Aubrey and Gregg of Golden Gardens were interviewed for the No Goddamn Dancing blog and were asked about the upcoming ‘Brickbat Boat’ event:

Did they have anything to do with this late-night, shoegaze/goth/ethereal-themed cruise down the Willamette River that I’ve been hearing about?

A: Nope! That was entirely organized by DJ Wednesday and DJ Curatrix, the ladies of Brickbat Mansion, a monthly shoegaze/ethereal/dreampop night in Portland. We met them when we played a show at The Lovecraft Bar (where Brickbat is hosted) in December of 2011. We’ve been good friends for a while and they regularly spin our music at their monthly night. 

The cruise is going to be extra fancy – DJ Wednesday has been friends with Suzanne Perry of the band Love Spirals Downwards (one of my favorite voices in music of all time) for years and has arranged for her to come up and perform at the event. This is exciting enough on its own, as Love Spirals Downwards’ material hasn’t been performed live in quite some time, but what’s even more exciting is that Suzanne has requested for us to be her “backing band” for the night! So, in addition to playing a regular set of our original music, we will be teaming up with her to play a set of LSD songs. It’s a dream come true for sure; it’s going to be a really special event.
