Matthew Klane's Mouth Trumpet record

 

NEW VIDEO for “Sunshine Committee” MK NEWS THE SHORT VERSION: The new video for “Sunshine Committee,” the title track from our new record, is now up on God’s internet, animated and directed by Alex Roberts of Vermont’s ukulele power disco duo The Y Lie. Plus, local focals, if you’re in the Capital District this weekend, catch me and the committee live on Friday night, July 24th, 7pm at The Waiting Room (in Franklin Alley) in Troy. We’ll be going on first, to be followed by Huntress Wizard and The Husbands! NEW VIDEO Here are some stills from Alex’s video of “Sunshine Committee” featuring a floating trumpet and dancing cowboy boots sans cowboy. Other cameos in the vid include Fred Durst and Mt. Olympus (maybe we can cash in on this Odyssey hype?) and the Dunder Mifflin building. I’m so grateful for this work by Alex — be sure to follow he and The Y Lie for more of his superfun animation. If you missed them the first time round, here are some links to the videos from the first Mouth Trumpet record: “Concrete” and “Signs of Life” (both directed by Scott Puccio) and “Ill Will” (directed by James Belflower). UPCOMING SHOWS Two more shows upcoming this summer, the first this Friday night, July 24th, 7pm, at The Waiting Room (in Franklin Alley) in Troy (speaking of the Odyssey!). See my cute flyer below. Me and the committee will be going on first to be followed by friends Huntress Wizard (Martha Moscowitz’ new outfit) and The Husbands (featuring friend of the pod Nick Matulis). If you haven’t seen the full Sunshine band yet, now’s a great time to check us out in a sweet space. In August, I’ll be playing solo in New Haven, CT on Thursday, August 20th, 7pm at The Sandbox, with Dave Scanlon and Chanelle Alessandre. Flyer below by Jillian Shea. The rest of my (as yet) 2026 dates are below. As always, if you think I should come to your town to read poems or play music this year, please email matthewklane@gmail.com.
