Around this time last
year<http://nofearofpop.net/2011/05/premiere-pillars-and-tongues-the-making-graceful/>
Chicago’s
*Pillars and Tongues* enchanted us with their superb album *The Pass and
Crossings* on Empty Cellar
Records<http://www.endlessnest.com/store/index.php#ptpc>,
a stunning blend of slow-burning neo folk and melancholic, blue-eyed and
cloud-gazing yet earthbound psychedelia.

The band has headed off on an extensive late spring/early summer tour
through the States. To mark the occasion, Pillars and Tongues have just
released a free digital single, a re-recorded and alternate version of
“(Laid) Palms to Tell”, which had already been a standout on *The Pass and
Crossings* and that will be featured on a limited tour release. The free
digital single “(Laid) Palms to Tell” and two other tracks are available at
http://pillarsandtongues.bandcamp.com/album/laid-palms-to-tell.

*Extremadura* is Jeremy Barnes of Neutral Milk Hotel and A Hawk and A
Hacksaw fame perfroms solo

*Black Iron Trio* is the newest project formed by New Orleans
percussionist, Milton Villarrubia, III.This trio features J.A. “Dino” Deane
(Lapsteel dulcimer and electronics), Carlos Santistevan (acoustic upright
bass), and Milton Villarrubia, III (drum kit with effects). Using
improvisation as a vehicle for their pieces, the trio explores the dynamics
of music by combining the completely acoustic upright bass with two low
volume amplified instruments that are then processed through effects boxes.
At times mellow and blue and other times thick and ferocious grinding rules
the sonic sheets of sound, always with a focus on maintaining the dynamics
of the music to allow the listener to always feel the intimacy of the
upright bass. By combining ukelele, dulcimer, bass and drums in this
environment, Black Iron Trio is creating a new form of electro-acoustic
folk music at its best.

Deane and Santistevan have played together in numerous projects including: Out
of Context  <http://highmayhem.org/artists/music/out-of-context>(w/ Deane
as conductor), The Late Severa
Wires<http://highmayhem.org/artists/music/late-severa-wires>
, and Taiji Pole. Villarrubia and Santistevan have been playing music
together since 1999 and have been cohorts in numerous projects that have
ranged from fictitious avant-garde talk show house band to their
raucous-teenage-duo iNK oN
pAPER.<http://highmayhem.org/artists/music/ink-on-paper>

This is going to be an incredible show case of local and touring talent! Come
join us in Welcoming the Lovely and talented Ezza Rose and her band.
Portland darling and southern California native Ezza comes to Santa Fe
toting her well-received sophomore album “Jacob”. Ezza’s sophisticated mix
of Americana roots, folk, and blues as well as her soulfelt lyrics and
magnetic performances make her one of the most exciting new up and coming
indie artists on tour this summer.
