A couple shows in February
I’ll be playing with Steve Laciak & Friends at the Fireside Lounge in Alameda on Saturday, February 11th. Expect some combination of guitar, glockenspiel, and hip-hop. Oh yeah.
A couple days later, I’ll be playing with Tawnee Kendall and the Hangover Brigade at the Red Devil Lounge, Tuesday, February 14th. That’s right, Valentine’s Day. Our band is the featured artist at their open mic, and I’ll sneak in a couple solo songs while I’m there, too. Come get your heart on with us.

Show time!
The first short film I scored, Ours is playing this Thursday, 12/01/11, at the Roxie Theater in SF @ 7pm, as part of Still Around. A number of the other filmmakers will also be there, if you’d like to join us!! Since the last time it played here in SF, it has screened in Prague, Czech Republic; Seattle; Milwaukee; and Bern, Switzerland. It’s playing tonight in Hamburg, and has upcoming screenings in South Africa, LA, Chicago, and many other places.
The more recent film, Bug Chaser, recently screened at the Dark Carnival Film Festival in Bloomington, IN, and I’m excited for more (and local) dates to start being announced.
I also recently recorded an album playing lead guitar on the amazing Tawnee Kendall‘s upcoming debut album. We’ll be playing our first show together at the Rockit Room on Saturday, Dec 17th, at 8pm. Come see us, and hear how awesomely we rock.

A recent review of its World Premiere in Boston described it, saying “The best films in this outstanding anthology give us … [t]he drama, dangers, and enrichment of finding out who you are–and laying claim to it–without letting labels get in the way.”

Stasis is a palindrome
Just to be silly, I mixed a version of the song where it plays forward & backward at the same time. It might even sound a little bit cooler than the original. =)
