Remember how in the last tour update I posted, there was some conflicting info? Here's a new-and-hopefully-improved list of Buckner's upcoming tour with The Six Parts Seven (label site / myspace), with new info from Ground Control Touring, Merge Records and Pollstar. According to the Randy Bacon Gallery Sounds blog, The Six Parts Seven, aside from performing on their own, "will also pull

Recently I got an e-mail from Albert P. Pappalardo, who had a regional San Francisco variety TV series in the 1990s called Fog Town Network. Albert put up some clips from the program onto YouTube, including one from a session Richard Buckner played for the show. Watch RB performing "The Worst Way" (Bloomed) from January 1994:[direct link to the video at YouTube]Thanks, Albert!

Merge Records has a list for Richard Buckner's first shows of 2007. The tour starts next month and it looks like all of the dates will also feature The Six Parts Seven (one of my favorite current bands, by the way) on the bill. (Here's the 6p7 MySpace page -- autoplays audio.)These are all new shows, and I'm not sure if RB will be playing by himself or with Doug Gillard again, but the website

Back on September 13th, Richard Buckner performed a live set with Doug Gillard at Minnesota Public Radio station "The Current" before doing a show in Minneapolis that night. They played three songs, all from the latest album Meadow: "Lucky," "Spell," and "Kingdom." RB also chatted with host Steve Seel about (among other things) making the record, songwriting, and being genetically prone to

Just checked Ground Control Touring to find a couple of Buckner shows this weekend. He's not the only one on the bill for these two dates.

Last month I mentioned Buckner's tour diary written for Merge's blog. He's written some new entries since then, so I've compiled them all into a running list/index, sort of like the concert dates."Incoherencies" - Richard Buckner's Tour Diary(Listed by posting date, in chronological order.

According to Ground Control Touring, there are some new shows since the last update (one's actually tonight, and one happened Sunday, but I've left them both in the list below for history's sake).

I was surfing around the Merge Records website and found a link to an official Merge blog, Oh Merge. So I clicked on it, and the very top entry (as of now) is by none other than Buckner. Apparently it's already the third entry of a tour diary he's calling "Incoherencies." It looks as though someone at Merge posts on his behalf after he writes them. Here are the previous two entries: his

Meadow, Buckner's newest album (produced by J.D. Foster), will be out September 12th. Track listing and more details are at Merge and you can also pre-order the CD from Amazon.In support of the new release, there'll be lots of new concerts all across the U.S. and to a few major Canadian cities.

More concerts as Richard Buckner works his way back east. According to the Merge Records site, Doug Gillard -- the guitarist from the band Guided By Voices -- will accompany Buckner on all of the following shows. (I'm not sure if Gillard will have his own act, but the site says, "w/ Doug Gilliard (from Guided by Voices) on Guitar!" (BTW, his name is actually Gillard, not Gilliard). In any case

Here's an updated list of scheduled Buckner concerts, thanks to new data from Pollstar. It appears that most -- if not all -- of the shows will be with Anders Parker.

It's because I prefer to keep a changelog of the concerts, instead of replacing the old info. It gives a better sense of the show history.]I've been checking the Merge Records site every couple of days this

I was looking at Aero Booking's site to check on the latest Buckner shows, but to my surprise, Richard Buckner's name isn't even listed there anymore. Hmm. According to his section at Merge Records, he has a few shows soon, starting in Brooklyn on May 4th, and a few others in NJ, NC and VA. Some of them are with Anders Parker.Anyone know RB's new booking agent?

Richard Buckner is the in-studio guest scheduled for this Monday, Nov. 8th on Morning Becomes Eclectic with Nic Harcourt on KCRW. He's scheduled to perform in the 11 o'clock hour, so try to tune in at or before 11 a.m. Pacific time / 2 p.m. Eastern. You can listen online (there may also be streaming video), just head over to the KCRW site. For folks in and around Southern California, the

Yeah, most of you know this, but the latest album Dents and Shells was released on the Merge label on October 12th. I haven't been able to listen to the entire CD yet, but I've heard two tracks ("Her" and "A Chance Counsel") played often on KCRW and so far I like what I hear. You can pick up the album on CD at good music stores everywhere or directly from Merge Records or download it from

That's right, an edited version of Richard Buckner's song "Ariel Ramirez" is featured in one of the latest television ads for Volkswagen's Touareg (a.k.a. the VW SUV). (Thanks to Lauren from the Doubters list for making the original post.) About the first half of the song is used. If you're curious as to how the VW commercial version is different from the original song, I'll explain that in a

Okay, so in lieu of a comprehensive page of Richard Buckner's gear, here's a post to help get the ball rolling. Things to keep in mind as you read the list: In terms of how stuff got included in the list: Basically, I made notes (either mental or on paper) when I attended his shows, and I gleaned much information from photographs, various Buckner interviews/press/media I've seen, and of

At least, it seems as though Buckner has a tour going all the time, especially these days before the new album arrives in a few months. So remember to check tour dates! Pollstar can be behind sometimes, and sometimes not. So don't just rely on Pollstar...to be thorough, check Davis McLarty and the Merge site too. Links are in the 'Recommended' sidebar.

In reply to a message I wrote to the Doubters list, I received messages from Stephen, letting me knowing about his articles about Buckner; and Randy, letting me know about the Buckner group on Yahoo. I've added the links to the articles in a new section of the Recommended Links, called "Media Coverage" (I'll probably be splitting up the coverage into various sub-sections as I collect more links)

It's been written from scratch, so not all of the previous content is available (I'm not sure if the current incarnation will allow artist links again), but I've included the new link to the left again.

Buckner is on another round of tours: look for dates all throughout the country (and even in Europe in June) on his Pollstar page. I don't know if it will be true of the entire tour, but lately he's been playing rocking electric sets with a band. His next album, called Dents and Shells, is due out October 2004! It will be released by Merge Records. I've added the label link to the left. There

That's right, he's touring all over again. Unfortunately, I missed him when he swung by L.A. and performed at the Silverlake Lounge a few weeks ago. He's playing four Tuesday nights at the IOTA in Arlington, VA in March. He'll also be at the SXSW Convention in Austin in mid-March. Check out the latest tour dates, which also include shows at the Knitting Factory in NYC, the Turf Club in St.

Specifically, more East Coast dates...and he's heading to the West Coast in January 2004! He's again back in Austin later this month before heading out on the road. Current future dates are set for within NY, VA, MA, PA, continuing through Christmastime and New Year's. The earliest West Coast date now is Jan. 21 in the L.A. area, and then SF and Seattle. As always, check Pollstar. Looks

He's been playing with a band in Austin, and next week heads out on another tour of the East Coast and some Southern states until November. Not sure yet whether the band will be with him for all of these shows. Currently there are dates in TX, LA, FL, GA, the Carolinas, VA, NY, MA and Ontario. Check Pollstar's list for details. He's back in Austin on November 1st, but based on past tour

So I did go to the RB show at McCabe's in Santa Monica (July 11th) -- all acoustic; Buckner solo; no opening act. I'll try and put up a set list soon. It was a riveting show as usual, and RB seemed to be in very good spirits and smiled more than ever. He played a number of new songs, all of which sounded like they could be from D+D or Since. A couple of them were particularly stunning. After
