We have not vanished! I’ve been working on a few non-Sparrow related things as-of-late, a couple of documentary soundtracks, finished recording the Robert Ellis record (I think it’s a great record. Robert is the moustached gentleman in some of our tour pics), hanging out with the dogs, and curling up with good books. I can tell you I/we are working on something that I’m really excited about for the fall. But I won’t say more than that right now! I will, however, give you a list of books that I’ve been enjoying… kind of catching up on several “must reads” that I’ve missed along the way.
1. Ham On Rye- I had always heard Bukowski was a pretentious asshole, who wrote books for pretentious people. I’m not sure what this says about me that I really enjoyed it, and thought it was fun.
2. The Neverending Story- Don’t laugh. It’s really good. You need the version with green and red ink.
3. All Families Are Psychotic
4. The Plot Against America
5. Henderson the Rain King

Hello Friends,
Been a while since I sent an update, but there’s big Lovely Sparrows news to report.
Yesterday SPIN.com debuted The Lovely Sparrows new music video on their BUZZCATCHER feature. You Ain’t No Picasso has also posted it today.
We’re all very proud of how the video turned out. Director/construction paper maestro Eric Power is one hell of an artist. I encourage you to check out more of his work here.
For those of you in the New York area, The Lovely Sparrows will be playing twice next weekend. On Friday, August 22nd at Pianos on the Lower East Side and on Saturday, August 23rd at Union Hall in Park Slope. Please see the flyer to the right, and let me know if you’d like to come out. (Billboard Magazine will be filming the Pianos show, for posting on their “Billboard Underground” web site feature.)
As always, you can keep current with band’s tour schedule, news, etc., by visiting www.thelovelysparrows.com
