2012 marks The Residents’ 40th Anniversary. With more than 60 albums to their credit – about half of those comprised of new studio material, and having pioneered in a plethora of areas ranging from independent recording to multimedia technology to innovative stage performances. Now, nearly four decades since they began their residency on this planet, The Residents are as prolific as they’ve ever been. Beginning in Mexico on March 15, 2011 and winding up in San Francisco – their home base – a month later, the group will head out on the latest leg of their Talking Light tour, which began in January 2010. As they make their way from town to town, The Residents will be selling a DVD entitled Randy’s Ghost Stories (MVD Entertainment Group) featuring videos of eight ghost stories presented throughout the tour plus two bonus videos. The band will also have for sale a CD of instrumental music titled Dolar Generar, and a new CD, Lonely Teenager, the origin of which stems from the ongoing tour.
