Me and my band will be playing the Sunset Tavern at 12:30am (yep, closing out the shit), which is great for me because I get to go see a ton of amazing artists during the day (OC Notes, Chocolate Chuck, Posse, Grave Babies, Haunted Horses, and the list goes on.)

Hope to see you there.

Don't you forget about me!!!

Driving it home, once again, BRING YOUR ASS to the Reverb Festival this Saturday! So many amazing bands, including mine! See what Seattle Weekly says about it.

7:30 p.m. ~ Erik Blood Erik Blood must have taken all this renewed Beatles fervor to heart, because he's getting by with a little help from his friends. In assembling his seven-piece backing band, Blood's swiped members from his former band the Turn-Ons, his current band the Little Penguins, a guy from Coulter, and another one from Altspeak. It seems the benefit of being a producer/artist is getting to poach your favorite musicians to work on your own project. This set will feature all the great tracks off his fabulous debut The Way We Live and a yet-to-be-recorded track about adult cinema, which promises to be the prettiest song about porno you've ever heard.

That's at The Sunset Tavern in Ballard, by the way. Right before me and my band is Telepathic Liberation Army who are not to be missed. Other suggestions from me are Brent Amaker & the Rodeo, Fresh Espresso, Levator, Cute Lepers, Tea Cozies, Coconut Coolouts, and Redwood Plan, all of which are kind of happening around the same time as each other so you can't lose, but you can never really win.

Also, my girls from THEE Satisfaction are back in town to perform for us at NY Fashion Academy at 9:30. If you haven't seen them, you really need to. They'll put a smile on the most sullen face and bring a sway to the most rigid hips.

It's true. I need a day job.

Ever since being "dissolved" from a wonderful day job at a little software company, I've been steadily searching for a new regular source of income. At first, I spent a lot of time looking for something as perfect as the last job. Then, as the months passed and the money went away, I started looking at jobs I would rather not do, but wouldn't be too depressed to perform. Months after that, anything will do. And to make matters worse, it seems that anything will do for EVERYONE in Seattle.


I'm constantly looking for more work in the studio, but this economy is effecting bands and artists just as hard, if not harder than everyone else. Paying the bills is becoming a nightmare reminiscent of my early 20's when I accrued so much debt I had resolved myself to a life of bad credit and creditor calls. I got myself out of that mess (with a little help from Amazon.com) and now I fear it's coming back to get me.

My dear friend, Ma'Chell Duma-LaVassar has taken it upon herself to make a public plea for my employment on Seattle Weekly's music blog Reverb. Click HERE to see it.

I'm very serious about this! If you're in a band and you want to make a record, hit me up! Otherwise, until music starts paying the bills, I need to get my ass in someone's office, warehouse, or delivery vehicle STAT!
