Senryu’s night at WDVX was nothing one seriously raw miracle. Thanks again, everyone.

Eating the beards of legends.

We in Senryu owe a very big thanks. A couple of them.

Recently, we were invited by Wayne Bledsoe to come and perform again on his “All Over The Road” radio show. We had done it before. But this time, he wanted to step it up a little. Wayne proposed that we leave our acoustic sets (which are awkward for us anyways) behind us and bring our full-tilt show to the tiny WDVX radio booth.

So we did.

We hand-picked an audience of long-timers and threw a little party.  It was one of the best nights in Senryu’s history and we want to thank Wayne, WDVX, and all of our magnificent Knoxvillian friends for accepting our invitations and for showing up ready to put a donk on it. The setlist went as follows:

Tiny Killer!   House of Tarantulas   Shiver and Shine  Disco Nap   I’ve Always Been A Slut  Leave The Light On   Poison (Bel Biv Devoe)   My Father’s Blood   3 Burning Queens   Put Your Blinders On   That Girl Is An Animal   I Am A Battering Ram   Joust   Somewhere Out There (from An American Tail)   Posture Perfect   Simulacra   Somersault   Song #6   Most Glorious Senryu Preamble   Oubliette

And that was that. Thank you so much.

All our albums are free: senryu.bandcamp.com

We have been both praised and criticized for our decision to make our entire recorded catalog free. We completely understand both. The fact of the matter is that we believe that if a person wants to hear our songs badly enough, they are able to for free because the internet makes it so. We just prefer giving our music directly to people, so that we know that they have the highest quality, the album art and credits, and it keeps our relationship face to digital face. We are just happy that people love us, and we don’t mind passing on the microscopic profiteering. If people want to help support us, they can and do come to our shows, buy our posters and shirts and books. As long as people love our albums, as far as we’re concerned, they already own them anyways. Enjoy.

Hello, little babies.

Welcome to our new online orphanage. Can you stand it?

We’ve been terrifically busy, having just released a new EP

and remix EP and played a really awesome run of shows.

Now, we’re in the kitchen again, but in the meantime, we

will be trying our best to communicate with you right here,

with videos and demos and REGULAR UPDATES, which we

have been really bad friends about. We’re trying to get better,

we swear.

let the games begin,
