Notes

Ooh La La, Sha Sha... is done.

Many of you have been writing lately to ask what is afoot here at Camp Fairchild; in fact, we have been overwhelmed with inquiry, comment and plea. Well, today I, Schuyler Dunlap, your Original Homemade Superstar, write to you to answer your pleas, allay your fears and relieve your stresses.

After very nearly 2 full years of joy and pain, Daddy Wrall, Samuel P. Nice and myself have completed the final mixes on the much anticipated Ooh La La, Sha Sha. Indeed, the release of our sophomore offering is nigh.

Now, by “nigh” I mean a couple of months away. There are a few loose ends to be completed on the musical and non-musical aspects of the record, but we are closer than ever. In fact, a number of recordings will be leaked over the following months, being made available on the website and at a number of promotional mixtapes to be released at future shows. Look out for these surprises as a limited edition thank-you to those of you who choose to spend your evenings getting down to our music. (As a side note, I hope all of you that picked up a copy of the first installment in this series last month in Boston are enjoying the remarkable work of our very own Samuel P. We think he’s pretty special.)

all hallow's eve

A seminal night for Miss Fairchild, this Halloween 2006. Playing at Chicky’s Fine Diner in the hamlet of Westbrook, ME, DW, P. and myself had decided to dress as “the old Miss Fairchild.” Under those rules, Wrall might have had bigger hair and a different cut to his beard, P. might have worn sweat pants (pink, preferably) and I might have sported an ascot. Upon arrival, however, we found our costumes had already been taken by three enterprising fans. So Caitlin, Liz and Meaghan: way to represent. Maybe we can get some photos up here so the good folks keeping score at home can see. (hint, hint…)

At Halloween parties, you see people dressed as pop stars and musicians all the time; normally, however, those pop stars aren’t you.

Until next time, The Great Dunlap

I might have to start charging for this stuff.

Okay, okay. Here’s what’s up:

Shows are great. New York really stood up on Friday for our show with the peerless Don Dilego. Daddy Wrall and I “sat in” for a tune off his most recent record, Photographs of 1971 (hint: buy it). From hearing the new tunes, sooooo many of you have been clamoring for a copy of Ooh La La, Sha Sha… which is as yet unavailable. Let me say this as a teaser: something off this record will become available soon. The form and location of this music is undetermined, but we will put something in your hands, believe me.

And Portsmouth, NH: oh how we love thee! Let me count the ways. Can’t wait to get back to the Red Door. See you soon, I hope.

For those of you that braved the rain and cut countless costumed celebrations in favor of getting down mf style: you win. We concede victory.

Many highlights from the weekend, but allow me to relate one in particular:

Celtics Training Camp

okay, so this isn’t a sports blog and i’m not going to talk about the c’s. i am, however, going to shout out christopher rockswell, aka develin of develin and darko, who recently moved up here and was sporting a pretty fly c’s hat. he’s from baltimore and no one expects him to work any bullets gear (esp. since the bullets had two failed attempts at existing are now the wizards of all teams.) so welcome to beantown chris.

well, show with spankro was pretty slamming. big thank you to everyone that came out. as you can see, there are changes, surprises, moments of awe and wonder. ups to chris (soundguy), ronnie, spankrock, paserock, ben (happy birthday) and others. for those of you who weren’t able to get tickets: we’ll be back soon, i promise.

in the meantime, go root for the celtics, they need it right now. (there’s always hope, though, especially with such a young team.)

From Shining Sea To Frozen Tundra

Well, it looks like I missed that ever important next day window for recapping Miss Fairchild’s recent strong. You see, I spent nearly the entirety of Thursday, Friday and Saturday awake, and come Sunday, there were not enough remaining braincells to form one complete sentence, let alone several complete sentences to make paragraphs and such. Well, now we’re at Wednesday and I still have doubts about the projected coherence of my ramblings, but here I go anyway…

Bringing It All Back Home (no new info)

People: we love you. You are the reason this is good and I thank for you that.

Miss Fairchild made a little homecoming last night, to the place that, in a way, it all started. You see, Daddy Wrall, the Great Dunlap and Samuel P. Nice used to play in this band Jive Sucka! way back in 1997-8 that foreshadowed in a serious way what’s going down nowadays. That band lived and played on Nantucket Island and it is to her shores that we returned last night with the new five piece band.

And Nantucket really came out for us. Came out and supported the band, supported the music, supported the upcoming album, supported its own. You folks exceeded my expectations.

And hopefully we did the same for you.

For those of you who don’t know what’s up, it’s a whole new era in Fairchildland and if I were you, I would get on the train now, while you still can. Those of you that have been with us all along: say word, motherlovers; you guys got it going on.

And on we go. See you at the next show.

PEOPLE!!!!! (What you doin’?)

Well, we at MF are standing on the verge of getting it on, motherlovers. I have to say sorry for my long absence from this blog. It isn’t that there is nothing going on, more that there is too much going on. We’ll get to that shortly.

For those of you who aren’t hip to the e-mail list, two things: (1) get hip, go to missfairchild.com and sign up; (2) uh, it sounds kind of drastic, but we have a new band.
