We had a great Anomoanon show at the Metro Gallery in Baltimore, with Aram, Jack, Dave Heumann and Walker Teret.

And now...
JUNE 14, Louisville, KY, Zanzabar
We will have another Anomoanon quorum, with Jack, Ned and Willy Maclean, and Aram Stith plus guests including Paul Oldham and Amber Luna--Lucky Eyes--at Zanzabar.  Willy MacLean's surf-prog trio FlySwatters opens.

This is going to be a fun rock show!

7 June 2012--Ned Oldham & Old Calf at the Whiskey Jar FREE

It's been awhile.  This show will be fun, with Ned on electric guitar ("telecaster" and amp courtesy of Stovall Amplification), Michael Clem on electric bass, Brian Caputo on drums, and Matty utilizing several secret weapons.  That are electric.  It's an electric band.  Everyone sings!  Show is free, starts at 10:30pm at the Whiskey Jar on the mall in Charlottesville.

Saturday 11 May 2013: Darker Anomoanon

Very excited for the Baltimore premiere of I Used to Be Darker at 8pm on Saturday 11 May at the Charles Theater in Baltimore as part of the Maryland Film Festival.

Equally excited for the afterparty at the Metro Gallery, just down the block from the Charles, as it will bring Aram Stith, Jack Carneal and me together for the first time since 2008, constituting an Anomoanon quorum.  We will play several songs as a trio, and then be joined by long-time Ano-auxiliaries Dave Heumann and Walker Teret.  Also on the bill are Kim Taylor and Guy Blakeslee and the Entrance Band.  Interplay is expected.  Doors are at 9pm, music starts sometime after 10pm.

I Used to be Darker at CPH PIX 17 April 2013, or Man am I a terrible blogger

Man, I am a terrible blogger.  I didn't blog about the world premiere of I Used to be Darker at Sundance, or the international premiere at Berlinale, both of which also featured musical performances with Kim Taylor and, in Utah, Jack Carneal.  And here I am, only a day before I depart for Copenhagen, finally getting around to posting about going to the CPH PIX festival to present I Used to be Darker and perform, again with Kim Taylor.  I hope I will be more diligent about posting for the Maryland Film Festival in May.  People have been saying nice things about the film.  I think it turned out really well.

3 December 2012 Ned at the Southern opening for Richard Buckner

Monday, December 3, 2012.  I'll be playing solo.  Doors are at 7, and I'll be on at 8.
The Southern is a nice place on the downtown mall in Charlottesville, VA.
It has a nice soundsystem.
You should be able to hear very well.
Please pass the word.  Please come!

More exciting news about the premiere of the film I Used to be Darker tomorrow.

Old Calf at Blue Ridge Swim Club Father's Day 17 June 2012 at 6pm

Old Calf will play at the amazing Blue Ridge Swim Club on Father's Day 2012: Sunday, June 17.  If you've never been out to this 100-year-old, 100-yard long, spring-fed pool in Ivy, you're really missing something unique.  You definitely haven't seen Old Calf in a while, as we haven't played a show since I don't remember when, and I'm not sure when we'll play again, though I hope it won't be as long as this last wait.  

The show is free for members and $10 for non-member adults, and $5 for non-member kids.  This is the second year that BRSC has been putting on Sunday evening shows as a perk for members and to attract potential new members; they have a limited number of memberships available, and last year they sold out before Summer's end.
