Dusting off the ol’ computer

(using a nice temporary template from ThemeLab, since the upgraded sw is not compatible with old template code)

Hey there! Well, after letting them rot on various hard drives for almost a year, I’ve decided to up and finish the 10 songs we recorded and release them as an album called ‘Isolated Twins’ on January 10th, 2009.

What the hell happened and why the sudden urge to finish? Probably a lot of reasons…

  • Hung out at Eric Neal’s birthday party/artist in residence gig at dada the other week and saw a lot of old friends who each told me to “just finish the damn thing for chrissakes”
  • Had a few close friends move away and wanted to be able to mail them something
  • Had a few close friends complete their solo albums and laff at my laziness
  • Spent a great teal of time focusing on my day job and neighborhood
  • Turning 40 in January – It’s over Johnny… It’s OVER!

Been tweaking a lot of takes, re-judging performances, re-doing some vocals, writing a lot of new lyrics, etc. Need to have Joe come over for one more geetar part and have Russell from Oliver’s Army drop by for a duet and theramin.

Will keep ya updated. I am hoppy-cited again!

Harvey Barham – City of Champions

City of ChampionsJust finished a new site to promote the new cd from Gentlemen Losers’ Harvey Barham.

It’s a cool blend of Americana with folks like Joe Schwartzott and Matt Kellum helping out.

Check out harveybarham.com and then buy the cd.

New Airline Video

Excellente! One of my fave local bands/friends Airline are releasing a new cd in a month or so and have just put out a new video “She’s Wasted”. Great stuff – Beatlesque keys, uniquely epic song structure and great dynamics.

Well this is too cool. Fever in the Funkhouse are reuniting for a New Year’s Eve show at Club Dada!

I’m not sure what lineup they will have but I’ll be there for sure. The last time they played at dada it was just Nick Briscoe and Chris Clairidy. Hoping they have the full band this time.

You can hear some tunes on their myspace page.
