Every Never is Now!
First things first: The tour is going really, really well. After a predictably odd start at the Black Sheep in Colorado Springs (which, to be fair, was due mostly the city's unfortunate role as a Bermuda Triangle of military outposts and right-wing Evangelical power), we've had an amazing couple of sold out shows in Denver and Salt Lake City. Following tonight's second consecutive SLC show, we head to Boise, Missoula, and Vancouver, where we get to mingle with Winter Olympic-going crowd. Should be wonderful! That's all for now...please excuse me while I go back to eating this Tofu salad and listening to Mazzy Star. Rap life, baby!
Rhymesayers and Justin Timberlake!!
I'm fighting a dying laptop battery and a growing laundry list of things to take care of here at the studio before we hit the road later this week, so I'll keep this short.
Today was a good day.
Rhymesayers announced that my cohort Grieves is their newest artist!! and Justin Timberlake likes what we do!! That is all.
Studio Interlude
Following a remarkably successful homespun video shoot Grieves and I have transitioned into AK Studios for the next several days. We're currently tracking a song for the next full length record that. is. really. cool. I can't wait to share this with you!
Oh, and there's a BIG announcement coming tomorrow.
PUTS, the Midwest, and More!!
First things first: I want to give a huge thank you to People Under The Stairs for having us along on their short East Coast run last weekend. The 4 dates were all sold out, with an incredible capacity showing at the amazing Bowery Ballroom in New York. It was a wonderful way to spend 14 hours at home, playing in front of over 800 enthusiastic, welcoming folks. Wonderful.
Following the PUTS dates, Grieves and I hustled our way through 70 degree warmth, sleet, snow, ice, and wind to get to Columbia, MO for our first headlining show in quite some time. The crowd was...intimate...but incredibly warm and appreciative. It was a great night, despite dealing with the effects of some fatigue from the marathon journey.
After Columbia, we headed back out into the unwelcoming weather for another hair-raising drive to Fort Collins, CO. We're hiding out here, putting work in the studio on some sessions for the next full-length Grieves record, and grinding out some top-secret video work in our spare time. I've also been finishing up the final mixes for the upcoming A.R.M. EP, with some incredibly exciting feature work that will hopefully help us bring the A.R.M. movement to a whole new audience of folks;)
Oh, and the P.O.S. tour starts next week in Colorado Springs. If you're thinking, considering, pondering, or musing about coming out to one of the shows, I suggest trying to track down pre-sale tickets, as this one might verge on sold-out most nights. Just a head's up. That's all for now, friends! I've got a couple of new tunes up in the music player to the right. Enjoy!
