Don’t Look Back Now - a film premiere!
ONE NIGHT ONLY! A FILM PREMIERE!
We are very proud to announce the premiere of DON'T LOOK BACK NOW on Thursday 4th February at 8pm EST. Put that in your calendar. And smoke it. And join us!
Filmed at Union Hall, Brooklyn on Oct 27, 2008, the movie features seventeen songs, on which I am accompanied by Robert Lloyd and Chris von Sneidern with invaluable assistance from Deni Bonet and Josh Ritter.
This streaming premiere, which will be on my YouTube channel, Wesley Stace Presents - and for which we will announce the specific URL as soon as we know it - is entirely free to you. Not only that but I will be on hand, with Robert and Chris, to discuss what we're seeing - in their case, mostly for the first time - and to answer any pertinent questions you may have.
The film will then disappear from YouTube entirely: one showing only!
NOTE: to participate in the YouTube chat during the première, you'll need a YouTube account. However, you can watch the movie whether you have an account or not.
DON'T LOOK BACK NOW is the first ever concert film of me actually singing my own songs. Twelve of the songs were previously released on the bonus CD that came with Who Was Changed and Who Was Dead. On 2/5 - which happens to be the next Bandcamp Friday - that album, now the soundtrack to this film, will go on sale at Bandcamp, along with the five bonus tracks included in Don't Look Back Now. With purchase of the album, a mere $10, you will also get a free download of the highest resolution version of the movie. So it's either a 17 song live album with a free movie, or a movie with 12 songs on a CD you already had, but five you didn't. Think of it how you like.
