It's the 1920s and a Tennessee schoolteacher has been arrested and put on trial for teaching Darwin's Theory of Evolution.

Cold Showers have unveiled their new single and video 'Shine' today. Director Travis Waddell  describes, ''Shine's' textures are a reverent nod to MTV-era music video etherea. The 16mm footage shot between Bolinas and Point Reyes backdrops Nicola Collie's movements, a performance so immersive she nearly threw her neck out.' FLOOD debuted the video who call it, 'brighter...sounds more derivative of Spiritualized than any new wave influence they've ever toted.' Read more here.  

Today, LA's Cold Showers return with their most expressive and decisive record yet, Motionless, which sees its release on Dais Records, May 24th. They've shared a video for the album's lead, heavy-hearted single, 'Faith'. Inspired by the intimacy and voyeurism of Warhol's screen tests, Cold Showers joined with director Chris Slater to deliver a visual companion to the song and its sentiments in full color and closeness -- a mirror image of who we are, for those who cannot see, and a reminder to those who can.

Written by renowned playwright Horton Foote, THE TRIP TO BOUNTIFUL is a moving story of family, reminiscing on things that once were, and longing for home.  For Carrie Watts, her home is in Bountiful not in a cramped apartment in Houston where she lives with her son and daughter-in-law. As the play progresses, the idea of home is questioned as the characters discover home might mean something a little different than what they once thought.
