NEW RELEASE! American Refugees: Homelessness in Four Movements DVD & Soundtrack
It's been far too long, but BENT is proud to present a new DVD documentary: American Refugees: Homelessness in Four Movements as well as the soundtrack by The New Rome. You can order the DVD from our createspace eStore and order the soundtrack from Itunes.
This documentary was filmed in and around Birmingham, Alabama in conjunction with Jason Wasserman and Jeffrey Clair's four-year ethnographic research, providing a further opportunity to experience the people and issues discussed in their book, At Home on the Street: People, Poverty and a Hidden Culture of Homelessness.
$2 of every full price purchase through the eStore will be donated to the Church of the Reconciler located in Birmingham, Alabama. Also, if you already own the book, you will be entitled to a $5 discount.
American Refugees is a gripping and fast-paced portrait of life on the streets. Maintaining the richness and complexity surrounding the issue of homelessness, Wasserman and Clair offer a film that is academic and artistic in equal measure. The filmmakers cover life on the streets from political conflict to service programs to social justice. Together with their book At Home on the Street, Wasserman and Clair offer new insights into society's broken relationship with those who are homeless, illustrating that even where social programs are designed to help, they often serve only to replicate the oppression at the heart of homelessness in the first place. Interviews with those living on the street, those staying in shelters, police officers, religious leaders, shelter directors, outreach workers, sociologists, city officials, graffiti artists, and radical local activists give the audience a well-rounded look into a difficult issue, all while maintaining an artistic sensibility.

Yep
Just wanted to give an update on a couple of things:
OAKROT (Portland, OR) will be playing at the Spring Street Firehouse with Veloz, Dolarhyde and Legion on Thursday, Oct. 21st. Thanks to the folks at the Firehouse for adding him!
The Barker/Jacks/Sizemore trio (aka, DROVES) keep their promise to disappoint the masses by playing zero shows and not finishing their recordings. Lance Hayes (Death or El Dona/Cearo) has been offering his signature guitar licks to the band for a couple of weeks now, and things are moving along at a good pace.
We'll have another update soon for an upcoming DVD release.
Love,
Darryl

Please wait while we put you on HOLD
The Barker/Jacks/Sizemore Trio failed to play their first show that was supposed to take place tonight at BottleTree for the Tina Pilgrim Benefit. Jason Barker is currently on tour with and providing his bass chops for Terrible Things (ex-members of Taking Back Sunday, Hotrod Circuit and Coheed & Cambria). We'll see him back here on April 12th. Hopefully, we can finish our recordings and play a show for you soon.
Love,
Darryl

Musician's Friends & Oak Rot
The Barker/Sizemore/Jacks Trio recorded with Matt Whitson over the cold-ass weekend of February 6th at Magic City Wholesale. In all, three proper jams were recorded on the best digital technology Matt can afford. We plan to record vocals and Brad Davis' buttery Moog trax SOON. We'll post here as soon as we're done.
Other news: one of our friends from Portland, OR started a new one-man music project called OAK ROT. Facebook = OAK ROT and you can go here for a dark, mysterious MP3.
Love,
Darryl
