In November Dege did a two week tour of the Netherlands and Belgium. Good shows. Good people. Cranked out a lot of tunes. First time over there solo, doing Brother Dege stuff.
He's still working on the new recording and is about 65% finished doing tracking for the follow up to Folk Songs of the American Longhair. He indicates that it's coming along nicely. "It's the next evolution. Dual-interweaving slide lines, slamming barn barners, strong, air-tight songs and whatever else he think up. All I can say is this album will be like going for a ride in a time machine and pressing forward & reverse at the same time. It'll tug you a lot of different ways. But the main way it'll pull you is in/out."
Sounds cool!!
Dege indicates that all of his videos on YouTube are fairly low maintenance, guerrilla affairs, shot live to maximize vibe and avoid cheese, but a Louisiana-based filmmaker named Brian C. Miller Richard just finished up a 5-day video shoot for his song "Black is the Night." Should be out in early 2012. Pro-shot in HD, this thing is like a mini-movie of sorts with various locations, actors, and a lot of dark is the night type imagery and vibe. I'm really looking forward to seeing that!
He got offered to play the New Orleans 2012 Jazz Fest this year in May. That should be cool.
He reports that he's just living the dream, keeping a low center a gravity, working in a homeless shelter, and trying to treat his fellow humanoids right.
He sent along some in-studio footage of himself that was shot be a buddy of his, while he was tuning up and checking the mics. This is shown here:
