A group I play in, Kalamazoo Drone Society, put out a song today for John Cage's 112th birthday.

Even though we've been playing out for two years, this still feels like my "new" band. This is from a quick session we did at the studio space we practice at the same time we did the last song we posted. This was one of the last things the guitarist and I worked on in our prior band but never finished enough to play live.

My band, Special Deluxe put out an album a couple of weeks ago that I'm incredibly proud of.

The Bismarck put out our 8th album last year! Here is the corresponding documentary of how it was done!

Had a short piano performance for an LGBTQ event at a local Unitarian Universalist congregation tonight:

a new collection of semi-improvisational sketches, this time for electro-acoustic guitar, wurlitzer electric piano, and maestro rhythm king drum machine. lots of space echo, lots of tape hiss and warble, and lots of leaving things up to chance.

i'm releasing this album as part of bandcamp's fundraiser to support musicians affected by the recent LA wildfires. this one's deeply personal; the palisades were my home for nine years and watching them burn was, and remains, an absolute gut-punch.

on friday, february 7th -- which is likely when you're reading this -- 100% of bandcamp's proceeds will be donated to musicares. musicares provides emergency financial aid, mental health support, and essential health services to artists in need. i'll also be making a separate donation to wildfire relief efforts.

thanks for reading and thanks for listening. don't quit.

That was awesome, thanks for posting

Enjoyed both the Hex and Hench stuff!

It's not a very convenient time to be getting a loud rock band itch but that's how it goes sometimes. Stoner/boogie riffs thru my trusty Futureman pedal. Might add vocals later though I dread that part.

Ty all so much for the kind words!

Future Living's Get Vasectomy LP is out today. LPs available on Bandcamp, streaming everywhere you can listen to Counterparts or Presto. Recorded and mixed over Labor Day weekend 2024 w/ Jon San Paolo at Electrical.

We'll be at Thundersnow next week, followed by Bell's in Kzoo on 3/29 and some other places in May.
