April 15 and 16, 2013 will be two remarkable days. The sun is scheduled to shine brighter, the breeze is on point to be extra-refreshing, and the birds are waiting in the wings to lift their heads and fling their songs into the air. Why? These two dates mark the triumphant return of the
Danielson Famile. It's the original line-up that started a revolution: Daniel, Elin, Rachel, Megan, Chris, David, Andrew. The whole gang is back and sounding better than ever. This is not to be missed. If you are anywhere in proximity to Philadelphia or NYC, do yourself a favor and secure your tickets right away. If you don't live in proximity, hop on a plane and get there. It'll be well worth it. Ticket links below!
* with Deerhoof and People Get Ready
% with Jeffrey Lewis and Welcome Wagon
Also, in celebration of the first two Famile performances in years, a brand new patch has been created:
Danielson Famile Cornucopia Patch. The Famile will be donning this handsome patch (
see!) in Philadelphia and New York, and you can too! It's a 7" sew-on wonder. Quantities are limited, so
get yours while supplies last!

Scharpling Talks With Danielson!
WFMU, one of the finest radio stations on the planet, is home to The Best Show, one of the finest programs on the station, which is hosted by Tom Scharpling, one of the genius-est personalities on the airwaves today. A few months ago, Tom visited Daniel Smith at his home in New Jersey to talk about encountering Def Leppard at Boy Scout camp, the terror of singing in a tree next to a drunk drum-playing Swede, Danielson then-and-now, and much more. The full conversation is now available via Low Times. Listen here!
Also, April 15th at Union Transfer in Philadelphia, for the first time in years, the Danielson Famile will be together again, sharing the stage with Deerhoof and People Get Ready. Be kind to yourself: clear the calendar, call a friend, and get some tickets. It'll be much more fun than filing taxes.
