GAYNGS to play Sunday brunch practice session at Nick & Eddie on Sunday

We nearly spit out our iced white chocolate mocha when we spotted Nick and Eddie owner Doug Anderson's Facebook update a few minutes ago:

Hmm, let's think about this for a minute: Megafaun and Rosebuds (whose members are in the supergroup) are all in North Carolina right now, though Justin Vernon is technically on a break from touring with Bon Iver. Har Mar Superstar just went back to L.A. and P.O.S. is in Austin. So basically, that leaves Ryan Olson, Channey Moon Casselle, Adam Hurlburt and Zach Coulter from Solid Gold, and Mike Lewis, and Jake Luck of Leisure Birds, and just maybe Bon Iver's Justin Vernon and Mike Noyce if we're lucky. Could this be GAYNGS 2.0?

UPDATE: Ryan Olson confirms the posting to us via email, saying "We are doing a 3pm gayngs sunday brunch practice at nick n eddie. Also Habenero (sic)." We're so in.

GAYNGS' Ryan Olson + Justin Vernon share year-end lists with Pitchfork

Justin Vernon (Bon Iver, GAYNGS) and Ryan Olson (GAYNGS and Marijuana Deathsquads) were included in Pitchfork's massive year-end Guest List. Olson name drops some locals: Nick and Eddie Wednesday nights (where Marijuana Deathsquads had a regular residency for a good part of the year) and Albert Elmore, a local IDM artist/noise experimentalist, while Vernon lists GAYNGS cohorts and Eau Claire band Megafaun.

Here's a link to an mp3 of Elmore's track "Lannistumaton," which Olson calls his pick for Song of the Year.
