Diane Coffee, Modern Vices

press release: Diane Coffee, the pop project of Shaun Fleming, released his new single "Like A Child Does" at the end of March, and has also shared a new video, a playful and wildly inventive riff on the song's lyrics. V Magazine premiered the clip and also interviewed Fleming about his forthcoming new album Internet Arms. "There is sort of a sub-plot to this record where the world has been taken over by AI," he says. "Classic terminator vibes, it's like what a Diane Coffee record would sound like if I was creating it in a digital landscape."

Internet Arms is out April 19 on Polyvinyl and also includes the previously released single "Not Ready To Go."

Diane Coffee was also recently profiled by Aquarium Drunkard, discussing Internet Arms' concept of society's tangled relationship with technology. "This album isn't saying 'technology is a bad thing,' that's not what it's about," says Fleming. "It's asking these questions. I'm trying to ask the question, how do we integrate this into our lives and make something sustainable? Cause right now, our human interaction is cut down to almost nothing."

Where is the Shitty Barn?  506 E. Madison St., Spring Green (Yes, you are entering the industrial park)

Are shows kid friendly?  Children 6 years and older are welcome. Because it is an intimate concert setting that lasts 2+ hours, it is not a good place for jelly grubs and squirmy worms. We love your kids (really!), but we leave our young'uns at home and you probably should, too: If our adult patrons are disturbed, we will ask you to step outside and/or leave.  All of that said, you know your kids better than we do.  Infants/toddlers (lapable kids) do not need a ticket (all other kids do).

Dogs?  What about dogs? Please, no dogs. We're an old farm in an industrial park, and they're just not safe.

Do you take credit cards?  C'mon!  It's just a shitty barn!  Cash-money, baby! 

Do you sell food/beverages?  Enos Farms is on-hand for every show. They provide A-MAZING chow at reasonable prices, including veg and GF options. Please patronize them. We used to start a charcoal grill every show, but with Enos Farms serving such tasty food it has gone to the scrap heap. You can bring your own picnic, but leave the brats at home. Also, please no beverage carry-ins. We sell wine, beer, some soda and water at our cash bar.

Are tickets available at the door?  We strongly encourage purchasing tickets in advance.  Shows do and will sell out, though any unsold tickets will be available at the door.  It's best to check our website, Facebook page or Twitter account for the latest details about ticket availability. We never cancel a performance in advance. We can fit everyone in the Barn so the show will go on if it's raining. The weather can vary a lot within our small geographic area. So if it's storming in Madison, it can be clear in Spring Green.
