Music, music, music

In case you missed my appearance at Pete’s Candy Store last week, I’ve put up a couple of tracks at my brand-new music page. Also, a couple of tracks from the Rocky Sullivan’s show you also missed back in January, plus one song that I recorded way back when with the band formerly known as Ambulance. (When it turned out there was already a band called Ambulance, we broke up rather than find a new name.) Think of it as like a MySpace page, only without all the, you know, MySpaciness.

Pete’s Candy Store, next Wednesday

May 11th, 2010

If you missed my two-night musical tour of Brooklyn back in January, here’s your chance to make amends: I’ll be performing a set in support of the insanely fabulous Tatters and Rags (descendants of the equally fabulous The Victoria Lucas) at 11 pm sharp at Pete’s Candy Store in Williamsburg, next Wednesday, May 19. And I’ll be accompanied for the occasion by David Dyte on slide guitar, making this an incredibly rare partial reunion of the never-lived band 37 Dead Clerks (no MySpace link, sorry — what part of “never-lived” didn’t you understand?).

Tatters and Rags is the headliner but actually goes on first, making me the … closing act? The appendix? In any case, show up for their set at 10, as you won’t regret it. And we’ll all be done by midnight, I promise, so no need for worries there.

Known to rock the microphone

January 8th, 2010

For those of you in New York City and environs, I’m going to be returning from my long hiatus from live music the week after next, performing songs from my never-to-be-released CD “More Songs About Buildings and Gentrification.” I’ll be opening for my friend Scott MX Turner (aka Rebelmart) at two shows, at Freddy’s in Prospect Heights on Tuesday 1/19, and at Rocky Sullivan’s in Red Hook on Friday 1/22. Both shows start at 8 pm, and I go on first, then stick around to accompany Scott on his set. There Will Be Melodicas!
