Having finished 2 CDs of a 3 part trilogy The Book of Knots got together for a one time performance with the core band and a large group of fine and talented friends and musicians. I can't recommend this band highly enough. Buy Traineater and check out the band at their website.

I really don't know much about The Book Of Knots, but they make insane Music!

Do they have albums like a normal band, and if yes where can i find 'em?

[mitch26]

There are 2 Book of Knots CDs currently and a 3rd is rumored to be forthcoming. One of the releases is on Anti, don't have the other one handy right now but I'm sure if you google you will find it right away. This concert covered songs from both CDs, I've posted well over half the show.

Thank you very much, they are Insane musicians, they could come very close to tom waits ;)

Carla Kihlstedt who plays here has accompaniment with Tom on a few of his recordings.

This project is full of great ideas, talent and potential. The performance is very improv and the recording quality is as good as audience shot gets, so one's got to give it some credit for that. I uploaded one clip off this recording also. Questionable if we are doing them favor by doing so. The audio is distorted by overload clipping, not much can be done there as to fix it, but the image format/resolution can be adjusted & corrected, you might think about that.

My only position in this regard is that it was my intention to garner greater exposure for this fine performance, I certainly went way out of my way to attend it and was more than happy to do so. I imagine financial constraints may have played a part in the show not being commercially rendered. I would be happy to buy a copy of one. This copy was seeded for a bit on peer to peer, and if you're familiar with the performers you realize they're generally friendly to tapers.
