Back in the studio

Back in the studio with my friend Travis DeVries starting tomorrow. His debut solo album, Death to God, is available on iTunes and if you're in NYC you can check out DeVries live. Go to his myspace page to find out more. The demos for the new material are fantastic so here's hoping I can do them justice.

Next up, I'll be in the studio with Telepathic Liberation Army. Holy hotness!

And when the weather's cold and shitty, I'll be warm and happy in the studio with The Moondoggies. Little glimpses at the new material at their summer shows have me salivating.

I'm also working on my next record. I'm hoping to have the material together in time to start recording early in the new year.

HAPPY DIRTY 30 to my guitarist Michael Ellsworth! You don't look a day over 29.

Travis DeVries' album "Death to God" Coming Soon

Though the release date is yet to be official, Travis DeVries' debut solo album "Death to God" is starting to get some airplay on KEXP. I am assured by my friend at Noise on Noise Records that it will be released this spring.


Some may find it funny that once Travis and I decided to make solo albums, we also decided to have the rest of The Turn-ons perform on them, but can you really blame us? You can hear me, Corey, Will, and the magnificent return of Sharon Oshima on "Death to God" filling out Travis's strongest song writing to date. Travis told me he's got a band together in NYC and the show dates are starting to pop up on his Myspace page (you want to go to there).

This album took a really long time to finish, mainly because of the wealth of material Travis presented for consideration. Travis's sometimes overwhelming desire for perfection added a few weeks to the process, but always for the greater good. In the end, I think we put together a beautiful and haunting piece of music that's going to demand recognition.
