The Congregation on BBC TV!

Back in November, a BBC film crew came to Chicago and filmed us performing live at Reggies for an episode of their documentary series “Horizon”. The episode debuted on BBC Two last night, but for our stateside fans we’ve got the web exclusive:

VINYL PRESSING FUNDRAISER

Hey Congregation Nation…we recently finished mixing with Matt DeWine at Pieholden Suite Sound and Record Collection is now in the hands of Carl Saff who is putting the final touches on the masters. The next step in bringing you this new album is pressing vinyl! We need a little help scraping up the dough to pay for this though, so we’re putting on a fundraiser concert at Martyrs on Friday, March 6th. Joining us will be fellow Pieholden alums Antony and the Tramps. DJ Bashert will be keeping things going between sets. Tickets are available now at martyrslive.com. We hope to see you there! xoxo, The Congregation
