The New Ester Drang Album

Wow… first I found out about a new Denison Witmer album, and now I see that Ester Drang has a new album coming as well. The album is titled Rocinate (which could be an obscure Dirty Pair reference, but I’m not sure), and while there’s no release date yet, the record is done and just has to go through the “music business bologna” (the band’s own words) before it can be released.

The band will, however, be previewing some of the new album’s material during a handful of summer appearances with Half-Life Souvenir:

  • Fri 06/24 Norman, OK @ The Opolis w/Student Film
  • Sun 06/26 Detroit, MI @ The Magic Stick w/Longwave
  • Mon 06/27 Chicago, IL @ Schubas w/Starflyer 59
  • Tue 06/28 Minneapolis, MN @ 7th Street Entry w/Starflyer 59
  • Wed 06/29 Iowa City, IA @ Green Room w/Starflyer 59
  • Thu 06/30 Champaign, IL @ Cowboy Monkey w/Starflyer 59
  • Sat 07/02 Marietta IL @ Cornerstone w/Over the Rhine

The Ester Drang/Over the Rhine show sounds like heaven on earth, IMHO.
