"GET IT ALL OUT" – a multi-platform documentary

Tangible artifacts are better than aspirational ones.

The fabulous Dead Human Design team in Birmingham, UK helped us realize a terrific suite of posters, download cards, LP jacket and CD tri-fold DigiPaks + a 12 page booklet for the upcoming Stick Against Stone Orchestra album.  New street date is January 22nd, 2013!

Necessity’s Tongue
(Creighton, Soule, Sullivan, Vitale, Murray, Thomas-Freeman, Gallagher)

Lyrics – John H. Creighton Jr.

Our voices cascade, as they must
When bloody stars press up, up against the glass
Like a song swelling up in our throats
Morning wind is blowin’
It’s blowin’ in fast

Nothing can silence us
Now that the time for singing has come
No one can still
The stirring of Necessity’s Tongue

They grow deaf one sound at a time
Those who pretend, they pretend not to hear
Those who defend the song of life
Are growing new throats and new ears

Nothing can silence us
Now that the time for singing has come
No one can still
The stirring of Necessity’s Tongue

The Stick Against Stone (SAS) Orchestra will be performing songs not heard in almost 30 years from the rediscovered songbook of Stick Against Stone, as part of a free outdoor concert on Saturday, July 9th at 2pm at the Herbert Von King Park Recreation Center (670 Lafayette Avenue) in the Bedford-Stuyvesant neighborhood of Brooklyn, NY.

Hey all – this is our status update where we’re at with the documentary since starting in April 2008.

We have interviewed 19 people in the following cities.
Lancaster, PA
Pittsburgh, PA
Portland, OR
San Francisco, CA
Los Angeles, CA
Minneapolis, MN
New York, NY

We have several more interviews to complete this year, but the progress has been great and we’re hoping to wrap production by the end of Summer 2009.

We have been working on remastering both live and studio songs from the group’s first incarnation, with the intent to release an album in the 1st half of 2009.
