  • National Celibacy Day

    It’s November 2nd: National Celibacy Day!

    October has come and gone. I’ve been working on booking a few more shows and preparing the band for the onslaught that should be starting early next year.

    This week is prep week for the upcoming show on Nov. 6th. The band has it’s setlist and I’m busy getting the loops and synths ready on click tracks so we can sound extra full live. Plus I’ve got about 5 DV camera operators coming out for Molly Malones. We’ll be video taping the whole show. I’m planning on including the live footage as part of the DVD of Practical Insanity when it’s released. Also, one of the songs we’re doing on the 6th is from A Natural Leap Forward – I’ll likely turn that into a music video via the concert footage so that I can post it here on the website.

    I’m also keeping the fingers crossed for Nov. 7th. I’d like to win for both songs, but the competition in each category is pretty stiff. Say a little kind word for me and who knows if enough people say it, I could walk away with a nice little addition to my house and my career.

    Please keep coming back to the website to check on the new updates and shows. As things start to heat up I’ll be posting a lot more.

    p.s. – due to the demand for the Frosty, Heidi, and Frank show audio, I’m making it an addition to the music page so that you can hear it all you want without searching the news archives.

    p.p.s. – January 1st could bring something really cool.

  • KFLI Radio Interview

    Welcome to month of all-hollows-eve… Did I even spell that right? Anyway, it’s a cool October that’s brewing up.

    First off, I’ve found an old interview I did from radio station KFLI out of Arizona. It was for the E.A.R. CD and is funny for it’s grass-roots feel. I really have to give kudos for KFLI and the DJ for having me on. It was a treat.

    Second, I have started booking shows for the fall and will continue to add shows as information becomes available, the first is coming October 26th in beautiful Venice CA. Please come on back and find out if I’m coming to a venue near you.

    Third, the new version of the website is very near. I had a discovery last night that will help expedite the method I wanted to use for a special new section to the website. I’m still debating on whether or not to launch the website in advance of the release of “Practical Insanity” or if I should just wait until the street date of the CD.

    The song I wrote with Lindy Robbins and Johnny Elkins for the Oneness organization has been finished. It’s called “In Disguise”. I’ll work on putting up a 2 minute clip of it somewhere on the website in the near future. The interesting thing is that I’ve heard it would be good for Clay Aiken or Hillary Duff. I’d be strangely happy if it got recorded by either one of them.

    In the mean time, I’m rehearsing the songs for the live show. If you’re still interested in hearing the wonderful comments from the Frosty, Heidi and Frank Should I Stay or Should I Go? <– then follow that link I just pointed to!

    Enjoy

  • More shows

    You’re probably hoping to hear the Frosty, Heidi and Frank stuff for Should I Stay or Should I Go? <– that’s the link, hint hint. G’head play it and have fun listening to what everyone had to say.

    Yes, there are shows in the works. Look above and you’ll see a couple of things listed. But c’mon back as more are going to be added soon.

    I’ve had a chance to see the initial pictures for the CD/DVD package for “Practical Insanity”. I think it’s going to really be a different concept. I can’t wait to see the final outcome. Stay tuned, I’ll probably post some FPO’s of the cover in the next few weeks.
