The Mahadev debut album has finally arrived and looks/sounds fantastic! I'll let bandleader and guitarist give you the details in the following press release:
"Ok it is almost here! We're getting ready to perform for you on next Sunday at Alva's. The CD's should be arriving to my house today, we had an awesome gig Saturday as a warmup for this coming sunday, and we're ready to go.
The show is $15. Remember, it's an early show (4 PM), so you'll be able to get back home in time for the Oscars, and we're offering the CD for JUST $5! It will be the only time you can get it so cheap.
You can hear a few tracks at http://soundcloud.com/davecipriani/sets/mahadev-tracks-1
We'll be posting it on Bandcamp later in the week and it will be available to purchase directly from us for those who can't make it this Sunday.
We're going to do all the songs from the CD, and we have awesome trumpet player Greg Zilboorg from Sogo Takeover now in the band and percussionist Jamie Papish from the Yuval Ron Ensemble. We're also going to have my good friend Rafe Pearlman join us for a vocal improvisation; you can see a video & interview with him here. It's going to be a really wonderful show, with high charged music and deep meditative grooves.
RESERVATIONS STRONGLY RECOMMENDED!
We'll be lining up more gigs as the spring comes. Please also signup to our official email list at www.reverbnation.com/Mahadev to stay in touch!
See below for details on each one as well as FB event pages if you want to send it to your friends! We look forward to seeing you there!"
