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!

Hi Sounds Familyre,
Here’s a show-review (in Japanese) with pictures (scroll down) featuring live screen printing by David & Ping* Henningham and the giant 12-foot spinning record.

These songs still need to be properly recorded, but the plan is to release the seven song EP as a one-sided LP on Burnt Toast Vinyl. http://www.burnttoastvinyl.com
