Brassland recording artists Clogs will launch their spring tour tonight in New York city with a very special two night run at The Kitchen, which will also feature an art installation from acclaimed artist Karl Jensen (see photo above). The Kitchen is an amazing venue — originally designed for dance events, it is a large room with amazing acoustics and a very intimate feel (capacity is only 120). To top it all off, Clogs will be joined by two of the best female singer-songwriters in New York, Shara Worden (of My Brightest Diamond) and Diane Cluck (Voodoo-EROS). Clogs will also join both Worden and Cluck for portions of their sets. Continuing in the spirit of collaboration, Clogs will join The Books on the road in San Diego for a few West Coast shows where Clogs will perform an opening set as a duo, with Paul and Nick from The Books adding their own flourishes to the set, and then will also perform with The Books to flesh out their live sound for their set. May will find the group sharing the stage with two other like-minded groups, Bell Orchestre and Rachel’s.
