Well since the last entry we also had a big hurricane  in fact most of the east coast did. We all went running around to get batteries which were sold out,candels and h2o.I've got my go bag together do you? Then came the ten year aniverrsary of 9/11. Paul Simon sang at ground zero "The sound of silence" and it was a perfect song.It's like no words could say what was being felt "no one dared" to interupt the sound of silence. 10 years ago Lone Vein recorded New York Blues this was our tribute to the city which we love so much and now we have just completed a video.Its hand made old school animation. I just loaded it today on you tube so please check it out and let us know what you think.I'm working on my computer skills....so soon i will put the films and live footage on the web site.

Storms on the outside

storms on the inside

sept has always had a rebirth feeling

but a feeling of saddness as well

cats howl

birds cry

eggs crack

like this cracking earth

shit i want a revolution

but one with out pain

let it come from pleasure

with white light from the angels

and let it shine shine shine.

 

Oh yeah the next show at The Delancey we will celebrate Eddy-Jo's birthday so come party!

 

till next time peace, plain jane

WAS YOUR HOUSE SHAKING

THE LIGHTS BREAKING

THE EGGS SCRAMBLED

THE CARDS DIDN'T WANT TO TALK ABOUT IT

UP AND DOWN THE EAST COAST

EVERYBODY KNOWS

THE THUNDER CAME 10 BEATS BEHIND

THE SIRENS WAILED 5 AT A TIME

THE MIME SAID FUCK IT AND WENT HOME WITH JUST A DIME

THE WILD EYES CRIED DOOMSDAY! DOOMSDAY ITS TIME!

THE GANGSTERS WONDERED IF THERE WAS AN EASY CRIME

IN ALL THE CHAOS

IN ALL THE CONFUSION

IN ALL THE EYES OPENED WIDE

MOTHER EARTH WAS JUST STRETCHING

SHE WAS DOING SOME YOGA

AND CRACK DOWN THE CENTER OF THE ROAD

SHE SAYS LISTEN THIS WAS NOTHING

THERES ALOT MORE TO COME.

Well before we entered the new year we played the 2007 Terror Film Festival in Philadelphia in November to a super enthusiastic crowd of fellow Ghoulies...Philly Rocks!!! You can see footage of the performances on our MySpace profile: http://www.myspace.com/lonevein

We entered the new year with the goal of finishiung up our new CD titled "Murder of Crows" which we're working on with our other partner-in-crime, Dave Strahl. We should be done with this great undertaking later this Spring...keep an eye and ear out for it!!

Hey, we were guests on: http://www.bounceradio.net/index.php "The James & Brian's Leftovers Show" on Tuesday 3/18. We were interviewed and they spinned a couple of our toones. Very cool, those cats put a GREAT show together...check 'em out! You can hear the interview on their archives at: http://leftovers.mypodcast.com/index.html

We have a couple of our "gloom-toones" featured in the new indie-movie "Hell's Gate" ...Go to: http://hellsgatemovie.com

The Lone Vein Duo just recently performed in conjunction with the Urban Visionaries "Outsider" Art Exhibition (featuring works from Pure Vision Arts, Kunst & Viegwerk and Atelier Herenplaats Studios) at the Van Der Plas Gallery @ 89 South St. We had the pleasure of performing amongst some of the most inspiring and unique outside artists from the U.S. as well as Holland and France. It was a great honor and enjoyable experience to share our music with these incredibly talented and special individuals.

nov 2006
We just got back from Calif.
and the highlight of the trip was playing in Joshua
Tree Desert. Just us in our skeleton attire and the rocks, sand, trees,sky,sun
and the Gods.I truley felt
the lizard king smiling down
upon us.We did document it on video and will be putting it on our myspace page soon so check it out!

NEWS FLASH-EVER SINCE EVIL EDDY GOT STRUCK BY LIGHTING A FEW YEARS BACK, HE IS ALWAYS SETTING OFF SOME TECHINCAL DEVICE . LAST NITE AFTER A 9 HOUR MIX DOWN FOR OUR NEW C.D."MURDER OF CROWS"
HE TRIPPED THE ALARM AT CITYBANK SO THERE IN THE V.W. BUG WERE BONNIE AND CLYDE OF THE LOWER EAST-SIDE WITH 5 COPS (nypd) AROUND US.
NO FOLKS WE'RE NOT ROBBING BANKS JUST YET.
BUT SOON ENOUGH EDDY'S GONNA TAP INTO SOME
PARALLEL UNIVERSE AND
THE POLTERGEISTS ARE GONNA BE SWIRLING.
PEACE TO ALL
PLAIN JANE

Hey People,
Just a page to say thanks
for comming to the shows.
Check out the journals on
the calendar page for other entries. We really want you guys to send us
photos,poems and art work
that you think would go well with the site!!!
BTW
Eddy and Jane are in cahoots
in a new incarnation that
will be more country fried
southern goth side. Stay tuned for more info on that.They play as
"The Tragic Relief"

Listen to the cry of the dinosaur, the analog freak that still has a turntable without being a d.j.
Listen to the circle of sound, circle of song from us to you connected by machines. Take the machine and use it as a magical tool Here we conjure, invoke and banish.
Our landscape is of: dirty trolls, veiled widows, and jack-o’-lantern children grinning wide while Singing somecreepy nursery
rhyme. We are rebellious like punk rock but deeply rooted in blues.
MIDNIGHT BLUES; seedy, with a Carneylike sensibility of dilapidated Ferris wheels and x-rated
Cowboys roaming 42nd street. TOMBSTONE BLUES; songs pregnant with death, sung for the vampires Who get their ambition at dusk and crawl underground atdawn.
INTERGALATIC BLUES: Androgynous Almond eyed scatting cats speaking in tongues. Since rock-n-roll saved our lives time and time again, our Guardian angel is one who plays electric guitar his sonata is one of glitter, grit and spit. His tattered wings
Are full of holes from dropping cigarettes on them. He’s manic like a raven high on speedball looking like A winged Keith Richards…NEW YORK BLUES: Still the skyline gets decked out everynight
In her evening gown mixing her tears with champagne and the rain. The rains here are full of sorrow.
Feathers from her boa float down the Hudson river like little boats of memory. On the otherside of town You can hear the murder ballad of the bones in the East river, the notes drifting down south to some juke joint with Paneling on the walls and a Christmas tree in the corner blinking its eyes directing you down the Southern Highway full of mojo, magic, voodoo and omens. This is our sound ….This is our world.
WELCOME TO IT-BRAIN TO BRAIN -VEIN TO VEIN.

Hey, so it's a new year and
we've got a new web site.
We look forward to having more direct communication
with those of you interested in the band.Some highlights for 2005 were the howl parade where we were the skeleton band.Anyone have photos? The halloween party show again at SIDEWALK where we were the dead.
And eddy and myself saw bauhaus at the noika theatre. WOW!! WHAT A SHOW.We have been in the studio all year working on our new c.d."a murder of crows" with David Strahl producing. On this c.d.
we got to experiment more (like singing out in the hall of the studio to get big reverbs).It should be finished in the spring
so be on the look out. This year we hope to hear and share more work with
all you out in cyber space
One plan we have is for a more regular theatre type
show on st. marks place.
We hope for peace this year and hope to create
more Evil music.
