Song of the Week 1/27/08

Last October 30 was pretty much the greatest night of music I've ever experienced. It was a little Halloween show at the Largo called "Eban Schletter's Witching Hour". It was basically a show he created of kooky Halloween chants, ghost stories and music that Eban Schletter wrote, with a bunch of cool special guests like Paul F Tompkins, Tom Kenny, and Kevin McDonald.


And just in case you're wondering, Eban Schletter wrote the music for Mr. Show and currently writes music for Spongebob Squarepants. You can read more about that stuff if you click here.


Anyhoos... Chris and I got to meet him around Christmastime at the Upright Citizens Brigade Theater. He was super nice and super happy that we liked his Witching Hour so much. He told us that a CD of it was in the works (YAY!) and that he would be doing the same show again February 2 because the turnout was good (YAY!). Chris - no joke - got reservations that same week and Largo didn't even have it on their website calendar until about 2 or 3 weeks ago! here's a flyer


Since I'm super excited I'm submitting "Devil Doll (feat. Paul F Tompkins)" as my first Song of the Week installment. It's super good.








PS- Feb. 2nd seems random but he said it coincides with another witch holiday. i just forgot the name.
