My Gold Mask In the Studio

Gretta Rochelle and Jack Armondo of My Gold Mask are in Chicago’s Strobe studio working hard (as evidenced by Gretta’s 10-hour drum day exhausted expression) on a full-length release. The band has released a series of well-received EPs including last year’s A Millions Miles (From Where We Were Last) and A Thousand Voices which features “Violet Eyes”.

Exclusive Live Performance of Neko’s “Hold On, Hold On” Available 10/18

An exclusive new live performance of Neko’s “Hold On, Hold On” is available on the T Bone Presents The Speaking Clock Revue album, which is the Amazon MP3 “Daily Deal today for only $3.99!

In October 2010, T Bone Burnett organized a wonderful group of musicians, dubbed The Speaking Clock Revue, and joined with Participant Media for concerts benefiting arts education. The Speaking Clock Revue featured a house band made up of musicians from many T Bone-produced recordings, and led by music director and guitarist Marc Ribot. The resulting album contains 11 previously unreleased performances by Elton John and Leon Russell, Elvis Costello, John Mellencamp, Gregg Allman, Ralph Stanley, Jeff Bridges, Neko Case, Yim Yames, Punch Brothers, Karen Elson, and The Secret Sisters.

T Bone was inspired to do the fundraising concerts after attending an early screening of Participant’s documentary Waiting for Superman, from Academy Award®-winning filmmaker Davis Guggenheim (An Inconvenient Truth, It Might Get Loud), which focused on the troubled state of public education in the U.S., following a handful of promising students through a U.S. public school system and offering creative new approaches to education reform. Proceeds from the sale of the album benefit arts and music education in public schools.
