We are playing a house show on the 2nd of April in Philly at Osage House and our friend and host, Jacques-Jean Tiziou, is trying to fund a great project on Kickstarter called “How Philly Moves”.

A few words from Jacques, “I’ve long had a dream about community-supported-photography, and the kickstarter project is a fantastic way to make this happen… but I am going to need a lot of help in the coming 12 days in order to reach that threshold.”

You can watch the video and see below for more information on the project and if you feel so inclined, donate on the Kickstarter page. Hope to see you at the house show! You can RSVP by clicking on the name “Osage House”.

A city’s greatest resource is its citizens.

Your part in this: If you can make a contribution, that’s awesome. Thank you. Even if you can’t, please donate a bit of your time and the power of your networks by continuing to spread the word throughout the funding period.

Communion was born in the summer of 2006 at Notting Hill Arts Club. Founded by Ben Lovett (Mumford and Sons), Kevin Jones (Cherbourg) and producer Ian Grimble, it grew into a community of musicians, industry and fans alike, and provided a platform for the newest bands on London’s circuit. The night has seen the likes of Noah and the Whale, Laura Marling, Mumford and Sons, JJ Pistolet and Peggy Sue grace the stage and has become closely associated with the nu-folk movement in the capital. As well as this, it helped spawn the careers of artists such as Esser, The Holloways and Example, in keeping with the eclectic ethos that Communion has come to stand for. Now it’s coming to the US, in Brooklyn. And we’re part of it. Huzzah. This Sunday, January 9th at Public Assembly.

While we would never condone violence of any kind, occasionally you have to hit the road and go on tour in support of your new Extended Play Album, Black Vessel. We’re excited to dust off our sleeping bags, gas up the Harley with dual sidecars, see you again, and play with some great friends, like Holy Ghost Tent Revival, Ugly Purple Sweater, Lady Lamb the Beekeeper, Humming House, and of course, make some new friends along the way. Please tell your friends if they live in any of these areas, and of course if you live in any of these areas, please come and say hello and we can all hug.
