Sunken Treasure Records, an extension of donewaiting.com, is releasing the debut album by Bird and Flower in May/June 2009. There’s all sorts of activity before that, though.
Let’s see if we can list it all.
– New website created by GoLampo
– Bird and Flower now on Twitter
– Facebook, too.
Brand spanking new video written and directed by Sam Craighead and filmed by Paul Rentler.
(Name all the cameos in the video and Eve will surely give you a Charm’s Ring Pop.)
Bird and Flower’s first ever tour with Jordan O’Jordan:
March 27th – Surly Girl, 10pm, free! Columbus OH
March 28th – The Pretty People Pad in Dayton (1842 Wayne Ave.) with State School, 8 pm
March 29th – Tiny Core House in Urbana, IL (511 W. California)
March 30th – The Ball Hall in Chicago, IL (www.myspace.com/ballhallchicago 1621 N Kedzie 3, Chicago, IL 60647), 8pm
March 31th – Jordan’s dear friend Liz’s house in Ann Arbor (436 S. First St.), 7:30pm
Sunken Treasure Records is our small companion record label to donewaiting.com. We’ve released a bunch of albums over the course of the last few years, and we’ve decided to make all of them available as a free download for the rest of December. Click here to see what we got and get downloading. You’ll find the latest releases from Megan Palmer, Miranda Sound, Eric Metronome, and The Evil Queens as well as the first album by The Celebrity Pilots.
We’ve also announced our next releases for 2009. ur first release next year will be a split seven inch vinyl release featuring Columbus’ The Black Swans and Brooklyn’s Alina Simone. Both songs are beautiful and heartbreaking, and you’ll surely want it in your collection. Expect that in the Feb/March timeframe.
We also plan to work with Eve Searls, aka Bird and Flower, on the release of her debut album. I’ve been a fan of Eve since she first popped up on the scene and her first effort is fabulous. This will happen sometime in April/May (which will be here before you know it…)
More to come, including some Megan Palmer vinyl, and maybe a few more tricks up our sleeves. Happy holidays!

MP3: Shake
The Black Swans’ Jerry DeCicca is never hesitant to divulge his inspirations – Leonard Cohen, Townes Van Zandt, Bert Jansch – hell the guy’s writing a book on Dylan. But as far as songwriters go he’s much more concerned with carving his own slice into the American experience, much more concerned with creating his own classic American enigma like Blood on the Tracks through tireless dedication to craft and execution, rather than learning how to do so through stoned replays of his favorite records. His seclusion from modernity and wholly original voice are what sets him apart. It might just take decades to decode such a puzzle.
With Change! DeCicca no longer walks in darkness, it’s not exactly a blinding beacon of light but it could be the first rays of sun peering in between the curtains of an apartment that contained a long night of wallowing. Change! is achingly beautiful in every way, wounded but resilient. There is still longing and desperation (and still some sex on the brain – see “Slide on Down”), but hope slowly boils in the fold.
