Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!

From everyone at Eclectone, Happy Thanksgiving. We're thankful for everyone we've played with and for over the years. Take care, see ya soon!

"Of Mind and Matter"

The digital album is in Twin Cities record stores now! Look for it on iTunes soon! This is an experiment for Eclectone. The album is only available as a limited art print download card that gets you the whole album plus extra video and picture content. What we want to know is, what do you think? Do you miss the cd? Should we look into doing vinyl (this of course, is a cost concern)? Do you like the "going green" route? It by no means marks the end of cds on Eclectone, it just worked out this way this time. Please weigh in and let us know. Email martin@eclectone.com and info@eclectone.com or join our Facebook group and go to the discussion board.

Thanks!

The Get-Rites Get Write-Ups

Eclectone's latest -- Tin Roof Sky by The Get-Rites -- is a co-release with Magnolia Recording Co.

The album hit No. 21 this month on the Americana Charts in Europe. Here's what people are saying:

"Rich music mined from the depths of Americana. Feldmann’s probing lyrics and yearning growl will echo in your soul and lift you up." - Ben Kieffer, Iowa Public Radio

"There's a certain Midwestern feel on The Get-Rites album,Tin Roof Sky, intended as it may be, that captures the listener with a feeling of comfort and reflectiveness." - Phantom Tollbooth CD Review, Terry Roland

"It's a wonderful CD...Good songs, production too....Very Inspired...Very personal." - Jacques Spiry, reviewer/promoter, France

"A very excellent and inspirational album." - Eddie Russell, Country Eastern/Outlaw For Peace Radio Show

"A fantastic roots/country-rock album with the influences of spiritual music and a touch of the great names such as The Byrds,Poco and even Pearl Jam." - Sjaak Sekeris, A shake of Music, The Netherlands

"Frontman Tom Feldmann's gritty ballads are dramatically spiked with desperate spirituality, and he found an ace pedal-steel player in Jed Germond." - Chris Riemenschneider, Star Tribune, Minneapolis/St. Paul

"A Minneapolis trio who write some of the most authentic, moving americana gospel I’ve ever heard. Group leader Tom Feldman has a heart for his savior, and the group’s musicianship would make both Johnny Cash and John Lee Hooker proud." - Greg Swan, Perfect Porridge

"Tin Roof Sky is a journey through the barren West, where tumbleweeds roll and a caravan of preachers and sideshow musicians are saving souls." - Adam Hammer, St. Cloud Times, MN

Dan Israel opens for Loudon Wainwright III!

Monday, November 17 at the Guthrie Theater.

Little Man release a success!

Thanks to everyone who came out to the Entry last Saturday for the Little Man release show. Look for the band in the First Ave. mainroom opening for the Ike Reilly Assassination on Thanksgiving Eve. Chris will also be joining Ike's band that night as a guitarist!

Little Man album release party Saturday

Saturday. November 8. 7th St. Entry. Little Man and Eclectone Records celebrate the release of "Of Mind and Matter." Come early for The Strange Lights and High On Stress.

Says Chris Perricelli: "It's going to be a very unique show. The new album, Of Mind And Matter, will be played in its entirety with back up singers, keyboards and rhythm guitar included. You'll hear many songs that will only be heard live at this particular show."
