Yes!  Seth Faergolzia and 23 Psaegz will be performing an awesome 2 sets with their friends Folkfaces at Abiline, Rochester, NY

Friday, December 18th

Hey Everybody,

I know it has been a while since I posted a new song to this page.  I apologize to all my subscribers for the hiccup.  Tour took a lot more out of me than I had expected!  It was a great journey through Europe (Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Belgium, Czech Republic, Denmark and Sweden), but to suddenly jump back into recording and producing a new song every week was fairly impossible.  For those of you who are subscribed, I did recently create a new folder which contains 34 for of the 50 songs I promised to release this year.  We also recorded 3 new ones in NYC right before we flew out of the country.  So that puts me up to 37 so far this year!  I’m working on 8 songs with my band 23 Psaegz, and the other 5 will be done in my home studio.  My thought at this point is that it will probably all get done in January or maybe early February.  I forgot to account for life and rest when I created the goal of 50 songs in a year.  It’s quite a bit of work.  I hope you’ll all be patient and realize I’m just one man!!

So, after I get the 50 done, you will still have the opportunity to vote for which songs you like best and what will go onto the final album, but I’m thinking it might end up being two albums, one for the 23 Psaegz and one of my solo work in the home studio.  There’s so much good material, and it is all so varied in style and production!  I plan on continuing this subscription project but expanding it.  I’ll be opening it up to some other websites (although this one will always be my priority, releases etc. will be here first), and I’ll begin a year of video making.  I plan on making music videos for the top 5 songs from this year’s productions and also begin work on my puppet rock opera, which will eventually be a full length movie, but I’ll be releasing it in short webisodes over the course of the year.  So, please spread the word!  This has been a great boon to my creativity and inspiration.  I hope we can keep on with it and even make it grow!!

Here are some PHOTOS from the European tour, enjoy!!!

All the best,

Seth

This is one of those songs that come out easy, and I don’t really give much thought to until I start playing it over and over again when suddenly I realize their true power to move me.  I love this one a ton.  That’s why I’m giving it away for free to the general public.  I hope you will all enjoy it as much as I do!  Special thanks to 23 Psaegz for all their work preparing the songs and recording them at Blackdog Recording Studios in Rochester, NY.  There were seven songs in total we recorded during these sessions, and I’ll be releasing them over the course of the next few weeks.  Enjoy!!

VIDEO GAMES WITH REAL GUNS – © ⓟ 2014 Seth Faergolzia, ALL RIGHTS RESERVED

When the wrecking ball makes all come down

When you’re standing in your destroyed town

You take picture on your phone

Send it to the drones

Send it to the clones

 

Perhaps the pic will end up viral

Thousands will pretend they care

Your pain and grief will make you famous

But you’re still standing there, dust collecting in your hair

 

Till you finally start to walk away

Everywhere you go they think you’re homeless

That’s not exactly what you are though

Your home was destroyed, and now you’ve nowhere to go

 

Into the mountains where you’re looking down

See it’s happening to every town

People doing it are playing games

Video games with real guns, and don’t say it ain’t a shame

 

So you attempt to bring them back

To reality through desperation

They cannot see the lives they take

Sat at a desk with numbers spilling out of their hands

Your vision grows across the world

Finding its way to all the boys and girls

They spill into the streets in numbers too large to contain

But are they desperate as you?

 

It’s not the numbers but the drive inside

You’ve got to show them that the fight is alive

Got break the shell of protected ignorance

Expose the innocence and teach the clone how to cry.

Seth Hebert-Faergolzia and a group of 5 amazing musicians will be traveling Europe this Autumn performing Seth’s music including #100songs, Dufus, 23 Psaegz, Forest Creature and anything else you can think of with the latest troupe, FAERGOLZIA.

Seth plays acoustic guitar and loop station. From California, multi-instrumentalist and vocalist, John Ludington from Absynth Quintet, a critically acclaimed gypsy-grass band, “…the lovechild of Beck and Frank Zappa…” Seth and John toured Europe in 2013 with their collaborative project, Forest Creature. Shaun Jones from Heck Yup, will be gently shredding electric guitar. Laura Lee Jones wearing an old washboard will tinker with auxiliary percussion & provide voice and theremin melodies. Beat professor, drummer extraordinaire, Dominic Marini is on his maiden voyage with Faergolzia.

The freak-folk group will be performing a full and varied cross-section of the peerless oddball music that has delighted and baffled audiences, collaborators, and critics alike for over a decade. Faergolzia will continue to shake musical conventions, making moments honest and organic in their exploration of possibility.
