New Near Myths News!

The big news, of course, is the upcoming Near Myths CD release party at R.A. Fountain General Store and Internet Cafe, Fountain, NC, Saturday, April 29, at 7:30 p.m. There's a possibility we might even sponsor a pig-picking earlier in the day, and make a day-long party of it. We'll keep you posted. At any rate, come see us! If you've never been to R.A. Fountain, it's a great old funky place. It's a big storefront in downtown Fountain, NC, that functions as a community center, coffee shop, bookstore, gallery, gift shop, performance space, internet cafe, museum, and who knows what else. The proprietor, Alex Albright, is one of the nicest, most interesting guys you'll ever meet. The Near Myths have been practicing steadily and performing occasionally since the release of WILSON (alas, without the help of Near Myths Ben & Bernadette Greene, who find it hard to swoop down from Vancouver Island, B.C., every time we have a gig). We're red hot! The cover charge is nominal, and well worth it! Here's the link to R.A. Fountain: http://www.rafountain.com On Saturday, April 1 (yes, April Fools Day, appropriately!), we will be playing at a new venue outside of Greensboro, NC, the Coffee and Cream House, 2544 Alamance Church Road. We'll be playing from 6:00 to 9:00 p.m. It'll be a very friendly, laid back affair. We're looking forward to it! Join us! Finally, the buzz is that The Near Myths (all six of them, or seven, including Phil) will once again convene in the legendary little eastern NC town of Wilson this summer to record a follow up disc to WILSON. We're so excited! We are negotiating to bring in a terrific drummer (Katy's son Matthew) to lighten the load on multi-instrumentalist Teep. We've all got more great songs in the bag, and at last count Ben had about 28. What can we say? If we didn't record again, and soon, he might explode. We've been debuting a couple of Andy's new songs live lately, "Salmon" and "Winter Dreams."
