You may have noticed that we haven't been doing a whole lot as the Weather Duo lately. We've been focusing heavily on other projects. Don't worry, we have a lot of ideas in the works--a large-scale video project is slated for March. In the meantime, we're playing as the backing band for the marvelous singer/songwriter Anna Vogelzang for her album release tour. 

We've also just recorded an album with our sister band, Lovely Socialite Mrs. Thomas W. Phipps, and we're very excited about it.

Also, there are only 9 days left to donate to the Project Lodge kickstarter! The Project Lodge is a great arts space in Madison, and they have been host to us many, many times, so we'd appreciate your support as they try to stay alive!

Here are some videos from our performances in Virginia last week:

See you on Wednesday, everyone! This is our first show without Anna, and we've been working on all new material. Plus, there are some real electroacoustic heavyweights in this one, so it'll be quite the ride!

This Thursday, Sept. 8th, is your last chance to see the Weather Duo perform with our video sorceress in Madison for at least a year!

7:30pm Audio for the Arts (7. S. Blair St.)
With the lovely Slow Skate from Seattle, and our dear friends bell monks.
$5

Don't miss this one!

Check out this remix of material from our album, done by electronic musician Contemplating Cogitation:

This track is available for download with the media dropcards that we sell at shows, so come get one!

Next opportunity: this Thursday at Monk's Kaffee Pub in Dubuque. 9pm, see you there!

Exciting news! Our album, From Field to Platter, is now available at the Mine All Mine online store. You can buy it from anywhere now!

The shows yesterday were really great! It was pretty exciting to play in the beautiful Grace Episcopal Church in the morning with Classical Revolution. The show at THORPS was a stellar hang, and we were introduced to the music of Chants, which we highly recommend checking out. Last we heard, they'd raised over $1000 to benefit the Underground Foods Collective, whose restaurant was severely damaged by the Webster Street fire.

We have a couple more performances in the next week where we'd really like to see you:

Wednesday, July 13th: Project Lodge, 7:30p, $6
817 E. Johnson St. Madison

With a really cool band from Indianapolis, Slothpop. We really dig the sound of their new album,  and this will undoubtedly be a great show. Adding to the greatness will be the solo project of Thomas Wincek (of All Tiny Creatures, Volcano Choir fame), who will be performing some guitar/electronics awesomeness.

Sunday, July 17th: Dobrá Tea  6 - 9 pm  No Cover!
449 State St., Madison

We will be trading off performances with the inimitable Brothers Grimm, who play compositions and improvisations in many styles on many string instruments. This performance is following the crazyness of Maxwell St. Days on State Street, so this is a great opportunity to come get some tea and enjoy life a bit with live music.

We'll be performing acoustic works.

This Saturday, July 9th, we will be playing TWICE!

11:30 AM -- We'll be playing in a program coordinated by Madison's Classical Revolution at Grace Church, 116 W. Washington Ave.
                        The theme of the program is Sound Painting: Music and Art, and will include pieces that tie visual art and music.

8:00 PM -- There was a fire on June 30th on Mifflin St. that damaged the Capitol Hills apartment building and also the local foodsmiths      
                      the Underground Kitchen. This benefit concert will feature us and Thomas Wincek of All Tiny Creatures. [EDIT: Thomas                                 unfortunately couldn't play, and instead the stellar Chants performed.] This show is a            
                      THORPS, 1988 Atwood Ave. Come out to support fellow Madisonians!

Jazari uses his demon-horned controller to command an army of percussion-playing robots that he's built. We are really psyched for this show.

He recently gave a presentation on "Cyborg Musicality" at the TEDx Conference.

Our friend Asumaya is also playing, who is always stellar.

FRIDAY, JUNE 24, 7:30pm
PROJECT LODGE, 817 E. Johnson St.
Join us!

Here's the facebook event.

We are really excited to announce that our album, From Field to Platter, will be available at the end of this week.

For the first month or so, the album will only be available from us directly, either at our shows or through emailing weatherduomusic@gmail.com. So come to our shows!

As a companion to the album, we have download cards that will give you access to several of Anna's videos, as well as 2 bonus tracks, and wallpaper art.

These download cards will be available at the show tonight with Nash Smith and Ganges and bell monks at the Project Lodge. See you there!
