Well, well, well … Thanksgiving isn’t till tomorrow, but I have plenty to be thankful for: my new daughter, my wife, friends, my job. As of yesterday, you can add to that list a certain hotly anticipated new album from a certain local band that spent the past two years building buzz via brain-warping live shows all over town.
Yup, Empty Space Orchestra‘s upcoming album — scheduled for release next year — landed in my inbox on Tuesday, and I’ll be spending at least part of my holiday weekend checking it out. Obviously, you’ll be hearing more of it in the coming months, but for now, here’s a sneak peek at the song “Tennessee Red,” with footage of Shane Thomas and Lindsey Elias recording the track in California.
If you haven’t heard, Empty Space is playing an Ugly Sweater Jam on Friday night at MadHappy Lounge in downtown Bend. Yes, MadHappy Lounge, the former Bendistillery bar. It’s a room that’s way too small for ESO, both in terms of draw and sound. It’s gonna be loud in there.
The show starts at 10 p.m., and it’s free. And some folks are going to walk away from the show with a link to check out the new album. That’s a pretty sweet Thanksgiving treat.
