Piñataland plays at the Waterfront Books and Authors Festival

Come celebrate water and books! (It’s like the opposite of going to a book-burning.) Piñataland will be joining the Waterfront Books and Authors festival at Red Hook’s wonderful Waterfront Museum which takes place from Noon-4:00pm.

Featured authors and books:
Gabriel Cohen, The Ninth Step and The Graving Dock
Trevor Corson, The Story of Sushi, The Secret Life of Lobsters
Jessica DuLong, My River Chronicles: Discovering America on the Hudson
Ben Gibberd, NY Waters
William Kornblum, At Sea in the City: New York from the Water’s Edge
George Matteson, Tugboats of New York
John Waldman – Heartbeats in the Muck
Terry Walton, Harbor Voices
Nathan Ward, Dark Harbor: the War for the New York Waterfront

And Piñataland will pepper the event with a few sets of our water-themed numbers (of which we seem to have quite a few. Who knew?)

Pinataland on the Water

We’ll be performing at the Waterfront Books and Authors Festival this Saturday afternoon (June 26th) in Red Hook, Brooklyn. The fest looks like the great way to spend the day – relaxing on a barge, listening to writers and their intriguing insights into the history of cities and water, and listening to 2 sets of waterway-related tunes from us. We’ll be on at 1pm and 2:30, directions and info on the link above.

New Tyranny of Dave album now available

Dave’s new album chronicling the political and personal disasters of the Bush years is now available for free download over at http://tyrannyofdave.bandcamp.com so go and get it!

New t-shirts in production! Old DW album now free.

Hi everyone! Just a quick update on two things. One is that our new t-shirts are about ready to be printed. All of you who supported our kickstarter drive who pledged at the t-shirt level should get them soon…well, sometime early March probably.

Also, Dave’s old solo album, Vacations, has been rereleased under the new moniker, the Tyranny of Dave. If you have the old one, all that’s changed is the name on the cover. But now it’s free free free. Dave’s planning on having all Tyranny of Dave releases be free downloads. You can pick it up at http://tyrannyofdave.bandcamp.com and the site supports downloading the songs as mp3s or CD quality, lossless files. Also, it’s rereleased under a Creative Commons license, which means, go ahead, play it, share it, burn it, sell it to someone else. Whatever you feel you need to do, go ahead.
