Gigs, gigs and more gigs!
I’ve relocated to New York City (Brooklyn), loving it and hit the ground running with cools gigs this weekend. Shortly thereafter, I will leave for San Francisco for gigs and recording sessions with The Bodice Rippers, Joe Rut, Dylan Champagne and my own Sonic Demons mayhem. AND I finally get to [...]
…played a really great gig this past saturday night with Joe Rut’s Super Burrito – which adds the smokin’ fiddling of Jason Klineberg, the fat bass of Dave Jess, homemade trap drumming of Bernie Jungle and myself on electric guitar to Joe’s great songs, voice and guitar playing.
This is a group of people that [...]
…played two really great gigs last week. The first was Lumper/Splitter, the duo-guitar improvised soundscape project that Joe Rut and I hatched four or five years ago. Lumper/Splitter rarely performs these days, but Joe and I have a great rapport and our set at the Luggage Store Gallery this past Thursday showed that. We performed [...]
I am presently enjoying a Young’s Double Chocolate Stout, recommended by my musical comrade, Rob Price. Rob is a wicked guitar player and beer aficionado, amongst other fine things in life. As to the Double Chocolate – it is hard to only sip. In fact, I admit to taking several large gulps.
But I digress. The [...]

Albany CA is a sleepy little city that is part of the East Bay just north of Berkeley. A mostly ‘middle class’ (for the SF Bay Area) kinda place where people raise kids without the fears of many modern urban dwellers. It has a conservative 1950s feel to it, and from what I hear the [...]
I’ve got some SF Bay area shows and a short West Coast tour with two extremely talented NYC based players, Rob Price and David Grollman. Every time we’ve performed our brand of NY improv/noise it has really clicked.
Do come to a show – there are none planned beyond this, although some will pop up, [...]
Sometimes a theme comes at you from all angles and this past week it was art for art’s sake.
Last night I took in the animated film, Persepolis. It is an adaptation of the memoir by Marjane Satrapi and tells the story of a girl growing up in Tehran before, during and after the Iranian Revolution. [...]
3 sets at the 2nd Boise Experimental Music Festival!
1st was a trio improv with Joe Rut on guitars and things, Krispen Hartung on Max MSP warped vocal and myself on Noise Swash. Very fun.
2nd was an improv with Rob Price and Dave Grollman, who I had been touring in support of for the past week. [...]

They have an antique record cutter and are inviting YOU, the public, to join them and weekly special guests (me, Joe Rut and John [...]
