End of the year post!

It's been a while since I've caught up on everything here, so I'm gonna catch up in one year end post.

This fall was great, Archer Spade played some great shows with Toshimaru Nakamura and I did my first tour with Chris Forsyth's Solar Motel Band. Both groups have tours coming up in the first couple months of 2015. Check out my upcoming dates for details on the Archer Spade Scandinavian tour and Solar Motel's January jaunt through the Southeast.

This year I released a lot of albums! You can check out some of them on my Bandcamp page here:

The ones that aren't there are the Haitian Rail Solarists record which is available at http://www.newatlantisrecords.com and the Form and Mess record, which is available at http://sickroomrecords.com/.

I also have a few releases coming up! In the next few months I have three releases that I'm involved with to be released:

-Archer Spade's new record featuring compositions by Mick Barr, Dave Soldier, Gene Coleman, Johnny DeBlase and ourselves will be released on CD by Mulatta Records

-Many Arms + Toshimaru Nakamura will be released on CD by Public Eyesore

-Dead Neanderthals + Nick Millevoi Dietary Restrictions will be released in limited quantities on tape by Obsedante, recorded live in Berlin during our tour together

Mid-summer update

It's been a busy summer and I've got lots of exciting stuff going on. Since my last post, I've been on tour around the Midwest with Many Arms, had the new Haitian Rail record released, and played the first shows with Form and Mess.

Here's a summary of all the excitement:

 I was featured on Miguel Copon's great blog, Prepared Guitar, which features a pretty serious collection of everything I've done: http://preparedguitar.blogspot.com/2014/07/nick-millevoi-13-questions.htmlI'm now a featured artist of Augustine strings, which I've been using on my Creston Telecaster: http://albertaugustine.com/artist/nickmillevoi.html

Haitian Rail (Edward Ricart, Dan Blacksberg, Kevin Shea, and myself) released our album, Solarists, in July. Burning Ambulance premiered our video, directed by Dylan Pecora, over here in advance of the release: http://burningambulance.com/2014/07/23/haitian-rail/

Here's the video (full screen viewing recommended!):



We also received pretty great reviews from:

More news is on the way, including the release of the Form and Mess record, which will be out on Sick Room Records at the end of August.

I'll be playing with Brandon Lopez in Philly on August 23 at Kung Fu Necktie with Dama/Libra, USCO, and Air is Human, and then on August 30 with a free jazz party band I put together called BUGOUT! at Pageant Soloveev on a bill with Bill Nace/Steve Baczkowski.

Fall dates will be posted soon!
