SUMMER JAMZ

admin — Thu, 04 Apr 2013 20:44:58 +0000

Hey Sweet Friends!

Long time no talk. Sorry. Been busy doing a bunch of movie stuff and producing some other folks’ records which is fun. But there is some Fruit Bats live business on the horizon for you.

I’ll be playing some Robyn Hitchcock tunes at the Fillmore in SF on May 2nd with an INSANE lineup including the man himself… It’s a celebration of RH’s 60th b-day. Did I mention the lineup is rad?

Then, I’ll be playing a show with my good pal Andy Cabic of Vetiver at The Chapel in SF on May 8th, it’s Andy and I playing all your favorite Vetiver/Fruit Bats hits plus some choice covers with an all star Bay Area lineup. We’ll be following that show up with the same deal at the Mother Hips’ awesome Hipnic in Big Sur on May 11th.

Later in the summer, the full wrath of Fruit Bats will be unleashed upon Carnation, WA at the brand-spankin’ new Timber Festival (on July 27th.)

Also a small handful of new Fruit Bats shows that we’ll let you in on very soon… Mouthfuls 10 Year anniversary shows this year. Yep!

Love you,

EDJ

“Smashed” at Sundance

Hey, if you’re at Sundance, check out director James Ponsoldt’s film “Smashed.” I had the pleasure of composing and performing the score alongside my dear friend Andy Cabic of Vetiver, and it’s our first collaboration! The movie, incidentally, is a real beauty… Here are the vital details. xoxo EDJ

Echolation 10-Year Anniversary Party in Portland

admin — Wed, 21 Dec 2011 03:40:55 +0000

Hey all! Our tight bros at Portland’s Jealous Butcher Records are releasing a limited edition vinyl version of Fruit Bats’ “Echolocation” to commemorated the ten-year (!) anniversary of that release. Come on down to Valentines tomorrow night – Wednesday 12/21 – for a chance to grab a copy. Its also a release party for the amazing Laura Gibson, and will feature a short set from Laura, as well as Duover (featuring Fruit Bats’ Nathan Jr.). I will likely sing a couple tunes, and will be spinning some sweet vinyl for ya. See you there?

Sincerely, EDJ

Fruit Bats are happy to announce shows for the kids… the little ones!

admin — Tue, 20 Sep 2011 23:17:19 +0000

After 10 years of rock and roll touring in bars, clubs and theaters we’ve realized we’ve seriously neglected a huge population of potential fans – the “under 8 crowd”. To rectify this error we are happy to announce the following two performances: first we’ll play You Who (Halloween show) on October 30th in Portland at McMenamins Kennedy School… After that we’ll play Yo Gabba Gabba Live on November 13th in Seattle at the Paramount Theater. Bring your parents, kids.
