Dublab was celebrating its 11th year, and held its
bi-annual
Proton Drive fundraiser to continue sending beautiful vibrations around
the world. And the Linda Perhacs band made an appearance.
Although Linda didn't actually sing, she was in the studio, talking about
her music. Julia Holter, Michelle Vidal, and Aaron Robinson performed
some of Linda's songs from "Parallelograms". Dublab also played three
new Linda Perhacs songs, "Delicious", "Prisms of Glass" (recorded at my
studio,
Blueberry Buddha Recording Studios), and "Intensities".
Linda asked me not to publish any photos of her yet, so
sorry, maybe later.

Dublab, 18 November 2010, featuring Linda talking about her music, and the
playing of three new songs.

@ Dublab, 19 November 2010, performing 'If You Were My Man" from
"Parallelograms", an acid-folk album released in 1970 by Linda. A murky
master and no label promotion left Linda disillusioned, and she returned to
her career as a dental hygienist.
The three songs
that we are recording will be for the first album released since that time.
Mark
"Frosty" McNeill of Dublab, interviewing Linda. Mark and Dublab
curated a tribute show to Linda Perhacs which included Linda performing a
couple of her songs, her first live performance ever. I met her after
the beautiful performance. "What do you do?" she immediately asked? "I
have a recording studio and play analog synthesizers," I replied. "We
have to talk," she replied, and wrote down her phone number.
Julia
performing @ Dublab. Julia, along with Adam Von Passow, were the first
two people to begin recording with Linda Perhacs at
Blueberry Buddha in late 2009.

(hope you like the photos, kingairpilot)
I wanted to share with you
some photos of songwriting and recording sessions from earlier this year.
This first one is from 6 June 2010 at Aaron's Echo Park house. In May, Linda
had asked me to begin photographing some of the songwriting, arranging, and
recording sessions. She asked me not to publish any photos of her in
these sessions as well.

Aaron,
Julia, and Robbie Williamson, all of whom performed at the REDCAT with Linda
Perhacs last fall.
Robbie, along with We Are The World, performed "Moons and Cattails" with an
amazing dance troupe.
Aaron also performed at REDCAT, playing guitar on "Parallelograms" with
Linda and serving as de facto musical director.
