Margo, Jeff and I recently recorded an acoustic version of This Street, That Man, This Life and donated it to the album, Joey’s Song. All proceeds go to epilepsy research and you can check out more about the project and how to purchase the album at the official site.
We got a very nice mention on NPR’s All Songs Considered yesterday and they played “I’ll See You Around” off of Demons. Take a listen to the discussion if you’ve got the time.
Jason Lent has weighed in on Demons from his hutch in the desert. Check out his review on the No Depression website.
Tuesday (Jan 18th) is the last day for pre-order savings…make sure to check out the different bundles that we are offering.
Also, if you haven’t kept up on the Demons blogs, here they are:
A nice pre-release piece on Demons was published today on Spin.com, with a mention of what we have planned for Sing In My Meadow -Volume 3.
Remember to make your pre-order before Tuesday (Jan 18th) in order to take advantage of the discounts. And be sure to check out the Clubhouse Subscription.
A final reminder that the pre-order period for Demons ends on Tuesday (January 18th). So all of those awesome discounts will disappear (the various bundles will still be available and they’ll still be discounted, but the discounts won’t be as awesome). In any case, if your interested in the album, now is the time to act and to save a few coins.
In case you haven’t kept up on the Demons blogs here are the links to past blogs, which include some thoughts about Vic and his songs as well as lots of music:
It’s been our experience that the best time of year to visit any city in the North East is February….so we have a little jaunt planned to NYC for the second week of the month. We’ll be performing full shows at the very intimate City Winery on Feb 7th and 8th. We’ll be performing on Late Night With Jimmy Fallon on February 9th and we’ll be part of a much larger celebration of Neil Young’s music at Carnegie Hall on February 10th. So if you love those bleak, grey, cold as heck, deep-winter months as much as we do, plan a trip to NYC and put us on your itinerary. Bring your woolies.
Also, remember to pre-order your copy of Demons…the pre-order sales end on January 18th.
Just a reminder that our new album Demons is now available for pre-order. There are a lot of different packages to choose from and some of the special items that we are offering are; a seven song Bonus Track digital EP; a limited edition Audiophile vinyl edition of the album; and a limited edition Demons t-shirt. All of the packages are discounted and no matter which package you choose you will receive a digital version of the album on January 18th, which is the day that your order will be sent to you. The street date for the album is February 15th, so by ordering through us you will be receiving the album a month earlier than the fool next door. Also, be sure to check out the Clubhouse Subscription that gets you all of the downloadable music on our site, including Demons, and much more.
Here is a track from Demons to tweak your interest….this will be the big number one smash hit radio single…I’m pretty sure that the cast of Glee will be including it in their next season:
There is no doubt about it, Vic was a nomad….a nomad of the spirit and soul and a nomad of the road. He never stopped searching for meaning. His songs, right up to the end, were filled with internal wanderings and a determination to never settle down, to never be complacent, to never be satisfied with whatever meager offerings his journey unearthed. His wanderings in the real world were also well documented in his songs. One of the most common settings in his work are hotel rooms, unfamiliar spaces which he finds himself trapped in and screaming to escape. For anyone who has spent a lot of time on the road his settings are all too recognizable. The brilliance of Vic’s writing is the way he takes these external spaces and uses them to reflect the inner turmoil and sense of alienation that he was forever kicking against.
Here is our version of “Old Hotel” (which will appear on the Bonus Track EP), having just returned from Europe the sentiments expressed in the song strike close to the bone:
There are only a couple of more weeks left for the pre-order bundles….jump on in if you’ve got a bit of Festivus money burning a hole in your pocket.

We are now taking pre-orders for our new album Demons (Volume 2 of The Nomad Series). We will be shipping all pre-orders on January 18th (any vinyl orders will be shipped one week later). All pre-orders, of any format, include a free digital download of the album which will be available to all pre-order customers on January 18th. There are a few pre-order packages to choose from (all of them will save you money) and you can also choose to include the limited edition Demons t-shirt as well as the digital only, seven song bonus track EP. So please check out the pre-order page and choose what is best for you…and thanks, once again, for paying attention.
Our new album Demons and the accompanying seven song bonus track EP are now available for those of you with a Clubhouse Subscription. For those of you without a subscription, we will be starting pre-orders for the album later this week.
If you haven’t looked in to the Clubhouse Subscription, please do so. We think it’s a pretty good deal: in general, it buys you all of the downloadable content on our site including all of the music that we will be adding to the site over the coming year (including all four albums of the Nomad Series) as well as a book (are real book, not an ebook) about The Nomad Series that we will be publishing in early 2012.
