Last night we had a blast playing in Knoxville at a private house party… it was filled with great food, great people, great acoustics, and just overall greatness. And then this morning we got to play at Pellissippi College for a music appreciation class… ROCK AND ROLL! Thank you so much to all the kind folks who invited us into their homes and places of employment.

Now we’re off to Nashville to play at The Basement, 8pm tonight. FREE! Hope to see you there, Nashivillians!

Once again, we felt overwhelming amounts of love from the good folks at IOTA in Arlington, Va. Tonight we are in our nation’s capital: DC. Playing at the Red and Black with the Kalob Griffin Band and the Midnight Wine. 9pm. Get your spanks on! Also, please check out Emily’s 365 Project where we wrote a song upon hearing about the neighborhood we are playing in (from someone who doesn’t live there!)

Thanks to the folks over at Schram Industries, (aka: Jeff) we’ve got a lovely new shiny website up and running! So shiny. So, so shiny.

Also, we’re on Day 3 of our Rebus McEnTOUR, and so far so good! We had an amazing time in Philly and Baltimore, and we’re heading down to Arlington, VA tonight for an open mic night at Iota Cafe to promote our show at The Red and The Black in DC on Thursday, 3/11. We love the East Coast, but we can’t wait to spread our Rebus wings and fly.

CACAW!

Exciting Stuff #1.
Our song “Oh, Death!” was played on WFMU today. Thanks, Irene Trudell. And thanks, Robbie Eckman for notifying us while we were away from the radio tubes. It’s a small victory, but it makes us feel fancy and good. If you’re not familiar with FMU, familiarize yourself with it. It’s easy to listen online if you’re not local, and it is always something new. It’s just an amazing independent radio that plays more variety than probably any other station in… I’d bet, the universe. Give them your money.

Exciting Stuff #2.
We’ve had our first cover song recorded, to our knowledge anyway. Check out Ar Hur’s version of Twice Today… it’s a totally unique and unexpected treatment. We met Ar Hur’s own Travis Pottle long ago at a show at SUNY Purchase, and he’s since been to almost as many shows as Jocelyn’s Mom. Maybe more. And he lives in Virginia. Really. Love his music. It’s weird. Good weird.

Exciting Stuff #3.
We are announcing a tour. Soon. Very soon.

Love,
Pearl and the Beard

It’s aptly named The 365 Day Project. Anywho, Pearl and the Beard helped her write a song for day 29. This is it. Lyrics provided by our friend Jon Barker. And if you’re wondering who that handsome fellow is on the side, that’s our hype man, Mios Dio. A.K.A, Jeremy’s roommate.

And snare brush question. http://pearlandthebeard.com/thankee-and-snare-brush-question/ http://pearlandthebeard.com/thankee-and-snare-brush-question/#comments Sun, 24 Jan 2010 17:55:18 +0000 Pearl And The Beard http://pearlandthebeard.com/?p=663 Thanks so much to all of you who came out to the show last night at Mercury Lounge. The show was sold out to capacity, and we only have you to thank for it! Team Genius and Xylos played awesome sets, and we’re so grateful we got to be a part of of such a solid lineup. Extra thanks to their fans who happened to come a little bit early in the night and who happened to enjoy us! We really had a great time playing and debuting two new songs for you… leave us a comment and let us know what you thought.


We also want to give a huge thanks to the spectacular Mr. Jim Altieri for accompanying us on accordion and violin. Not only is he a multi-talented instrumentalist, but he’s also a phenomenal composer. He wrote all the string arrangements on our album “God Bless Your Weary Soul, Amanda Richardson,” and it was so great to have him up on stage with us interpreting those parts on new instruments. Check out his new music compositions and other projects at his website, HERE. Also check out his sick John Cage tattoo.

Now, some of you up in the front row last night may have noticed it before she did, but about halfway through “The Lament of Coronado Brown,” the brushes of Jocelyn’s right snare brush simply fell out of their handle. The brush literally disintegrated in her hands. The only proper response to this… WHAT THE?! As a novice drummer, Jocelyn was completely perplexed. Have any of you drummers ever experienced this? And what can we do to prevent this sort of thing from happening again? Leave us a comment below with your ideas… any technique pointers or words of wisdom would be greatly appreciated!

Lastly, big ups to DJ Jazzy Jon Clark on omnichord during “I Can’t See Anything.” That dude can’t see anything without his glasses.

With Xylos, Team Genius, and other friends. http://pearlandthebeard.com/tonight-at-mercury-lounge-with-xylos-team-genius-and-other-friends/ http://pearlandthebeard.com/tonight-at-mercury-lounge-with-xylos-team-genius-and-other-friends/#comments Sat, 23 Jan 2010 18:53:39 +0000 Pearl And The Beard http://pearlandthebeard.com/?p=648 That’s right, friends… the day has come! Turns out we’re on a bill with a bunch of our old friends. It’s a small world, and what better way to celebrate the glory of of our punitive nature than stage diving? If enough people grace the floor tonight, Jocelyn promises to stage dive into the sea of your bodies. Will you be there to witness this potential lethal comic blunder? You decide!
