Fredo Viola’s EP Out in France

Fredo Viola is one of the cooler musicians I’ve ever met online, and now, at long last, his tracks are being released by a proper label and everyone is going to know how wicked he is and I’ll get to be all laid back and cool and say, “Oh yeah, Fredo - we’ve been emailing back and forth for a few years now,” and I’ll finally be vindicated. By the way, dig the Sad Song video, shot entirely in Motion Jpeg mode in 15-second chunks on a digital camera.

Also, if you are in the vicinity, Fredo’s playing the Transmusicale Festival in Rennes today (cancel any other plans).

OK, un-cancel your plans. I just got word from Mr. Viola that he’s extremely under the weather and had to cancel tonight’s gig under doctor’s orders - he’s got a throat inflamation and could do permanent damage if he sings, and that would be a great loss. Get well soon.
