Donate

Feeling charitable? How about donating! There are a lot of costs associated with Lost Gospel, from the generator to props, flier production and video equipment rental. The cost of a generator ranges from $34-$65 depending on the size of the band and how many instruments. For the White Fang show we had water balloons and sparklers and for Starfucker we had a pool, pool toys and various swimming related accouterments like goggles and beach towels plus chalk for afterward. For all three shows including Almost Nearly we also spent a good deal of time (and change) using the ink and paper at FedEx Kinko's. So anything you can pitch along in our direction will help and go towards the kitty of continued Lost Gospel events. We've got some fun ones up our sleeve for December and in the New Year!

You can donate via paypal through the donate button in this post or via our sidebar or via our email: thisislostgospel@gmail.com

If you'd like to sponsor an event by covering all the costs, we'd love you all the more! Still, any little bit helps! Whoo!

Thanks! Stay tuned!

Lost Gospel: Starfucker Pool Party Videos

Here are two videos from the Lost Gospel Starfucker pool party in a vacant lot on Belmont on July 19th. You can pretty much see the crowd multiply as the videos progress. 

"German Love," "Florida" and a little bit of "Pop Song":

On Sunday we have Almost Nearly and Glass Teeth on an abandoned train car! Whoo!!

Sunday July 20th 2008 at 5pm sharp!

Meet on the corner of 17th and Ochoco - kitty corner from Goodwill Bins.

Glass Teeth will lead us down the rails in song, armed with a guitar. We'll reach an abandoned train car after about 10 minutes where Almost Nearly will be waiting to serenade us with a special set! This will be an intimate acoustic gig.

Psssst: This could be Almost Nearly's final gig as the group exists now, so be sure to come. If not for the breezy tunes, then to see a curtain fall.

Oh - and Almost Nearly's Miss Nicole Perry will be gracing Lost Gospel again later in the summer as a part of Southern Belle who are scheduled to perform an acoustic set in a tree! Yep!

WHT FNG Brooklyn Park Pics

At long last! Here are a batch of photos from the White Fang show at Brooklyn Park - the first offering from Lost Gospel's summer show series. Maybe we should talk about how we scheduled the show for 7pm, but White Fang's Erik Wolfgang Gage put it on their myspace page as starting at 8. So we had some time to fill. Cue a poetry reading by White Fang drummer Chuck!

There was uncertainty in the air due to unseasonal rain (it'd been 100 degrees the day before), the crashing of thunder and lightning strikes overhead, but while threatening, the weather did little to disturb the show aside from canceling out the water balloons we'd filled at prior to our arrival on the basketball court.

Four members of the White Fang tribe performed five songs after the poetry reading with a generator providing juice to the guitar amp and Erik going mic-less.

Afterwards we all hung around playing basketball and with sparklers until retiring to a meal at the Hot Cake house and then over to White Fang's house SK8 and Rhone a little before midnight. It was an awesome assortment of people from the gig on throughout the night - a whole united gaggle, many of whom who'd barely met prior to White Fang's Lost Gospel set but now fast friends.

COMING SOON

We have a pool party planned with Starfucker, White Fang on a basketball court, Glass Candy on a playground, Southern Belle in a tree, Almost Nearly on a train car with Glass Teeth and more to come. Stay tuned.
