Come Gather Round Us: News

"We Are All in the Same Band," the new DVD from Come Gather Round Us, is available at CDBaby.com! The band's first audio-visual release offers a window into the 'live' recording process that resulted in their second studio album, "Despair?"

Employing a variety of visual styles, Seattle-based filmmaker Keith Rivers conveys some songs in one beautiful shot, while others are stitched together lovingly into exciting music videos. Rivers highlights the band's commitment to performance over studio trickery, pulling back the curtain to reveal a band that really plays. 

In addition to the main feature, there are 40-minutes of special features, starting with a live version of a never-before-recorded song, "Different Every Time." Other features include live performances in Portland, California and Berlin, music videos, and an extended trailer for the forthcoming documentary film, "Remember Where You Are" (due at film festivals Spring 2012!).

Seattle filmmaker Keith Rivers captured the jam-packed 2-day recording session that resulted in the album "Despair" in beautiful black and white. Special features will include music videos, glimpses of the feature-length documentary "Remember Where You Are," and new live footage. Stay tuned for news on where you can purchase this elegant collector's item.

We're a little late picking it up, but check out this rad album review from the Daily Californian!

Daniela Gast was moved by the song "To be a Rabbit" when she saw Come Gather Round Us play in Berlin in November. Being an artist, she had a creative response -- she asked the band if she could center her next video project on the song. This haunting visual essay is the product of their chance meeting.
