New Wino music!

September 7, 2010

Why doesn’t anyone tell me this stuff??? Wino has a ton of projects going on, but I hear about them in drips and drabs. So I’ve collected what I can find and put it all in one place: here.

Saint Vitus

Some were fortunate enough to catch the reunited Wino-era lineup live this year. Material from these shows will appear on the band’s next release, a colored vinyl 7″ on Volcom Entertainment Vinyl Club (an old-school-style singles club). See story here and ordering info here.

Shrinebuilder

Shrinebuilder tour the EU for three weeks in November. See dates here, and my review of their first show here. If they were that good then, they’re probably unstoppable now.

Wino electric

Roadburn has put out a CD of Wino’s set at the festival last year. His band had Jon Blank (RIP) on bass and Clutch’s Jean-Paul Gaster on drums. The CD packaging is pretty, and you can hear the cookin’ first track below. (Gaster sounds fantastic.) See details here and ordering info here. At the moment, it’s out in Europe only, but Amazon US lists an import release date of September 21. Vinyl will come later this year.

Wino acoustic

This is the big story for me. Exile on Mainstream, a German label, is putting out Wino’s new acoustic album, Adrift. It had better make it over here to North America! The European release date looks like it’s October 13 (pre-order CD and LP here), but a special tour edition in a wooden box (limited to 200) is already available here (see larger photo here). And there’s already a review up here! I love the one song, “Hold On Love”, that the label graciously offered to us to stream. You can hear it below. Even on acoustic guitar, Wino brings the power of the riff.

Wino live

Wino just started a six-week EU tour for his solo acoustic act. Drone act Darsombra (whom I highly recommend) and Conny Ochs support. Below are the dates. “Premonition” is Wino’s new jam band, which includes Darsombra’s Brian Daniloski on bass. (See story here). I haven’t seen these dates posted much, which is a shame, since Darsombra and solo Wino sets would make for a great evening. If you can attend, you’re in for a treat.
