Gonzales—friend, figaro and figurative frère to Feist—is crossing the pond. Fresh from breaking the Guinness World Record for persistent performance (27 hours, 3 minutes, 44 seconds), Gonzo will deliver his choppiest chops to North America on the cusp of Autumn.
If you're scanning for a cheat sheet, or simple summation, this might help frame his portrait: Gonzales collaborates with many musicians like Feist, Peaches, Jamie Lidell and Mocky. I've added one of my favourite videos below.
Here are his dates. Stay tuned for SURPRISE guests and SURPRISE audience.
LOS ANGELES • SEP. 23 • Henry Fonda Theatre — with the Together Ensemble, presented in PianoVision
NYC • SEP. 25 • TWO SHOWS • Joe's Pub — featuring Jamie Lidell, Piano Talk Show, presented in PianoVision
MONTREAL • SEP. 26 • eXcentris Theatre — Piano Talk Show
TORONTO • SEP. 30 • The Mod Club — Piano Talk Show with surprise guests

Funny how the summation of numbers here gives 178, "without 78". Parseltongue classes here D.A. folks. Indeed. Keep training. H.P. Ben.

Hi,
I got an idea for J's next cover
I could do some minor alterations to the logo if he likes the basic concept:

Hi Leslie,
You know, I'm not really one to toot my own horn and such, but I've got a few world records myself, for instance:
Most fleas living inside a (human) ear
Most guitars played while standing on head (4)
World's longest human booger ( 32 inches)
Most tacos balanced on face
Greatest number of bowel movements in a 24 hour period
And finally: Most invisible friends
Of course, most of these world records are unverified, as yet. But someday, when I'm feeling really ambitious, and determined to secure my immortality...

I ve just read on nme.com that you're going back to the studio with Mocky next january to record a new album! great news!
I'm curious to see the new direction your music will take

Yes, great news!!!
"Mocky who is set to head into the studio with Feist in January to work on a follow-up to her 2007 album 'The Reminder', also revealed how his work with the Wu Tang Clan rapper might not be just a one-off."

Pick up à Gonzales qui accompagne le film sur Serge Gainsbourg signé Joann Sfar sortie prévue Janvier 2010. Je me rappelle avoir vu sur Télématin le reportage sur la performance record du monde de l'artiste !
For the presentation and an exclusive exquisite tailored trailer:
