Django Haskins

In 2018, Haskins released Shadowlawn, his first solo effort in fifteen-plus years.

In 2013, Haskins figured prominently in the formation of the progressive musical organization the NC Music Love Army, an activist group of artists co-founded by solo artist and producer Jon Lindsay and Caitlin Cary, of Whiskeytown.

In 2013, Django met The Jayhawks' Gary Louris while performing the music of Big Star in Chicago. They hit it off and soon thereafter began co-writing, eventually forming a duo called Au Pair. They released an album, One-Armed Candy Bear, in 2016 on the Nashville label, Thirty Tigers, and played shows in NYC, DC, LA, Chicago, MPLS, Chapel Hill, ATL, and (with Wilco) WV's Mountain Stage. A second album is reportedly in the works.

The Old Ceremony released their first recording - a self-titled, 12 track album, featuring fan favorites including "American Romeo", "Ole" and "Blood and Oil" - in 2005. In October 2006, released a new album called Our One Mistake. Songs on this album include "Poison Pen", "Reservations" and "Bao Qian" (a song written almost entirely in Mandarin Chinese). Our One Mistake was released by NYC indie label sonaBLAST! Records (headed by Gill Holland). They have subsequently toured extensively and released four other albums, including two on Yep Roc Records.

Haskins' third album, Over Easy Smoke Machine, a mix of his solo work and tracks featuring the Regulars, was recorded in NYC and his adopted hometown of Chapel Hill, NC, and released in 2003.

In 2003, Haskins formed International Orange alongside Robert Sledge (ex-bassist for Ben Folds Five), Britt "Snuzz" Uzzell (former member of Bus Stop) and drummer Jason Fagg (under various alternative aliases). The band played over 100 shows across North America, consisting of songs written by each of the 3 song-writing members (Django, Robert and Britt) before and after the formation of the band. The band released one recording, a six track EP - Spoon Box - in 2004, which featured 2 Django compositions - Folding Stars opener "Hand to Mouth" and new song "Alone". The band parted company in early 2005 to pursue separate projects, though Britt and Robert continued to play together with drummer Eddie Walker in NC cover band Walrus until later that year. The band parted on good terms and are still in touch and it has been suggested that a CD compiled of their many live recordings may someday be released.

In 1996, Django returned to America, setting up base in New York City, releasing his first album, Folding Stars, in 1998, and performing in a number of successful solo shows in various downtown New York institutions.
