Greg Weeks - The Hive [2008]



To purchase any past or present Greg Weeks or related titles please venture to Greg's Language of Stone label site: www.languageofstone.com


For European booking please contact: Isla at Toutpartout (isla@toutpartout.be)


Returning visitors may have noticed the profile makeover (har har). My new pic is the cover panel from my forthcoming record "The Hive." The record will find release in Europe on Wichita in late October (with a month long support tour in November) and will become available here in North America in February on Language of Stone.


Joining me on tour in November will be Festival, who, along with Wooly Mar, will make up my touring band. Excitement abounds!


Please take a moment to check out the online residence of the record label I run, Language of Stone. If you like my stuff there's a very strong chance you will like a lot of the artists I release. I should also mention that all items in my back catalog are available for purchase there: www.languageofstone.com


All prior band/artist information is now irrelevent. You need only know this:

1. Stones give and receive energy.
2. The great Giza pyramid was really a power plant.
3. Liver stones are occluding your bile ducts.
4. Greg Weeks is also an Esper, and a Grass, and a The Valerie Project, and a La Secta.

“In the depth of a swelling seashell, hear the voice of ancient Rose Gala.
The current here is very numb, not calm but a very quiet subsequence.
We meet there again and again throughout this Espvall's kindle.
Far over sombrous Zoroastrian mount how you recognize your limen
to get back there?
Now listen.”
