NEXT WEEK DO NOT MISS: Zammuto opening for Gotye at Fox Theatre Tuesday 9/18

Surely by now your weekend plans are all set and with so much going its easy to forget mid-week happenings but let us remind you about an outfit you should be checking out next week...ZAMMUTO

If you are heading to see Gotye this coming Tuesday at The Fox Theatre be sure to arrive early so you do not miss this band.


Filmmaker Matthew Day did a great documentary about Nick Zammuto (of Zammuto, The Books, etc.) and his unique life (he and his family live on a farm, grow their own food, do all their own renovations, etc) and working methods. It's beautiful and inspirational and just debuted online in advance of making the rounds on the festival circuit

Zammuto are presently on the first full-fledged US tour and have dates in Europe planned for the Fall (all dates posted below). In the film Nick demonstrates an idiosyncratic method for "programming" a beat by carving it into the center of an LP (check it out at minute 3) - the band are presently selling a tour-only edition of their debut LP with a screenprinted poster and a "beat" handcarved into the center of the record by Nick Zammuto.
