The Wrens posted massive update on their site yesterday, tons of stuff but one item in particular caught my attention ...
- 5th wren. There are a bunch of songs we either don’t do or don’t do all that well only ‘cause there are simply too many parts on the record and we can’t figure a way around not playing the parts live and can’t cover it with the four of us. The solution? The 5th wren.
Essentially, we’re gonna write out the TAB/standard notation for the extra parts for a handful of songs – could be a guitar part, could be a baritone, could be a piano – and post them on the site. Anyone who cares to, will be invited to learn the part, there’ll be an email sign-up form to reserve that part for that particular song when we’re playing at a venue near you, and then come on up and kick out the funk, motherjammers. Should be fun. Will start this week in time for the Ohio-area shows and then should be adding another song/part every week or so.
