Fresh for the spring holidays here is another live track from our March 1st 2014 show in Norderstedt. Its another extended live version of a track from the “Wichita” lp called “She”… yet another excellent editing job by Babylon Slim and his Tower of Babel editing crew, we hope you like it!

Pass it around, spread it on toast and otherwise enjoy!

New video, new (old) images!

lee athens 1981

Our new video from our show at MusicStar Norderstedt (1st March 2014) is online. Here’s a short message from Lee:

Hi Y’all
Here is the first of a series of live videos taken from our march 1st show at the MusicStar in lovely Norderstedt,
they will be the first live videos with the current dream line up…  the videos are being edited by the famous Babylon Slim (aka Phillip Stillman) in his Tower of Babel compound located somewhere in the southeast united states…
We are especially fond of playing the “dis-assembly coda” at the end of the song and i hope yall enjoy it as much as we do every time we play it.
Warmest regards,
Lee

PS: the text was motivated by the 2008 presidential electionand the subsequent GOP meltdown and yen for a (continuation of this) new era of 1950′s style hypocrisy and denial…

Have a look:

Also, we’ve uploaded some new pictures to the gallery. There is a “fan snapshot” photo of Montanablue onstage opening for the German band BAP on one their 1980′s German stadium tours. Plus, there’s a cool picture taken in Athens Georgia back in 1981! It shows Lee with a 1965 Epiphone Wilshire, he had just bought from REM’s Peter Buck. For the gear geeks among you, there are also a couple of new pictures in the wood & wire section.

After nearly 3 years of loyal service our drummer Lars has left to concentrate on his teaching and session jobs. We thank Lars for his time and his contribution to the William Lee Self project!
