  • 97.1 KLSX Frosty, Heidi and Frank

    How much fun was that?!?

    I just got played on the Frosty, Heidi and Frank show on 97.1 KLSX for their “Should I Stay or Should I Go” thing! Six votes to stay saying I should stick it out in LA and the music business. Thank you to those seven souls whom I don’t even know that called in and said I should stay! If you’re just browsing in because you heard the show, thank you! There are 2 minute clips of the whole CD called Practical Insanity – which is what those two songs are from on the Albums page. I certainly hope you love the music enough to sign up for the mailing list and get some music or come to a show.

    If you taped the Should I Stay or Should I Go? segment, please contact me, I would love you to death to get a copy of that.

    In other news, I’m shooting the cover for Practical Insanity on Monday the 26th. So the artwork will be done soon.

    Peace.

  • Practical Insanity

    Well, the word is out. I’ve got people all over the place checking out the business plan. So Practical Insanity will become a reality for the world soon. In the meantime I really have to thank Sennheiser for highlighting me in their last Press Release!

    Also, as you look at the concert calendar, you’ll notice that August 7th will be the first show since the recording of Practical Insanity has finished. I figure it’s a great way to get a bunch of friends down for not only my upcoming Birthday, but for my friend Colin who has invited me and the band back for the second annual Colin Thompson Bash. Everyone can now stop asking when the next show in Los Angeles is: It’s August 7th.

    Since I’m antsy to get playing, I’ll start booking some low key shows until we have a solid booking agent lined up for the full-on national tour to commence later this year in support of Practical Insanity.

    The cover photo shoot will happen in the next two weeks. I’ve assembled a crew of people and we’re headed to Ed Ouellette’s Studio in Valencia CA. He’s the genius behind the camera from the cover shoot of “is this considered naked”. Also in the wind… There is the possibility of another video shoot happening really soon. Song and date have yet to be picked but there is interest from management to put another one in the can before the release of the CD and DVD.

    Come Back Soon!

  • Sennheiser press release

    Looks like the cover shoot will happen on Sunday. All the fun will be then, but until that happens, feed on this:

    I’m mentioned in the latest Sennheiser Press Release along with Sugarcult!! Read on and check it out. I’m very flattered.
