NEARfest 2011 Cancelled
vonFrickle is sad to announce that the 2011 NEARFest has been canceled. From the organizers: "It is our sad duty to inform you that 2011 edition of the North East Art Rock Festival has been canceled due to a lack of ticket sales. This unfortunate result is likely the product of lower-than-expected interest in a transitional lineup of talented international acts combined with a slow-to-rebound U.S. economy. Despite utilizing our well-established avenues of communication and traditional revenue streams, including the annual Patron Program, it has become apparent that ceasing operation of NEARfest 2011 is truly the only recourse...no decisions have been made regarding the long-term future of the festival". Best wishes go out to the organizers of the festival, and apologies to fans hoping to see the band on their first east coast swing. Optional east coast shows are being considered...

Hello Goodbye
vonFrickle welcomes Nathan Parks...
vonFrickle is pleased to announce the addition of pianist/keyboardist Nathan Parks to the band's lineup. Nathan has previously been involved with the band, opening a few live dates as a solo act, as well as playing on and providing the cover artwork for the latest release, vonFrickle. Nathan's immense talent and creativity will continue to move vonFrickle in new ways. He will be taking over in some respects for departing bassist & multi-instrumentalist Dan Meyer who, after nearly 6 years as a Frickle, has decided to leave the band to dedicate more time to other projects. We wish Dan well in his new endeavors.
