Commit Agendacide at the Tractor this Thursday
Hello Repnation,
John here: Our west coast tour was a great success featuring El Día de los Muertos parades in the Mission District of San Francisco, new celebrity fans, amazing workshops with the students at CalArts & University of Nevada, appreciative fans buying us hotel rooms and jazz organizations clamoring to get us down there again for special shows. Thanks to all of you that came out.
But now comes the event of the year…at least from a Reptet perspective.
The Seattle Agendacide Record Release Party this Thursday, 11/19. Agendacide is being released as a 45RPM vinyl record and digital download only. We are all beginning to move past the CD format people. The record comes with a code so you can download the mp3’s for you iPod and computer listening enjoyment, but you can also just purchase the digital files (in case you no longer, or never owned a turntable).
The party is going to be really fun and will feature Sam’s other project Orkestar Zirkonium kicking off the festivities. O.Z. describe themselves as, “a mobile, fourteen-member brass-and-drum ensemble that borrows from a variety of musical traditions, composes original music, and kicks out celebratory spectacle in a variety of circumstances. Zirkonium members hail from Circus Contraption, the Infernal Noise Brigade, the Anti-Fascist Marching Band, Reptet, the Empty Cage Quartet, the Fremont Philharmonic, and other groups; our songs draw from Eastern European / Roma brass, klezmer, Bollywood soundtracks, Ethiopian jazz, punk, funk, hiphop, and other musical idioms.”
