"In the Aeroplane Over the Sea"
Site | Facebook | Twitter | iTunes
This song has always stayed with me over the years. Many of Mangum's words haunt me in the best possible way. Ever since the first time I heard it I've been pretty blown away by the treatment Channy's voice gives this song. I highly recommend checking out Roma di Luna's official recording which is available on 2007's Find Your Way Home. Thank you to the band and to The Cedar for always allowing me to record the shows. The Cedar is definitely the venue to see this band.
Note: This was a 4 piece Roma di Luna set with Channy Casselle, Alexei Casselle, Ryan Lovan (drums) and Adam Hulbert (bass). Roma di Luna supported Joan as Police Woman.

Wow, what a show. This was a co-album release with Dark Dark Dark. Caroline Smith and the Goodnight Sleeps supported Saturday evening. This recording is available in FLAC format via BitTorrent. Further information regarding those technologies can be found along the right side of the blog below the Venue listing. It's possible that this recording may also be available on the Live Music Archive at some point but right now this torrent is the only way to obtain it. Roma di Luna's Then the Morning Came as well as Dark Dark Dark's Wild Go are both available through the bands' websites. I'm sure they are or will be available at a good number of the local Minneapolis/St. Paul record stores (check The Electric Fetus, Treehouse Records, Cheapo, Yeti Records and Extreme Noise).
Thank you to the bands and to First Avenue for allowing us to document this show. Much respect to Lee and Conrad.

Roma di Luna Release Third LP: Then the Morning Came
On Saturday October 2nd Roma di Luna will release Then the Morning Came in the Mainroom at First Avenue.
"Mythologist Joseph Campbell once wrote, “Love is a friendship set to music.” For Alexei & Channy Casselle, husband and wife who began playing as Roma di Luna five years ago, that love is too big not to share. What started as a simple yet profound folk-singing duo on the 2006 EP Face of My Friends and 2007's Find Your Way Home began to develop as a band on 2008’s Casting the Bones. Now with full-time band members in the dynamic rhythm section of Ben Durrant, James Everest and Ryan Lovan, as well as vocalist Jessi Prusha, Roma di Luna has come into it’s own on the forthcoming full-length Then The Morning Came."
"Then The Morning Came weaves together influences of roots, bluegrass, gospel, psychedelia and soul, arrangements the band members brought to the structures supplied by Channy & Alexei. Channy's evocative voice remains front and center, surrounded by a magnificent array of sounds and textures inspired by the collaborative and adventurous approach the whole band took to producing the album. Recorded from April of 2009 to July 2010 at Crazy Beast Studio (Dosh, Andrew Bird) the process of Then The Morning Came was surrounded by births and deaths, often beset by a chaos and confusion that almost stopped the music-making altogether. Rising from challenges, the new life of the four babies who were born to the band members during recording was a source of comfort and strength. Channy wrote of the time, “Most of these songs were written and recorded with my newborn daughter in my arms. They are a reflection of the life and death surrounding her first year on this earth, the love and the madness I found in myself and the friendship of all my fears.” In that compass of Roma di Luna’s personal joys and struggles they made a record that builds on the traditions of the band and the cornerstones of American music, but contains its own entrancing power that is wholly and passionately their own."
Roma di Luna - "Hey Lover"
Upcoming Shows:
August 27th - Minnesota ZOO Amphitheater w/ Carolina Chocolate Drops, 7pm
September 5th & 6th - MN State Fair: Heritage Stage, 6pm
October 2nd - First Avenue Mainroom, w/ Dark Dark Dark (also their CD release show), Caroline Smith & the Good Night Sleeps, DJ Anatomy, Minneapolis, MN 6pm

Chastity Brown CD Release Show This Saturday
The Cedar
416 Cedar Ave S, Minneapolis MN 55454
Saturday June 12th
Doors at 7pm with music at 8pm
Tickets $10 in advance and $12 day of show
Looking for a surefire good time at one of the city's best venues this Saturday? If you're a fan of legendary acoustics you may want to consider joining Chastity Brown at The Cedar for the release of her band's new album High Noon Teeth, the follow up to 2009's Sankofa and 2007's Do The Best You Can. Chastity's stellar vocal capabilities are worth the price of admission along but her band certainly packs a punch with Michael X. (percussion), Adam Wozniak (of Tarlton, upright bass) and Nikki Schultz (backing vocals) in the lineup. Leave it to Chas to round out the bill with some top shelf support in Roma di Luna (duo) and No Bird Sing (acoustic). Roma di Luna duo sets can be rather rare these days and are not to be missed. As many times as I've seen them I myself have yet to witness an acoustic No Bird Sing set. I'm not even certain this has publicly happened before but with it going down at The Cedar it's sure to be special. With all three of these acts sharing the same bill it's going to be difficult for folks in attendance to take their attention away from the stage.

Hopefully people out there appreciate the fact that these guys don't get together much anymore. Great set. To be honest I had forgotten how much I love this band. You should probably pick up a record if you don't have any of them. This was a celebration of Steve's birthday. Communist Daughter, Roma di Luna and Building Better Bombs also played.

On this night we celebrated Steve Yasgar's birthday. Steve's lady friend Lee was caring enough to put together a special surprise bill. Communist Daughter, Ela (reunited w/ original line-up) and Building Better Bombs played as well. It was one of the most complete & solid shows from start to finish in recent memory. As you can see this was also a very unique Roma di Luna set. Not only are the duo performances rare these day but the set was full of brilliant covers...some perhaps never performed before of ever again. Have a listen, you'd be a fool to miss this one.
Please check back if you're interested in FLAC files. I also wanted to try to get some of the other sets posted. Ela is close.

This was a rare performance by Crescent Moon is in Big Trouble. Maybe their second this year? Maybe their sixth ever? You try not to miss these if at all possible but sometimes it happens. Well, if they had to listen to one in 2067 I'd like for it to be this one because the quality is sassy. The performance and the sonics are tops. The BBQ Chicken Po-Boy was delicious as usual. Look for their EP on emusic or other fine online stores and independent record shops.

Please support Roma di Luna by picking up the official releases.
I kept this one on the shelf because of the five unreleased songs that were played. Out of respect for the band these songs will not be made available for download. This post is unique in that it's the first time I've offered hi-res mp3s for direct download instead of .flac files via a pesky torrent hosted on another site.
More hi-res mp3 downloads of other shows to come. Keep an eye on the "mp3 series" tag.

This was a special Roma di Luna Holiday show with the Chastity Brown Band opening. Thanks go out to the artists and to the Cedar for allowing these sets to be recorded. There were 3 tapers in attendance (AKG 414, Microtech Gefell & MBHO). The original material that Roma di Luna produces is always top notch but this particular show is worth checking out for the chilling renditions of "Silent Night" and "Stand By Me" alone. Trust me, you won't be disappointed by anything in between either. The Cedar was filled to capacity and I still wish more people would have gotten the chance to witness this great evening of music. Long live the Cedar.

Twin Cities Bands on the Live Music Archive
The Live Music Archive is a FREE archive of live recordings for bands from around the world. The Archive covers several "genres" of music. I've had a hand in getting a few bands interested in participating in the project but the first local band was A Whisper in the Noise back in 2006. Themes, Charlie Parr and Trampled By Turtles all have recordings available on the Archive as well.
Most recently Roma di Luna, Kill the Vultures and City on the Make have all joined the Archive. I submitted Abzorbr and Black Blondie earlier today.
Some of the recordings currently available for download are City on the Make's May 15th set from the Varsity Theater. Both sets from Roma di Luna's August 9th appearance at Hosmer Library are available as well. My friend Dean has uploaded his capture of Roma di Luna's June 14th CD Release at the Cedar here.
Bands that are pending include: Dragons Power Up, Nomia, Ill Chemistry, Humanboy, Mouthful of Bees and Empires.
Bands I still wantto ask include: Gospel Gossip, Fat Kid Wednesdays, Ela, Crescent Moon is in Big Trouble, Eyedea & Abilities, Face Candy, Brother Ali, Happy Apple, A Night in the Box, Enemy Entropist, Iced Ink, Pretty Boy Thorson & the Fallen Angels, Sarah Johnson, Story of the Sea, The Millionth Word, Portrait of a Drowned Man (Duluth) and others TBD...
Back when I was still content with just torrenting recordings some people were kind enough to upload a couple of recordings I did for non-Twin Cities bands. Hank III's set from First Avenue June 27th 2006 can be downloaded here. Cracker's set from First Avenue on August 30th 2006 can be downloaded here.
