SleepWhenDead prince rama:

january 3 marks prince rama's first show as brooklyn residents. come out and welcome them. In their young lifespan, Prince Rama has toured the UK and US several times over, traveling with Teeth Mountain and sharing stages with Caribou, Wooden Shjips, Magik Markers, Psychic Ills, Indian Jewelry, Pocahaunte...d, and Kurt Vile and playing festivals with Pentangle, Spiritualized, Iron and Wine, Clinic, Black Mountain and many others. Their engaging and often unpredictable live shows reflect their
eclectic pool of mysticism; amidst collective chants, werewolf summonings, and Sanskrit invocations, they have been known to distribute hand drums, conch shells, bells, gongs, and other various percussion to members of the audience to create the ultimate communal ritual experience.

many mansions:

Jamaica plain, massachusetts based Many Mansions is the ongoing recording and performance project of Shane M. Donnelly. The project has many different faces and has evolved greatly since its inception as a lo-fi noise tape recorded on four-track cassette. Most recently, performances have been dance oriented, blending the repetitiveness of trance, the feel-good vibrations of tropicalia and the mind-beinding aspects of psychedelia. Many Mansions is touring in support of a split 12 inch with truman peyote released on the whitehaus family record.

truman peyote:

"You may remember the Jamaica Plain, Mass., group Truman Peyote from their Animal Collective-y track "New Wife, New Life" that we shared with you this summer. Now the group is back with a new split 12", titled Peaced Together, out next month on the Whitehaus Family label. Their hometown neighbors Many Mansions have the flip side, but for this track, "Sidewalk Sludging (Airbud)", Truman Peyote drop the group chorus in favor of a torrent of aqueous samples, dubby bass lines, and some heavily warped vocals." - pitchfork

SleepWhenDead SleepWhenDead is teaming up with Terror Pigeon Dance Revolt to take Shea Stadium and everyone inside it into the future with a ridiculous installation project, outlined by TPDR below:

"With stellar bands should come stellar circumstances and pageantry. With that in mind, a whole team of geniuses and baby geniuses are wo...rking 'round the clock to bring you a mind boggling theatrical production covering the history of the entire world! This will be a play in six parts, told not only by the costumed characters roaming about, but by the venue itself! Over the course of the 10 hour event the stage, walls and ceilings will transform before your very eyes! Stunning scenery, vexing video projections and astounding artist's murals will emerge! And yes even the ceiling will play a role in telling this age old story, with planets, asteroids, stalactites and brutus' knives colliding and exploding above you!

The tale will cover six major periods: dino world, lava time, an ice age, The Roman Empire, The 20's and the future!! Each period will have it's own delectable menu of eye popping, egg fertilizing events including dino encounters, asteroid showers, glacial attacks, live ice sculpture carving, chariot races, Julius Caesar's death, prohibition and friendly visits from friendly aliens! Even the bar will tell the tale, changing from Dionysus' Corner to speakeasy, etc. and etc!

And just what does the future hold in store for us?! Well we can't tell you much, but a sunrise greeting performance on the roof at 7 AM for one!!

And finally! When it's all over, when the rubble has settled, when there is truly nothing left to be learned about the world, past, present or future, we'll all come back inside and cook everyone pancakes. If you want blueberries or chocolate chips in them you bring 'em!!"
