Walk Hard trailers

"I like to blow you/kisses." hehehe. I'm laughing already.

Here are the trailers:





UPDATE: Here's a much more descriptive post at The Playlist

Cedar Rapids article

Here's a nice piece, looking forward to this weekend's Cedar Rapids dates.

"Ashford and Bern return for Cabaret in the Courtyard"

Also, this week's new Myspace mp3 is Bike! hurray. Its like Dan Bern does children's music, almost.

Well, Bonds did it, finally. And, from the little I saw, seemed pretty gracious about the whole thing.

Here's a version of "73" from Maxwell's, May 24, 2007:

(there are also a couple of blog entries about Bonds on Bern's Myspace)

more on Walk Hard

I was hoping to see a Walk Hard trailer when I went to see (the completely hilarious) Hot Rod this weekend. Sadly, no. Apparently the trailer premieres with Superbad on August 17. (Unfortunately, Superbad doesn't actually look so good...though Michael Cera is always funny.)

Also...Eddie Vedder is in the movie! And Paul Rudd plays John Lennon. Yay.

UPDATE: There's a little piece on the movie in the latest Rolling Stone, which says

Singer-songwriter Dan Bern and Candy Butchers frontman Mike Viola wrote most of the film's many songs, which range from the protest anthems "There's a Change a Happenin'" and "Mulatto" to the Johnny Cash-esque "Hole in My Pants." (Marshall Crenshaw wrote the title tune and Van Dyke Parks was enlisted for one of Cox's psychedelic jams.) "It was almost like a Manhattan Project for songwriters," says Bern. "It was the most fun thing I've ever done."
-Rolling Stone, August 9, 2007 (p. 20)

Cedar Rapids dates

A couple of dates later this month in Cedar Rapids, Cabaret in the Courtyard at Brucemore, were just quietly posted. August 17-19. Check it out at the Brucemore site and on Bern's MySpace.

Here's another song recorded in May at the East End Cafe:
