Tonight is the first night of "CLOUDLESS", a new annual music festival brought to us by our friends at The Color Awesome (thecolorawesome.com). Two nights of amazing music at The Comet Tavern here in Seattle.

Tonight is Glitterbang + Ade with DJ sets from Up Above, Cuddleup (that's me), Fist Fight, and Thee Hypercvbe. Cover is only $5 and it's 21+

Tomorrow is the first ever west coast appearance of the majestic and beautiful Mahogany with my little band and USF opening. Cover is $10 and it's 21+

The lovely people at The Color Awesome have worked tirelessly to make "CLOUDLESS" an event to remember and I'm thrilled to be a part of it. I hope to see you all there.

Coming Soon: Music From the Film CENTER OF GRAVITY

I did a full score and some songs for an indie film shot in Brazil - "Center of Gravity" or "Centro de Gravidade".
It's coming out October 18th. It's my first work for film.

You can preorder at my Bandcamp page, and you can preview the tracks on the Amazon listing.
Once released it will be available for download at all the usual online spots - iTunes, Amazon, Bandcamp et al.

Here's the spiel:

CENTER OF GRAVITY is a film written and directed by Steven Richter, with original music by Erik Blood, starring Julio Machado and Ana Carolina Lima.
The film was shot in six days in Sao Paulo, Brazil, with two cameras, a low budget and minimal crew.

Based on the story "Pity for the World", by American writer David Plante, and set in Brazil, CENTER OF GRAVITY deals with universal questions about love and our expectations toward the beloved, the thin line that simultaneously divides and unites one another.

This is Erik Blood's first work for film.
releases 18 October 2011.
