I talked to her for a bit that night but that was pretty much it. Cole did tell her that you set the show up, though. And he also mentioned that you did house shows in the past at 611.
 I am almost sure he pointed you out to her when you came in, too. So yeah, it is a bit surprising that she didn't talk to you for this piece.

[teepo]

i know shannon wright is already attached to some dates that yann tiersen is playing. if there is anyway you can grab her for a solo show in or around dc, i'd be forever grateful.

What's this about Yann Tiersen?

[snailhook]

shannon wright is great, haven't seen her in years, since she opened for dirty three in 2004 maybe. is she booking herself these days or does she have an agent? i don't know who yann tiersen is. enlighten me.

[snailhook]

ah, so yann tiersen is the guy who composed the "amelie" soundtrack. and he and shannon collaborated on a record in 2004. i guess i'm out of the loop. i have her first few quarterstick records.

i just looked on her myspace page, and she lists 2/15 at black cat, and 2/17 at the first unitarian church in philly. i'd love to book her at the velvet.

[teepo]

ahh! i didn't notice that she has a new myspace page. i just clicked on the first result google gave me, which was her previous one.

would've much preferred velvet lounge but i'll take this!

The Amelie soundtrack is too precious for me. Good Bye Lenin is what I was interested in.

Tiersen at 930 on 2/15 at 10:00.

I guess this means Shannon Wright is doing double duty that night? Or maybe she isn't playing that show at the club.

Six Organs of Admittance also playing a gig at The Stone on 3/5. A Six Organs/Magik Markers/Sic Alps show at Velvet on the 6th would be huge.

i'm doing the rotunda show in philly, so i already asked about a dc date. they're skipping it this time around.

[azaghal1981]

Rotunda it is for me then, I guess.

[snailhook]

the rotunda show might have purling hiss opening.  i asked blues control but they couldn't play.  if purling hiss can't play, kohoutek might open as a warm-up for our south tour.

[Epstein]

get the hiss if you can

that richie lp rages hard

[snailhook]

in agreement.  i really dig both purling hiss albums.  mike's interested, and they'd be perfect on that bill.

[snailhook]

michael chapman is touring the states mid-april to mid-may.  i'm trying to do philly and dc shows, maybe more.
