Creston Spiers @ Creston’s House 6/7/08

These tracks are outtakes from the recording for Creston Spiers‘ Yesterday’s Parade/The Time Has Come 7″ I put out last year. The three Leonard Cohen covers were recorded with Creston on his living room couch playing an acoustic 12-string, live with no overdubs. I’ve left a couple false starts and chatter in the recording, just for fun.

Track 1 – Bird On A Wire
Track 2 – Lady Midnight
Track 3 – Stories Of The Street

Southern Shelter Record(s): Creston Spiers 7"( + 5/1/08)

admin — Mon, 23 Jun 2008 23:40:00 +0000

I’m excited to announce Southern Shelter Record(s) and our first (and only?) release, a 7″ vinyl single by Harvey Milk frontman Creston Spiers! I brought the Southern Shelter Mobile Recording Unit to Creston’s home in Athens recently and recorded two of his unreleased original songs. Side A is “Yesterday’s Parade”, written for the band A (who never made a release); it’s backed with “The Time Has Come”, written during Creston’s time drumming for Producto. These songs are drastically different from Creston’s Harvey Milk work. Both tracks have him backed only by acoustic 12-string (sitting on his couch!)

Chunklet will be handling internet orders exclusively for this very limited run (200 copies pressed on heavyweight clear vinyl, packaged in a durable “picture disc” sleeve). A limited number will be available at yet-to-be-announced Harvey Milk shows to take place following their European tour. A very small number will be placed with local record stores, but by far your best chance to get one is with the Chunklet pre-order. Records will ship mid-/late-July. I’ll post more details on the record store copies around that time.

Of course I have some free music to post in celebration. Creston played a happy hour Nuci’s Space benefit at Caledonia (during which I realized he’d be perfect for the record I wanted to do). Leonard Cohen is his favorite artist, so we got all Cohen tunes, save for the last number.
