Jay Funk Dawg Posted October 11, 2009 Report Share Posted October 11, 2009 Hey just checking out what The Barr brothers are up ton and I noticed they are back on the move this fall. Did anyone read that Marco Benevento has joined Surprise Me Mr. Davis side project... I just read it on their new myspace bio:Surprise Me Mr. Davis is an electro-folk band consisting of folksinger Nathan Moore, the members of avant-rock band The Slip and the newest member, dazzling pianist Marco Benevento. They formed in 2003 in Boston while Moore was visiting The Slip at their apartment and the Blizzard of 2003 hit. They were snowed in at the Barr brothers Mission Hill home for five days with a brand new stereo microphone and computer.This storm was the catalyst for a home recording session. In 2005 they ventured into the Breakglass Studio in Montreal to track some songs which were released in a limited edition on their Only In Montreal EP. The EP is a supercharged electro-folk record with many a tender moment. Only in Montreal EP. Check out new song Sissyfuss on myspace pages:http://www.myspace.com/surprisememrdavisBrad's guitar work is great on this new track - some of the band's best recording to date.I'm thinking of hitting up one of these dates of Suprise Me Mr Davis' Tour or the Slip at the end of November. Maybe also check out Phish on that same run.Surprise Me Mr Davis ShowsNov 14, 2009 Bear Creek Music Festival, LIVE OAK, FloridaNov 13, 2009Bear Creek Music Festival, LiVE OAK, FloridaNov 18, 2009Middle East Downstairs w/Land of Talk Cambridge, MassachusettsNov 19, 2009Club Metronome w/Land of Talk Burlington, VermontNov 20, 2009Iron Horse w/Land of TalkNorthampton, MassachusettsNov 21, 2009Mercury Lounge w/Land of Talk NYC, New YorkThe Slip's Upcoming showNov 28, 2009Lupo’s Heartbreak HotelProvidence, Rhode Island--PHISHNov 27, 2009Times Union CenterAlbany, New Yorkand The SLIP on Nov 28, 2009 sounds like a killer weekend in NY.

ReDD Posted October 12, 2009 Report Share Posted October 12, 2009 Can someone explain to me why SMMD and The Slip don't come to Ontario anymore? It's pretty obvious we LOVE them this way... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
