Low Tribute

by Joshua on May 3, 2011

Fields of Industry’s Joshua Barton assembled a side project for this 3-song Low Tribute from It Takes A Village To Make Records. Along with Joshua’s contribution of “Shame” from the album Long Division, Stargrazer performs “Hand So Small” and Double Saginaw Familiarity covers “Dragonfly.”

Listen below or download for free here.

JB & the Brothers and Sisters are:
Joshua Barton – vocals, guitar, wurlitzer
Thomas McAlvey – vocals, banjo
Michael McCabe – bass
Nikki McCabe – vocals
Mary Jane Walbridge – vocals
Lori Weismantel – vocals, piano

From the ITAV site:

This is the first, FREE installment of an ongoing monthly series of 3-sided split singles curated by It Takes A Village To Make Records (ITAV)! The “3-Way Singles Club” features exclusive tracks by independent artists, 3 songs by 3 different artists per single.

“Volume One” features three musicians offering their own take on songs originally written by beloved indie/slowcore band Low. Down the pike, ITAV will be releasing an album-length tribute to Low (probably late this year) that was masterminded/recorded by Bryan Kay at Shoeshine Studio in East Lansing, Michigan.

After hearing Bryan’s project, ITAV knew we had to put it out! In our excitement, we mentioned it to some friends — and voila, This unique 3-song mini-tribute was born! These are all exclusive to this single, none of them will appear on the full-length.

Subsequent volumes of the 3-Way Singles Series will be available for $3 each, or the whole series for an as-yet-to-be-determined subscription price — but this one’s FREE. Welcome to the club!

“3 Songs, 3 Bands, 3 Bucks”

TROUBLE HOUSE goes name-your-own-price

Eliza Joy Gallippo

January 1, 2011

Whether we coaxed her out of the womb with our set on night one of Mittenfest V this past Thursday, or she just decided the time was right, we’d all like to welcome little Eliza Joy Gallippo to the world. Fields of Industry’s own Eric Gallippo became a father on his birthday, 12/31/2010. Congratulations Eric [...]

catchup

November 10, 2010

We must acknowledge there is some catching up to do on this internet side of things. For now, we’ll just say thanks to everyone that came out to the shows last month and everyone that has been excited about the new album. It means a lot.
No more shows now ’til December, including the much-anticipated Mittenfest.

September 7, 2010

We’re all on the rebound from our surreal Indiana experience. Things have been good. We successfully executed at least one out-of-state show in Chicago, which was a lot of fun. Zikr and Sissy Mena were great bands and people to share a show with. We’ve also been at work planning a handful of Michigan shows [...]

The tour tragicomedy II

July 30, 2010

The van is dead; long live the van. It is destined for an afterlife of disseminated scrap. All cassettes were retrieved before abandonment, though we thought twice about actually claiming the dijeridu cassette, which may or may not have caused all of this trouble to begin with.
And, as previously feared, the tour is therefore over. [...]

The tour tragicomedy

July 30, 2010

Sequence of events:

Left Michigan in high spirits; van came with instructions from Ed (not joining us for the tour) that it had to be started in sequence with a particular Pantera song. Cassette was provided. Van was successfully started and driven across the Indiana border.
Played a thrift-store cassette of dijeridu and drumming, a self-purported Shamanic [...]
