As Jessica mentioned, I've left Ryko to aspire to making the BOF the stars they deserve to be. Since I was at the Record Release show I can give a pretty good rundown... The band played a really great cross section of old and new songs, they opened with one of my personal favorites, the Swedish Wedding March (from Thrills), and they ended up playing a good deal of music from that album (50 pieces was incredible! as was Minor Stab) in addition to lots from Oh! The Grandeur! and a few new ones. Here's a vague set-list, from what we can remember: 1st set: Swedish Wedding March Candy Shop Dora Goes to Town 50 Pieces Wishing for Contentment Eugene Pathetique (What's Your) Angle Tea and Thorazine Minor Stab Wait Coney Island Shuffle 2nd set: Respiration Cock o' the Walk Waiting to Talk Head Soak Too Long Fatal Flower Garden Idiot's Genius Vidalia Feetlips Beware After You've Gone Confession Depression Passillo encore: Dear Old Greenland Bessa Me Mucho (I probably spelled this wrong) El Cuarto De Tula They had a special guest, Nora from the Chicago band the Blacks, who sang harmonies on a few songs during the 2nd set, (Head Soak and a cover of Mississippi Shakes "Too Long" were standouts) Now of course I am biased as I know and love the band so they are bound to get grand reviews from me, but I must say that with every show they really seem to be getting better and better. I think the fall shows will be pretty incredible. Seeing the band at the Old Town School of Folk Music was great, it is a gorgeous sit down venue, and the sound was really amazing - it was nice to hear the subtlety and musicality of what they were doing instead of getting doused with beer in some packed rock and roll club. Though that is fun too sometimes. Apparently downbeat.com recorded the performance for an internet broadcast at a later date, so you will all be able to attend vicariously later! We'll keep you posted with that. Apart from that, the BOF is getting ready to head out on the wide open road to the west, so just in case any one is missing tour dates, check the rykodisc site for further updates. We're also planning stints to the south/east and eastcoast throughout the course of the autumn. We've been playing around with the idea of setting up BOF Reps in each town that would help with postering, getting the word out about shows, flyers, etc to help along the tour route. We'd hook up people with spots on the guest list or a CD for their troubles. So if this seems like something that people would be into, get in touch with me directly and I will try and start coordinating this with some of the folks at Rykodisc. OH! I almost forgot, the commercial for Tavalo is indeed band sanctioned, Tavalo is an internet online gourmet store. They fell in love with Feetlips, and I must say the music works really perfectly in the commercial. Well, that's all for now. Oh yes! bowloffire.com coming soon, and along with that will be the ability to order t-shirts and posters from the web-site. Lastly, in related but not exclusively BOF news, there is a great poster art exhibit at the Butcher shop on Lake Street in Chicago, we went on Sunday and saw an amazing array of poster art including Chris Ware, Jay Ryan, and Steve Walters who have all done art for the band. Highly recommended show, though I don't know how long it is going on ... Best, Andrea Troolin / grimsey records www.grimsey.com ANA D and Ibon from LE MANS on tour this fall!

I haven't written in a while but now feel moved to add to the dialogue. First, I want to say that I got "Oh! The Grandeur" a week or two back and think it's truly fab. To my mind definitely better than "Thrills," which was no shabby CD in its own right. But my praise for BOF's new CD is unstinting. The banjo/guitar/violin solos in "Dora Goes to Town" alone make the CD a worthwhile purchase. I wanted to go to their CD release show in Chicago this past weekend (I live in Northern Indiana), but in order to save money and take care of important business at home, I skipped it. I probably shouldn't have. Darn. I did actually go see the Knock-Down Society in Memphis, Tennessee a couple months back at the end of July and had a rope-a-dope time. They played at a tiny bar whose name now I can't recall, but it was a cool venue. Before the show started I was sitting at the bar with my girlfriend when Jimbo emerged from some back room and ordered a beer. No one else seemed to recognize him but when he passed by I stopped, introduced myself, told him how I was a fan of his work with the Zippers, Knock-Down Society, and Jazz Squad. He was appreciative and self-effacing and very friendly. The North Mississippi All-Stars, featuring Luther and Cody Dickinson from Gutbucket and the KDS, opened the show and were excellent. They played electric blues and performed one really riveting song which combined Robert Johnson's "Preaching Blues" with the Mississippi Sheiks' "Sittin' On Top of the World." As the KDS were setting up I remembered that I had a camera in the car and so asked Jimbo if he minded if I snapped photos of the band while they played. "Knock yourself out," he kindly told me, after which I rushed to my car only to discover that I'd left my camera in the hotel room. I could have kicked myself. The KDS were excellent, though. Their whole set was electric (after the show I asked Jimbo if their next release would be exclusively electric and he said it would be both acoustic and electric and would be long) and included a handful of tunes off the "Rosetta" CD but consisted mostly of as-yet unreleased stuff. It was uniformly great, though. The highlight for me was their cover of Charley Patton's "Shake It and Break It," during which Jimbo sang with the fervor of a revivalist preacher, "Everybody got a jelly roll! All God's children got a jelly roll!" At the end of the show Jimbo thanked "family and friends who came from near and far" -- at which point he looked over at me and my girlfriend and nodded. So I guess now I'm Jimbo's friend. Right on! (This was a phrase Jimbo used a lot, too, when I spoke with him.) Anyhow, it was a great show, and the whole trip -- which included a journey to Dyess, Arkansas, where Johnny Cash grew up, and Clarksdale, Mississippi, not to mention the usual Memphis sights like Sun Studio and Graceland -- was incredible. I highly recommend a trip to the Memphis area, especially if one of the Zipper-related bands is playing there.
