The following excerpt from an email circulated by Carla Kihlstedt last week:
"It is true, that the Sleepytime Gorilla Museum is indeed closing its doors for good
Our final shows are in San Diego, Los Angeles and two shows in San Francisco (3pm & 8pm) next week:
| 4/7 - San Diego, CA - Casbah (21+) - Purchase Tickets |
| 4/8 - Los Angeles, CA - Troubador (All Ages) - Purchase Tickets |
| 4/10 - San Francisco, CA - The Independent (21+) - Purchase Tickets - Two shows with two different sets, 3pm and 8pm |
If you are planning on coming, please come prepared to participate! Have a look at the following message from Sleepytime telling you how:
Dear Fans,
We want you to join us for our final shows. And we mean JOIN us, specifically in a racket of celebratory and funereal music making.
How it may include YOU:
SINGING: the melody to 'Bring Back the Apocalypse' (see the handy notation here).
PLUCKING: YOUR guitar in the precise manner indicated in this instructional video at the end of a new song that might be titled "Smear."
CHIMING: Herald the coming apocalypse by bringing your favorite collection of small hand bells (we're not kidding) or other such device to play us out. Under no circumstances are you allowed to bring a saxophone."
This is sad news for fans of one of the most progressive and entertaining groups of the last decade. I wish I had the chance to see them off. I really hope they release a dvd of some live performances so that those of us not privileged to see them in the flesh can enjoy the shows vicariously.
