The film’s infamous “suitcase” On the touring front, the group received rousing ovations at this year’s renowned Folk Alliance International Conference, and will soon announce a string of East coast/Northeast/ In the interim, pucker up for pecks of blood-red reverence as the supreme beings of osculation brandish their sophisticated stereophonic pomp with themes that gleam in the dark and bask in the illumination of resplendent art.
