Summer plans

Well, hello friends!

It's been a minute, hasn't it? The biggest thing I must mention to you is that WE'RE HEADLINING AT OFF BROADWAY! I'm super-excited! (Can you tell?) It'll be Monday, July 14 (Bastille Day!)--doors at 7:30, show at 8p. $7. Here's the EXTRA-SPECIAL thing about this show, though: we're playing a set with ONLY toy instruments. Steve got a Hello Kitty drum kit from Toys R Us for the show, for example. It's pretty bitchin'. We'll also have several guest musicians sitting in with us on various toy instruments, too! It's gonna be AWESOME, and we've got a few tricks up our sleeves that you don't want to miss. It's the ONLY TIME this will happen, so if you're in STL and can come, I highly recommend you do. Opening for us (with not-toy instrument sets) will be Traveling Sound Machine (my drummer Steve's new band--he plays guitar and sings with them, though. It's their first show ever! They're sounding awesome, too!) and Kid Scientist (also from STL; '90s-inspired piano rock. I saw them open for Ben Kweller not too long ago at Off Broadway in fact, and had to ask them to open for us. They rock so hard!). In short, it'll be worth all 700 of those pennies you'll be throwing down to come to the show.

What else is new? Oh, we have a new video for our newest song "Going Down." If you've seen us live recently, you've seen Steve play the bowed musical saw for this tune, which he also does in the video, which was shot at Melt. It also features both Jason and Morgan, our buds in Bruiser Queen, a STL-based garage rock duo. If you haven't heard them, definitely check out their stuff--it's a rockin' good time! The video was shot by local videographer Craig Deeken--thanks so much, Craig!

That's about all I got for now. Go watch the new video, and don't miss the show on July 14, STL folks. I'll see you there!

Music Video Is Up! And More Stuff, Too!

It has been too long, my sweet Cuenicorns! Here's an update:

The video for our song "Who's Comin' With Me?!" is finally up on Youtube. It was filmed at one of my favorite spots in St. Louis, a shop called the STL Stylehouse on Cherokee Street. Go watch the video here.
Here are a couple still shots from the video:




What else: I'll be playing a solo gig this Saturday, February 22nd at Lemmons (STL), along with Jason Vargas Music Project. He's a great dude who's been around our music scene for a long time, so I'm excited to finally play a show with him! Cover's $5, usually they're 21+ there, and show's probably gonna start around 9 or 10. And as usual, I'll be at Venice Cafe on the first Thursday of the month for my ongoing "3 Bands For 3 Bucks" series--doors at 9, show at 9:30.

More fun stuff coming up soon, but hopefully that'll hold you over. Don't forget to check the Facebook page for the most up-to-date news, and subscribe to the email list, if you're into that sort of thing.
