New Song and Video: “Follow Me”

Check out our new song, along with some visuals of our recent travels in Costa Rica. The song “Follow Me” charts new territory for us, with it’s whimsical, child-like feel, pairing a uke and a guitar.

The Happy Falder-oliday EP!

The Happy Falder-oliday EP features a few of our favorite Christmas songs which we recorded over a few nights a couple of years back. We’ve never released it, until now. It’s available to download at our website (TheFalderals.com). 100% of the money you pay (and you can choose any amount, or free!) goes right to Unbound, one of the best, top-rated, and most effective international child/elderly sponsorship charities out there (see what they do at www.cfcusa.org). Don’t miss track six, featuring a much younger Hayk singing “The Twelve Days of Christmas.”

New Live Video of Rebecca Singing "Motherland" by Natalie Merchant

Check out Rebecca performing a beautiful rendition of Natalie Merchant’s song “Motherland.”

331 club

It’s always so much fun it is to play at The 331 Club in NE mpls. Such nice folks there; staff and patrons. It’s a down to earth space and with a gritty-hip vibe. Jason does a great job on sound and he is so easy to work with. Art a Wirl is happening this wknd starting 5/17 so head over to 331 and the surrounding area to check out some excellent bands!

That was fun

It was so fun to play at the Aster. We felt honored to be there as it is a regular foot-stompin’ ground for many of our Twin Cities local musicians. Such great sound, fun staff, excellent food and thanks to you all, a DELICIOUS crowd! Thanks for coming out and supporting us and we hope you like the new EP. We are working hard to finish up touches to our forthcoming album; proving tricky with bandmates having full time jobs. Come see us at Dunn Brothers every month or Superior for a festival or…

The New Video "Love it Through," from the Folk It! EP

We are proud of our new EP, Folk It! which we recorded with some friends over the last few months. It got some songs out of our system which won’t be included on our soon-to-be released album. Here’s a video we made (in five minutes) to feature one of the songs. The album is available for download here.

Kicking Some Aster on March 7!

Happy Valentines Day from The Falderals,

We’re almost done with our existential, experimental, and yet un-named EP, which we recorded in a flurry these past months, trying some things we’ve never tried before, gathering friends via Dropbox to add parts, and we’re excited to release a version of it at The Aster on March 7.

As a Valentines Day gift we’re offering anybody who makes an advanced reservation for our March 7 Aster gig a free download code to get an early cut of the EP (when it’s ready…in the next few days, hopefully). The EP includes three brand new songs, a cover we’ve been playing forever (yes, we finally got the nerve to record our version of “In the Aeroplane Over the Sea”), and an old, classic, pre-Falderal song we’ve been doing for years (old Gatewood fans might remember this one). We got some dobro featuring Jim McGuinn, some uke and guitar featuring Deke McCallum.

Just send us an email if you make a reservation at the Aster, and we’ll get you a download code…and (if the stars align) a free hard copy of the EP on March 7.

We’re excited to kick some Aster on March 7.

Look out for a video coming soon.

And, of course, we’ve been recording a full length, in-studio album with Schoen Oslund of Idea Man Studios…set to spring in the summer.

Happy V-Day. We love everyone.

Andy, Becky, and all The folking Falderals

Summer/Fall Slour (slow tour) Update

It was great to play at the 331 last night (Thanks Jason and everyone at the 331) after a few shows up in the great north woods. The slour (slow-tour) will continue with some music in Milwaukee on Thanksgiving weekend at The Art Bar. Hope to see some old friends there.
