Bits: A Place to Bury Strangers, Hell and Half of Georgia, Clean Hands, The Low Anthem, Drive-By Truckers

  • A Place to Bury Strangers had their van stolen in Rome. Here’s some info from their Facebook: “Looks like we had over 15K in merch money and belongings stolen from the van. Add in the cancelled shows, the excess van rental charges and we have been pummeled financially. We’ve set up a paypal donation link if any of you feel like helping us replace the belongings of our crew. We hesitate to do this but feel horrible about what happened to everyone’s things:” If you can, donate here.
  • In better news, our friends in Hell and Half of Georgia will be playing a gig on December 11 in Lake Forest, California.
  • Nick Berg of Conrad Plymouth has released an EP with his band Clean Hands. We’re digging it. D/L it here.
  • You can download “Ghost Woman Blues” from the forthcoming Low Anthem album on their site and check up on their 2011 tour dates.
  • And if you don’t have enough downloads today, Drive-By Truckers have made an mp3 of their awesome song “Used to be a Cop” available on their site.

Bit: Bobby Bare, Jr.

Obviously, I love me some music. And I love me some music documentaries. I’ll even watch docs about bands I don’t really dig because I find the behind-the-scenes peeks and the glimpses into the more mundane aspects of the lives of musicians so interesting.

So, how much more entertaining would a music doc be if it was about a character like Bobby Bare, Jr.? Well, you’ll get to find out as this doc – currently called The Untitled Bobby Bare Jr. Documentary – is being made now, and NTSIB is teaming up with the filmmakers to bring you information and updates on the project.

For REEL!
The Untitled Bobby Bare Jr Documentary is in production!
Lots of new and updates on the film are coming soon!
