New post, new camera, but first...

All the pictures in this blog were taken with a Canon Camera (but the one from Lithuania by Figliotucano). Now, C. Lee gave me as birthday present a Nikon, so consider that all the next pics i'll be posting here will be taken with this new black camera.
But, there's always a but, this short short blog does contain three images i took with Vicar V. mobile phone. Trees here are from Musica nelle Valli Festival, in San Martino Spino.
One of the best festival in the whole Europe, where tons of great different bands played.
For more info go to http://www.fooltribe.com
Anyhow, these are the trees who surround and protect the festival over the years.

From july 29th till september 17th Father Murphy will be around Italy and Europe (w/Sic Alps! and The Ex!), touring and touring again (thanks fitz at nomanis.com).
You can find all the dates updated.
It means i'll have so many new pics of different trees, trees that will once again protect our way.
When i was a kid i thought trees were somehow evil, i think it's because of Twin Peaks series. I do understand now that even if Trees will always protect me, it doesn't mean that some sort of Evil won't be after me.

PS soon news about our first 7'' (together with amazing HowMuch wood would a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood) and first LP live (Recorded by our friends at Brigadisco Records during our last visit at their amazing Studio).

The first time i may be feeling embarrassed

First on the left is a photo i've got from my friend Figliotucano, while he was hiding in the Lithuanian woods. Then, following to the right, again a picture coming from the hidden place in my home town, that i decided not to name in this post. IT is beautiful and clean, but the there's a bigot evil running thorugh her streets, through her inhabitants veins, so i'm just trying to be not part of it.
Anyhow, the tree on the right, in that same picture, i think of it as a massive load of spores...


Continuing, on what i believe it'll be the picture on the right side (both meanings?) of what i'm writing, it is the London sky as seen through
some green leaves, in one of the only moment when it didn't rain... As usual, someone could say


And while this picture below introduces something new, being in fact a picture of trees as seen through a pagoda (again, the hidden place of few lines earlier has still lot to share with me)...


The last one does refer to another foreign country/city that starts with the letter L, being this time Leeds (after, i like to be precise and flowery/redundant, Lithuania and London).

It is been taken on a early morning, after a show we did in Leeds last week.


It seems to me now that this post is nothing but a
didactic one.
I cannot say if i wanted to write more than a short description of my first time 5 pictures in a only post.
Anyway, i will end it now, with a phrase i somehow keep on thinking of since i woke up this morning (but, damn, i cannot recall where i heard of or read it...so not even sure my english will be that right...)
I was a looking at a tree, asking for protection, with a secret hope i could go home with that feeling of protection. While looking at it, i felt kind of embarrassed, so i suddenly crossed my legs.
I would have noticed that behaviour of mine other times while growing. That, for what i can recall, it's been the first time.

Even Treviso was able to show a hidden place

viso, never played there with Murphies, never been fond of my home town.
No none can be prophet in his own town someone says.
Anyway, Chiara Lee, Figliotucano and I were walking the other day, nearby the river, and we found an old mansion, close close close to the city center, with a mysterious park.
Someone says the owner was a mason, and that he built the whole place following some rituals and old schemes.
Anyway, after following a gate made of ivy, and after getting out by a small temple, with an altar in the center of it, we got to this place, this lake you can see here above.
The two pictures are taken one after the other, the second one with flash on.
The three of us thought of being on a Salgari book.
And, even if for few seconds, we were happy to be back in Treviso.

Next, i'll have some trees frorm Lithuania, thanks to Figliotucano.
Now i'm off to the Biennale of Venice, where we'll play tomorrow at Osloo Boat, made by danish artist FOS, as part of the Danish Pavillon.

Hide yourself in the woods

(one) Two Trees...

Right before leaving home for other shows (we'll be back to UK! but before we''ll play at Musica nelle Valli, one of the best festival in the whole Italy, and at The Venice Biennale), here i am posting indeed two pics taken few days ago.
One being a majestic tree in front of Chiara Lee's parents'house, the other one being next to the venue in Padova where we opened for Disappears last sunday.
First pic, taken on a early afternoon.
Second one, right before the sunset.

Not that i wanna start talking about beginning and/or ending anything.
It's been an interesting couple of days, that's all.

We also worked a lot on the new record.
I haven't talked about it, not here.

I have a title for it, not sure 100%.
I have few words i can share, it doesn't matter if they'll make it or not into a song.

Some of these days look at your eyes.
Look at you breathing.
Before diving back in.

One week later, the Russian trees are for real!

A picture taken nearby the Sea, in St. Petersburg.
We were up North, and the Sun was really something.
Skif Festival is been awesome. Same thing for all the people we met.
I hope we will be always able to give back the love we receive from trees as from the poeple we meet on our way.
Following the Path.

Next i'll be posting russian trees...

Next friday and saturday may 13th and 14th Fr. Murphy is been invited to play at SKIF Festival, in St. Petersburg, Russia.
On the bill bands as SWANS, THE EX, GONJA SUFI, JAMES BLACKSHAW and much much more.
So i'll be posting soon mi first pictures of russian trees.

Anyway, here is another picture take few weeks ago.
I was up north, going to Stockolm from Goteborg.
The day, in the middle of Sweden, wasn't that bad, even if we were almost expecting some snow on the way.

Then in Stockolm we found the Sun.
Other pictures, another story.
Even if i see that i'm never telling stories, just posting pictures.
I believe stories are somehow my business, and few people will give much more than a damn about it. While trees i hope will be find more fans.
I'm sure.
Protect yourself with trees.

Here we are: Norwegian woods!

...and after hiding myself in the woods as a way to celebrate Easter, finally i'm here posting a new picture.
This is taken in Norway, few km's from the border with Sweden.
We were coming from stockolm, that day was beautiful.
I'll have soon other pcitures posted.
Trees will tell you and let me remember of an another european tour.

On the shows section i will so be posting all the past shows.
And i'll have soon more stuff for the Heresy section as well.

We played with several different bands, i want you to check Thulebasen, fron Denmark, and Jackdaw with Crowbar, from England.

Hugs over the trees
