The third studio recording from Tea Leaf Green, Taught To Be Proud, is set for a November 15 release date. The band will spend 11/15 at Burlington Vermont’s Higher Ground amidst a tour through the northeast, including two CD Release shows at New York Citys Coda on November 18 and 19. Prior to then, the band will open four shows for Trey Anastasio from November 2-5. However, as we noted below (and wish to re-emphasize to avoid confusion), contrary to an email sent out by Team Anastasio earlier today, TLG will not be opening for Trey this weekend at Vegoose.

Smoking Monkeys and Ceremonial Music: Billy Martins Short Film To Premiere Next Month

_ A Path To Ogun_ is the name of an 8 minute short film directed and produced by MMW drummer Billy Martin. It would appear that anyone who attends will certainly get eight minutes of entertainment, as evinced the following description: When a robot becomes lost in the wilderness, it is introduced to a supernatural-spirit world that attempts to transform its consciousness. Encounters with a smoking monkey, a talking toy piano and other characters watch and guide the robot throughout its journey. The accompanying soundtrack includes ceremonial music from Central Africa and Brazil. _ A Path To Ogun_ will debut on November 14th as part of the NY Film and Video Festival Village East Cinemas Theater 6.
