Here’s a band I’ve been obsessed with lately - Bear Hands. I saw them open up for Passion Pit at the Bowery Ballroom and they’ve been in my headphones ever since.
Three years ago Trinity hosted a DA Pennebaker film festival in which mr Pennebaker himself showed up to premier a re-edited version of his iconic 1967 documentary “Don’t Look Back.” He took all the footage he shot of Bob Dylan’s 1965 tour through Europe and put together a documentary that shows a little bit of different side of the Dylan we know. check out this clip from “65 revisited.”

A Little Bit of Summer Flava
Raised in New Jersey, Scott Soens has built a rep for himself capturing a different side of the surf world. He was one of the original artists to collaborate with Jack Johnson and Chris Malloy to form the Moonshine Conspiracy - the group that went on to become Brushfire Records and Woodshed Films. Over the last decade, Scott has documented some of the best moments in surfing and skating. His most notable film projects include Thicker Than Water, Shelter, Hallowed Ground, and more….

Violens - Already Over
This is a video remix done by Caroline Polachek, using the song “Already Over” by the Violens. Think Beach Boys meets the Shins with a little bit of new-waveish original flavor, the Violens have been touring with Grizzly Bear and MGMT. Their label, Cantora Records, describes them:
“Violens songs conjure descriptions of nightmares, the passing of time, speculations on spiritual messages, and accounts of psychedelic hallucinations. Even their most frenetic guitar work and aggressive rhythms are draped in a gauze of reverberant, harmonized vocals and synths which create a sense of creepy, artificial comfort. A fitting characterization, lyrically and musically, for a group whose name sounds like a melding of the words ‘violence’ and ‘violins’”
Hopefully we’ll get them to play the Mill sometime soon
