You are looking at the last two copies of @_nomad.war.machine and @susanalcornpsg ’s Contra Madre LP that I have in stock. @midheavenrevolver should have copies, but after these are gone, it’s OOP from the label. Going, going . . .
Happy Bandcamp Friday, everybody! By my count, I have 15 copies of Contra Madre left here. @midheavenrevolver has copies and so does @_nomad.war.machine , I think, but I’m almost out. Fair warning! I can’t get the counter thing on the BC page to work, but I’ll keep an eye on it. Thanks so much to those who have embraced this project so far. Susan Alcorn forever.
TUESDAY NIGHT at the Red Room, the @highzerofoundation hosts the Baltimore album-release show for Contra Madre, a galvanic collaboration between Philadelphia duo @_nomad.war.machine (@james.reichard.music on guitar and @zooolius on drums) and the late pedal-steel guitarist Susan Alcorn. No one can take Susan’s place, but violist @mylesofdestruction will be sitting in with NWM for this show. Plus a special opening set by the Cups, a collusion of Baltimore avant titans @donwingdowning , Hanna Olivegren, and @internet.greg ! That’s Feb. 10 at the Red Room at @normals_books_records , 425 E. 31st St, 8 pm, $10-$20 sliding scale (cash, if you please).
Tomorrow, Feb. 6, is Bandcamp Friday, which means it’s an excellent time to order a copy of Contra Madre, the raucous new album by @_nomad.war.machine and @susanalcornpsg on @vgplusrecs . Check it out at the link in the bio.
Today is the first anniversary of the passing of Susan Alcorn. Today is also the unofficial/spiritual release date of Contra Madre, her last completed recording, this one a collaboration with @_nomad.war.machine . Much love and gratitude to Susan, @blazingshutters55 , @james.reichard.music , @zooolius , @craigwbowen , @brandon_geurts , @chadpelton , and everyone else who helped make it happen. Watch this space for details on upcoming release shows in Baltimore and Philadelphia.
