New dates for a short tour of Autonomous Social Centres, Alternative Spaces, and Anarchist Bookstores in support of Nelson Laguna Ross's spoken word/open dialogue as he promotes his new book Sun, Fun and Slavery: How the South Became the North's Playground (Exile Press) in March, and a reunion with Philladelphia/Brooklyn band Normal Love will welcome April for us. More shows to come. Recordings are gaining ground. Soon we'll be standing behind them, encouraging them to go forth and plough the untended field.

Kingdom Shore recently finished an anxiety ridden and white knuckled reclaiming of the 1925 version of Rupert Julian's PHANTOM OF THE OPERA for which we had feverishly written a full original score of music and sound design for. This was performed live to accompany the film at the glorious Mayfair Cinema in Ottawa on Friday, October 16th, at 7pm.

Kingdom Shore has recently performed at the Opening of Marysol Foucault's exhibition Barely There at the Wurm Gallery/Invisible Cinema in Ottawa. Please check out her work - here. If you are in the area, please support the Invisible Cinema with your patronage. We are lucky to have this establishment in our city.

The exhibit curated by Sophie Bélair Clément, entitled Le son du projecteur will be travelling to continental Europe soon. Therein is a video piece with accompanying music by Kingdom Shore. The film, Nightfall, by Bas Jan Ader (1971, 4 min 16s, noir et blanc, muet, film 16mm) has been transfered to digital and has been slowed down from its original duration to run for 44 min 21s. Kingom Shore took on the task of interpreting the sound of the projection, and has provided an accompanying piece that runs with this in the space. More info. as this touches down. In the meantime, the previous presentation of this at Optica can be found here.

Martin Dupuis's exhibit of whales, intestinal operations, table-top illustrations, and magnificent and careening morphine induced hallucinations, entitled Feed Me, for which we were lucky enough to provide some music, was held at the Warren G. Flowers gallery at Dawson College in Montreal. More info on the exhibit, including examples of the work, and photos of the pageantry, can be seen here. Our contribution, clocking in at 76 minutes, and running on an endless loop, is a piece for 3 double-basses and 4 cellos.

Still caramelizing on the burner is the Exodus 7" - featuring the full band, with a b-side Etching, and packaged in an artisan designed, bound, gatefold casing made from recycled material. ________ Mastered by Harris Newman at Grey Market Mastering.

In the meantime, here is hand-held audience recording of Kingdom Shore made by one of our heroes, JFBlanchette/Sinequanon (buy his music here), live at the AvantGarde Bar on December 8th of 2007,- _______________- Remove This Doubt -
