</div></div><br><br>So Max from Birthquake records is coming to richmond on January 9th with his band Wood Spider and a travelling art show. Awesome right? Lets save the date, here's his message:<br><br>.................<br>
<br>Hey there again, Jordan! It's Maxwell again. I hear the Thorn &
Shout show the other week went really well, so thanks again! Wish I
could've been there. <div><br></div><div>Well anyway, the reason I'm
getting in touch is because my band, Wood Spider, is going on tour, and
we were hoping to get another show at the Brick! We actually played
there once before last winter, although we were playing as a severely
impeded version of ourselves, without our bassist or cellist (and we
generally regarded it as our worst performance of the tour haha). This
time we'll have our full six-piece band, and we'd love to show y'all
what a real Wood Spider show is like (much better). </div>
<div><br></div><b style="font-family:Times;font-size:medium;font-weight:normal"><span style="font-size:13px;font-family:Arial;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap">Wood
Spider plays eclectic acoustic music resembling freak folk, folk punk,
post rock or ragtime, depending on our mood. Between the six of us, we
play accordion, cello, plectrum banjo, acoustic guitar, ukulele,
glockenspiel, upright bass, singing saw, washboard, cigar-box fiddle,
and percussion. We all sing! Maybe you’d like us if you like Blackbird
Raum, Thee Silver Mt. Zion, or Man Man. </span><br>

<span style="font-size:13px;font-family:Arial;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap">And here's some videos of us playing at recent shows:</span><br><a href="http://youtu.be/h3O5XE9QTnQ" target="_blank"><span style="font-size:13px;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(17,85,204);vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap">http://youtu.be/h3O5XE9QTnQ</span></a><span style="font-size:13px;font-family:Arial;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap"></span><br>

traveling with a gallery of artwork and literature, aiming to to
transform whatever space we perform into a multimedia experience,
bringing visual arts and literature to an audience that may not
otherwise seek it out (all we need is some wall and table space to set
it up). We hope to help to facilitate DIY artist collaboration, and
foster a community of artists who would rather collaborate with other
artists as opposed to faceless middlemen and businessmen. </span><br>

<span style="font-size:13px;font-family:Arial;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap"></span></b><br>..........................<br><br>I have some ideas involving having local richmond artists bringing some work, setting up a gallery, and having a few bands. We can talk about it more at the next meeting.<br>
