Weird Weeds‘ vocalist, drummer Nick Hennies has been extremely active recently.  In addition to having just wrapped Help Me Name Melody for the Weeds, this year he’s already released both a recording of Alvin Lucier’s Still and Moving Lines of Silence in Families of Hyperbolas (available now on Quiet Design) and an album of solo material entitled Lungs (available now from Full Spectrum).  A live version of his “Psalms” works has also been made available this year via Compost and Height.  Busy busy busy.

Nick Hennies will tour behind these releases starting next week:

•  29 July – St. Louis, MO @ Lemp Arts
•  30 July – Chicago, IL @ Heaven Gallery
•  31 July – Indianapolis, IN @ Indianapolis Museum of Art

•  03 August – Cleveland, OH @ Bela Dubby
•  04 August – Toledo, OH @ Robinwood Concert House
•  05 August – Ann Arbor, MI @ Canterbury House

The Weird Weeds then set out on tour with the Tim Barnes/John Dieterich/Thollem McDonas Trio to promote Help Me Name Melody, which comes out September 14th on LP and CD:

Sunset and Sleep Good are setting off on tour together, starting this Thursday in Houston, on what they’ve dubbed the “Hot Pink Haze Tour”, an “homage” to “Himi Jendrix. That’s Jimi’s half -brother who played keyboards with Boz Scaggs and released a solo album called Hot Pink Haze. That album can be found in thrift store record bins.” I’ve heard that’s a tough one to find.

Sleep Good is along for the East Coast dates, then it’s Sunset from there on out.
