Henningham

Half-handed Cloud’s John Ringhofer recently returned from a trip to Europe. Prior to a brief UK and Scandinavian tour with K Record’s Lake, he spent a week in London collaborating with printmaking duo Henningham Family Press. Their week of printing culminated in an event during which John debuted brand-new Half-handed Cloud songs to accompany a print that the three had designed together. The print was created with silkscreens, linocuts, three carefully-chosen colors of ink, and even post-consumer printing paper made by wind power!

Zap!

Six new songs were performed atop a giant 12-foot spinning turntable, and nearly 100 people participated in a sing-along to cue cards displaying either “Ooooh”, “Doo-doo-doo”, or “Aaah”. They printed a limited edition of posters which will be for sale in the near future on Asthmatic Kitty’s website but are available here now.

Get ‘em while there hot!
