hello friends,
whew! whirlwinding days over here. let's catch up:

europe: gillian returned in mid-october from her five-week tour in europe with sharron kraus as their duo
rusalnaia. a heartsfull of thanks to all of you lovely brits, frenchies, belgians, anarchist swiss, and bright-bike-riding netherlanders for the shockingly good hospitality and support. many of the shows turned into full-scale rituals, spilling out into the cobblestoned streets. many a memory was made and mojo went rising everywhere. a return is already in the works...

cmj: one week after returning ex reverie played the cmj showcase for
language of stone. it was a veritable family reunion, los-style. a phenomenal night for all of our interwoven projects. we debuted several new songs in the leaner and meaner three-piece style. photos just added to the 'live' album, and here's a link to what the nymag had to say:
