Tiny Mtns, The Great Unknown

As for our show at Tea Bazaar the night before last, we "headlined," playing to an elite crew of only our most devoted followers.

Before we took the stage two bands played. Tiny Mtns (formerly called Elijah Wyman) had acoustic guitar, clarinet, and banjo. The middle third of the set was performed by Elijah alone, on auto-harp, which he played without having to look at the labels on the buttons, something I'd beforehand only seen done by my second-grade music teacher. In trio-mode they had some really cool three-part harmonies.

The Great Unknown was five strong guys from Philadelphia. They had two guitars, bass, drums, and a lap steel. They were country and West(ern)-Philadelphia music, I guess. They confirmed what my brother has said about Philadelphia having a difficult to use bus system.

I'm at Mss!

OMG! I'm at the mss. show right now!

Edit (the next day): Maybe it's because Mss. looks a lot like mms, but I felt like trying out some techno-live-blogging while watching Mss. throw corn and rock the shit out of the Tea Bazaar last night.

Anyway, here's some pictures I took of them.

They were awesome, as usual. Low-key barely-controlled chaos. I certainly hope the Posters can play with them again some time this fall.


Anybody who is frustrated with the lack of clarity in these pictures is welcome to buy me a new phone with a better camera.

More pretty dark live videos!

Yes, here we are the day after our second 4 member band show with two more quite dark videos of the show. We opted for two complete songs this time which was nice, so all of you lucky fans get That Thing you Don't with Sam the songwriter virtually a shadow, and The Victory Lap, where you can see what's going on a bit better. Enjoy these snippets of The Hilarious Posters rocking the Twisted Branch Tea Bazaar in Charlottesville. Also I have included some photos. That's what we looked like!

Tea Bazaar, Thursday, August 27th

We're all getting ready for the big show. Here's a preview. We won't have these backup singers, but my "rock moves" will be exactly as awesome as they are here. (Also Renee's hair will be longer.)

We Humbly Present.....

Well, we didn't win the Monitor Mix Video Blog theme song contest. But it was a privilege just to be nominated, particularly considering that Renee and I kicked it out in about an hour on the night before the deadline. Anyway, for those that never got a chance to hear it, I thought I would post it here. Could this be the Posters new musical direction? Probably not....
