Avast comrades!

We are happy to announce our new CD through Nervous Relatives Records (the first in two years). Copies of the New Album 'Mass Exodus' are available now. Visit our store.

HUMANWINE's latest full length CD (released 10/08/09 through their own label, Nervous Relatives Records) Mass Exodus is a tall glass of allegorical song stories lifting a few more veils that have been covering their elusive Vinland since 2000; a land filled with riddles, keys, captains, seafarers, makers, breakers, dissenting masses, a drug hazed public, caustic self appointed leaders, a cog turned YerYerOwn called 01, their journey through a forbidden city which reveals important bits of enjoyeur history including an early deal with the terrible Not-Me, the listener is dropped off at the door of the Veil Nil in the form of a cliffhanger poised for a sequel that we won't have to wait 2 more years for. HUMANWINE has been bitten by the recording bug and how sweet the sting!

Mass Exodus reminds us that we are all a stone's throw away from shedding our self-imposed chains and encourages us to question not only how but why we chose them in the first place.

All 14 tracks were either recorded live at shows, a renegade trip late at night to a studio or recorded on HUMANWINE's own Converted School Bus, engineered by Holly Brewer, M@ McNiss, Anthony Froney and Matt Malikowski, HUMANWINE (Brewer/McNiss) produced, mixed and mastered the entire album.

Visit HUMANWINE's online store to purchase Mass Exodus.

Pass this around to anyone who you think would enjoy the work of HUMANWINE. Thank you.

LONG LIVE ART! RAH! RAH!

These are the times, my friends. And these are the days. Where the world becomes malleable, palpable. When novelty and genius are within our reach. We are cautioned against being passionate about these things by tales of progress turned to greed and of technology turning on us. And yet, the golden light is just right, the clocks are synchronizing, the stars are in alignment.
- c. lantz

This is what we celebrate tonight. We celebrate these transient times, with these transient artists.

Wearables, craftables, and edibles provided by a plethora of local and regional artisans. We will take a dinner break (with DJ) at 6:30 pm - please bring your own sack meal, a picnic to share, or food can be acquired from two of our vendors. Vegan options available. Adult beverages can be purchased by 21+ individuals.

Willow and I are so excited about bringing HUMANWINE to Seattle. Our friends from Sock Dreams will be arriving from Portland to vend excellent foot/legwear.

Larger poster is here. Leave me (Libby) a comment if you’d like to help out at the event or hang flyers–I have an 11×17 hi-res PDF in the wings for print-yr-own.

Spread the word.
All are welcome.

Thank you.

TOOLZ: Aktorz



HUMANWINE will be joined by A Far Cry for a full 2 HOUR SET! If you have a camera bring it to this show. Not to say HUMANWINE is wrapping up but once this show is complete we will compile all live material of our new songs and get them ready for release. The New CD will be available before the end of the summer out on Nervous Relatives Records. HUMANWINE just released Mass Exodus the ep through Nervous Relatives Records. Get a copy here.

A Far Cry (Boston's proudly unconducted Chamber Orchestra)We are a group of musicians bound together by our desire to share great music and great art with people who are young, people who are mature, those near, and far. The music we play is music we love, and music we don’t want to live without. We have a mission to bring together all the loves of our lives, those that range from film, dance, and visual art, to our love for each person who lives the joy and suffering (and in-betweenness) that inspire the art of life. We are excited to have you join us as we discover how we can communicate our passion with different audiences, with different artists and with each other, to be a part of the cries of need and celebration that make up the world in which we live.

The Boy Who Spoke Clouds (AUS) The Boy Who Spoke Clouds might be described by some as indigenous, world, tribal, folk, neo folk, electroacoustic, or some amalgamation of the above. Imagine Sufjan Stevens meets Jesu. The Boy Who Spoke Clouds is an intimate portrait of Adam Casey and his native Australia and emotes something lost in much of today's music; no doubt having a tendency to put down roots wherever he is listened to. The Boy Who Spoke Clouds will be launching their debut album (released on Sun Sea Sky Productions) and touring as a three piece band across the Eastcoast of the USA, and the Southcoast of Canada throughout June/July, 2009.

We know some folks who drive from North Carolina, Pennsylvania and far reaching states who are saddened when HUMANWINE plays a 30 minute set, WELL **TONIGHT WILL NOT BE ONE OF THOSE NIGHTS!

THEME: Community R.I.C.E! (Resist, Inform, Communicate, Enliven!

10pm - Abney Park
Abney Park comes from an era that never was, but one that we wish had been. An era where airships waged war in the skies, and corsets and cummerbunds were proper adventuring attire. They’ve picked up their bad musical habits, scoundrelous musicians, and anachronistically hybridized instruments from dozens of locations and eras that they have visited in their travels and thrown them into one riotous dervish of a performance. Expect clockwork guitars, belly dancers, flintlock bassists, middleastern percussion, violent violin, and Tesla powered keyboards blazing in a post- apocalyptic, swashbuckling, Steampunk musical mayhem.

9pm - HUMANWINE

There are only two bands on the bill, HUMANWINE is direct support for Abney Park. Doors are @ 8pm and the show starts with HUMANWINE @ 9pm.

Avast Comrade!
Here we are and February is upon us. We hope you've settled into the idea that we have a new President in the U.S.A. and that there is a bunch of work that needs to be done. Keeping a positive attitude is great but we have to step up and make sure we keep the pressure on our City Council, Representatives and Senators, the President and his cabinet starting from the community and working our way up because no matter how hard you yawn at the thought of politics your everyday life is greatly affected by the decisions made there; The Patriot Act for example.
Family is key and family is a BIG word, it is not determined by birth. "Sometimes families change, we have to make our own". Get to know your neighbor, the post office folks, local shop owners, etc. Just saying "Hi", smiling at a random person, letting someone out into traffic on Centre street in J.P. because you know they won't get in otherwise or stepping outside your own boundaries to help someone who's in obvious need. These actions ripple deeply into our fragmented society and increase the chance of unifying us as a people.

Oliver and all lovers of puzzles; This one is for you!

MakeTV is a growing branch of Make Magazine, they decided to branch out by documenting their 'findings' in the form of video and PBS picked it up. The show we were part of was about Jake Von Slatt, a HUMANWINE "Mechanical Saint",donated to us, all of our major appliances, a boatload of cable, piping and a distro box. He mentioned to MakeTV that we had made use of a bunch of his donations and thought that they should come and check us out. They all came over for a show @ Awesomeville and an interview about our house,the bus. Jake documented his experience here.

Recycled Movement Last fall we stepped up our conversion on the bus racing against the inevitable looming New England winter. In November we had an important meeting with Al the Ninja and Father Blake. We decided to put the bus up on blocks in N.H. for the winter so we can reconnect in May and complete the final stages of the conversion with clearer heads and warmer weather. All the plans remain the same, we will be back in May to finish the last little bits of the bus' elec./heating/plumbing system and to complete the transmission overhaul. We are in the planning stage of a June show at The Paradise so get ready for that one it's going to be a grand event, we'll be armed with a new album of material, we're writing like maniacs out here.

In late September we went into WZBC late one evening recently to record a few tunes and for an interview with Some American Sessions' Sean O'Donnell. We got a chance to record a brand new song regarding the treatment of reporters at the DNC as well as the RNC. This song came in one day and sat down and has found it's way on to our upcoming album. Enjoy a live version of 1st Amendment here.

P.s.
When you go to vote, demand a paper ballot. If you are held back from a paper ballot and must use an electronic voting machine THEN bring a phone camera, camera or video recorder with you and tape the process.

The lines will be long, they want you to turn away. Bring a chair, water, snacks, a book and be vocal to those around you who say,"I'm just going to go, this is going to take forever."
Actions speak louder WHEN DONE!

When we hear our songs in our heads we hear them in a very orchestral way but we have never had a chance to hear see/hear/feel these songs dripping with strings, covered in a fine layer of violins, laid down in a bed of cellos and upright bass and wrapped lovingly with viola.
September 28th, in a warehouse in Allston Massachusetts, with A Far Cry our dream came true.
8 songs were chosen  6 days before the show.
M@ transposed all of the songs within 3 days and e-mailed them off to Courtenay Vandiver (cello) and Ashley Vandiver (violin) who then built parts for all the songs in 2 days.

Day of the show
Sunday
A Far Cry trickled into the space
we went over each song once
The moment we heard the first song
We were seeing the song or real
for the first time
and a few hours later
our dreams came true

Ken from Brighton, MA said,
"I really enjoyed the performance and the backing strings section - it brought back the mystique of one of Pan 9's *you just had to be there to see them* shows to Rugg Road."


Then night began with What Time Is It? Mr.Fox, a welcomed, reoccurring visitor of Vinland, who filled the room with songs from their new album, tales of Joan D'Arc, love and Religious interference performed by Brian King (piano/guitar), Nathan cohen (violin), Courtenay Vandiver (cello) yes she was in all three bands! and Mike Leggio (double bass).

Brian King said,
"I have spent countless hours, driving through snowstorms, hurricanes, to concerts, shows, plays, movies, anything, hoping to be moved, shaken, or transformed.  Unfortunately I'm often let down.  Something is missing.  I'm just not taken over or taken in.  Or I just don't believe it.   But I still continue to go, knowing that at some point someone is going to reach into my chest and shock me back to life.   Sunday was one of those nights. 
Everything felt real.  No clever aesthetic.   Just the raw beauty of true passion and talent transcending ego and creating something alive.   I'm beyond thrilled to have been able to be there and part of it.   That night I dreamt in strings. "

The center of the evening was filled with the sounds of Boston's Unconducted String Orchestra, A Far Cry who's set included the likes of Bartok & Mozart performed by Andrew Eng, Annie Rabbat, Ashley Vandiver, Courtenay Vandiver, Frank Shaw, Jesse Irons, Loewi Lin, Margaret Dyer, Megumi Stohs, Sarah Darling, Sharon Cohen


Amy Toxic said,
"It was a fantastic night. You sounded brilliant! Like it was meant to be that way.
It can’t get much better than hearing both Bartok and HUMANWINE live on the same night!"


Afterward members of A Far Cry came up to us and said, "I've always wanted to play to a standing audience."
Think about it
you're in an orchestra
the audiences generally are sitting and reserved
they clap at the end of each piece
and remain silent otherwise.

The set up of a Concert Hall lends a hand in creating
the atmosphere of institution unless you look deeper into ART.

It can seem like a "one way energy stream".
If the audience doesn't give back
the energy coming from the stage
hits a sponge.

The CYCLE is broken
it can be draining
 
whereas
when the energy coming from the stage
is allowed to be a CYCLE
it is so enlivening

you don't even feel like
you're pushing.


For example
2 shows
1 week apart
The artist(s) put 100% into both shows.
NIGHT #1 the audience is like the aforementioned audience (sitting, reserved, docile)
NIGHT #2 the audience is REACTING to you (standing/sitting/crawling on the rafters, laughing, dancing, singing along, standing perfectly still with their jaws open in appreciation), the 2 shows will "feel different" to the artist(s).
The first night will be more of a drain and the second night will leave the artist(s) energized.

It's a symbiotic relationship between the audience and the stage.
As lovers of ART, we are often in an audience
as a part of the audience
you can tell whether an audience
is a CYCLE or a SPONGE

HUMANWINE shows have been filled with positive and open energy for a long time running.
We all feel honored to collaborate with so many wonderful bands
who we love
and to know that there will be the likes of YOU there reciprocating, inspires us all
to do it a while lot more.

Hailed by the Boston Globe as “one of Boston’s most promising classical music groups,” A Far Cry is making waves, experimenting with how music is performed and heard. A tightly-knit group of 16 young professional musicians, A Far Cry formed in early 2007, seeking the freedom and flexibility of a string quartet as well as the power and beauty of an orchestra. Operating with rotating leadership and no conductor, A Far Cry is generating interest not only in the concert hall, but also with its innovative model. All artistic decisions are made by vote as a collective, and the musicians take care of all the behind-the-scenes work, from booking concerts to designing programs. A 501(c)(3) not-for-profit corporation, A Far Cry is also committed to social change and harmony, donating proceeds from concerts to homeless shelters in the Boston area, and partnering with other non-profits such as the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. A Far Cry’s 2008-09 season holds engagements at the Yellow Barn and Kneisel Hall Festivals, concerts from Minnesota to Florida, and a growing hometown series in Boston.

with Dorian Wood (L.A.)
Black Fortress of Opium
Garvy J

We are thrilled to bring Dorian Wood to Boston! A monster talent: "The androgynous emotionality of Wood’s singing voice lends itself to the demanding theatricality of [his] lyrics, arrangements and production. The nakedness of a lover’s need and the wide-eyed madness that ensues when that need is not met twine around one another." - LA Weekly ----- "Dorian’s voice is evocative of those persons, places and things in your mind that ring like cultural archetypes (the carnival ring leader who knows everyone’s secrets, the fool lamenting at the moon, the gregarious saloon piano player), but these apparently familiar characters he seems to be depicting yank at the proverbial rug under you and demonstrate his dynamic cultural literacy. Though they draw from different sources, his songs’ emotional roots are firmly planted in his own experience." - Signal Tribune ----- "Wood unleashes gospel-infused wails and testimony that bring the audience…to a frenzy.” – The Advocate ----- "Dorian Wood is an instigator extraordinaire. A shape-shifter. A subtle court jester posing as a harmless house pet. An inspiring addition to the freakish world we now live in...a true artist in the purest sense of the word. Fearless, confident, filled with passion. His songs are beautiful without being pretty, well orchestrated, and creepy almost to the point of being masochistic, all the while continuing to work under the guise of ’folk music’." - Citizen LA Mr. Fox goes on at 9pm sharp Garvy J: 10pm Black Fortress of Opium: 11pm Dorian Wood: 12 midnight

WHO is MR. FOX? a dahl character? bluebeard-like bachelor? a teacher? a friendly furry creature with an intimate knowledge of clocks? any ideas are welcome. Never fit into a scene. never subscribe to a specific genre. just try to be true to the guts of the song. whether it be gospel, carnival, psychedelic blues, folk, country or a collage, we hope the truth of it comes through. Lots of songs about relationships and their many beautiful and demonic manifestations. songs about identity, and trying to make sense of the inner workings of our own clocks. and of course the occasional "i just got dumped," "i'm afraid you're going to dump me," or "you smell" songs. So i write the songs and fantasize about being some sort of male annie lennox. nathan travels abroad like bartok, collects ideas, and basically proves you can play any type of music on a violin. so when we make music we get to be transported to turkey, alabama, ghana, hungary, ireland and sometimes pluto.
 

Avast Ye!

Knowing the every single year the Pentagon receives more money than they ask for deepens this wound even further, now, not only are our tax dollars going to more pork in the already misappropriated military budget but our money is actually going into ad campaigns in other countries to try and convince their populous that WE ARE GOOD, WE ARE GOD, but it's not even US it's the American Dream; they are hoping to run that faded vision of our lady of Liberty standing for freedom, truth, justice, the American way through enough Photoshop that no one will notice that she is dead.
