New York City band Lucinda Black Bear (whose leader C. Gibbs will be remembered by us for playing the very first Deli Mag fundraiser at Asterisk in the Fall of 2004) will release KNIVES, the second full-length CD of what NPR Music calls their "carefully written folk rock with stunning sonic arrangements" on Tuesday, November 2nd. To mark the occasion, the band will play three New York-area shows throughout the fall: 92nd Street Y Tribeca on November 5th, Maxwell’s on November 11th and Rockwood Music Hall on December 9th. The lead single, the CD’s title track, was released yesterday.
