May update
Posted on May 5, 2008
Greetings!
Just a quick May update to let you in on what we’re up to and where you can catch Beltaine’s Fire this month:
But, before we get there, a big congratulations goes out to our drummer Todd and his wife on the arrival of their first child. They had a healthy baby girl May 2nd whom we’re sure will grow up to be just as cool as her parents. Yay!
As for the shows: This month there are three notable opportunities to see us live;
Saturday May 10th we’ll be at the Berkeley Pagan Festival in.. yes.. Berkley. The event gets going at 10am and is an all day FREE event put on by the Pagan alliance. It will be happening in Civic center park at 2151 Martin Luther King jr near the downtown Berkley bart station. Further info and details can be found at http://thepaganalliance.org
Saturday May 17 We’ll be playing the new artists showcase at the Livermore Scottish Highland Games, 1100 Arroyo Rd, Robertson Park, Livermore, CA. Tickets and all the details are available at http://www.livermoregames.com Come out. Wear your kilt. Lynx sure will be wearing his.
Monday May 26th at the Black Cat Bar & Grill in beautiful Pengrove, CA. We’ll be playing a double set, starting at 9pm. A good way to spend a memorial day. This is our first Pengrove show.
In other news, we finally got around to sorting through the video files from our last couple of shows this weekend, and just posted a new one for “Desert Sunrise.” You can catch it in our “Video” section. Also there are a bunch of new pictures in the albums. Also, we had a Beltaine celebration on May 1st. It was great.

March
Posted on March 13, 2008
what’s up kinfolk?
it’s a brand new month so here we are again. first thing this month is that Laura has officially released her first solo album, Less the Relevance, and it’s available for purchase from her website: dazedangel.com
as far as new stuff with the band -
we’ll be out in Richmond this Saturday the 15th with Direct Action to Stop the War, performing at a rally there against the Chevron oil refinery and the war in Iraq. The refinery there is notorious for the cancer and asthma causing pollution it spews all over the place and for importing tons of crude oil looted from iraq. how unpopular is the refinery you ask? so unpopular that the mayor of richmond is giving the opening speech at the rally. we’re not used to sharing the stage with politicians, it’s going to be a new experience for us… later in the day there will be a large ‘mass non-violent direct action’ at the refinery itself, basically an attempt to pile enough bodies into the gates to form a human wall, blockade the gates preventing trucks carrying oil or gas from going in or out, and stopping the refinery from being able to operate for a few hours at least. a symbolic victory to be sure, but a victory no less if they can pull it off. good times!
Sunday the 16th, of course, we’ll be in the studio all day recording for our new album. also good times.
Monday the 17th we’ll be playing a free live set at the Expressions College for Digital Music in Emmeryville, the whole thing will be recorded live (both sound and video) and webcast live. You’ll be able to watch the show live from anywhere in the world at this url: http://mediasource.expression.edu/liveCast.htm, starting at 9pm pacific standard time. And, of course, if you’re in the bay area and want to be in our live webcast and in any music videos we decide to cut the video footage from this into - or just want to hang out with us at a cool free show in a unique venue - come on out! Expressions is located at 6601 Shellmound St, Emmerville, CA. There’s only room for 40 in the theater so send us an email ahead of time and we’ll put you on the list.
Saturday the 29th we’ll be playing a (free!) live show at the bistro in Hayward. (1001 B. Street, Hayward, CA) starting at 9pm. We love the bistro because they let us throw shows there for free and pay us out of the bar so we can make money to put towards our albums and other projects and not have to charge ya’ll at the door. If only more venues were so cool….
Other events going on in the bay area this month that you might be interested in include the SF Irish Fest , the SF Bay Area Celtic Fest, and the 13th annual SF anarchist Bookfaire. check their websites for more info.
have a great month, and happy st. pat’s day -
