Robyn Hitchcock To Release Concert Film And Live Album

(PR) Robyn Hitchcock will release concert film and live album I Often Dream of Trains in New York on November 10, 2009 on Yep Roc Records.

I Often Dream of Trains in New York was filmed live at Symphony Space in New York City in the fall of 2008 during the U.S. leg of Hitchcock's highly anticipated I Often Dream of Trains Tour. Deftly shot by acclaimed director John Edginton (The Pink Floyd and Syd Barrett Story) and originally aired on the Sundance Channel, this concert film DVD and accompanying audio CD captures the cult songwriting icon recreating one of his most intimate and haunting albums in its entirety.

Robyn is joined by Trains tour mates Terry Edwards (vocals, keyboards, trumpet, soprano sax, guitar) and Tim Keegan (vocals, guitar) as well as guests Gaida Hinnawi (vocals) and Amir El Saffar (trumpet) from the Robyn-led band seen in Jonathan Demme's stunning film Rachel Getting Married. As its title suggests, I Often Dream of Trains is a glimpse into the phantasmagorical mind of the artist himself. And I Often Dream of Trains in New York captures him fantastically raw and singularly in-the-moment � in other words, quintessentially�.Hitchcock.

This release will also receive the deluxe package treatment from Yep Roc in the form of a working phenakistoscope with artwork by Robyn.
Hitchcock will be in the United States beginning October 2nd, performing with the Venus 3 at the Austin City Limits festival and later that weekend on Oct. 4th in San Francisco's Golden Gate Park at the Hardly Strictly Bluegrass Festival. He will follow these appearances with a select run of tour dates.
