If you live in/near Seattle..

We are playing the High Dive on October 4. Be there. Please.

still at it.

two new recordings done on the old tape 4-track portastudio. it sure felt good to play around with cassette tapes (until it got really frustrating for a while, but that was only temporary). it was recorded this past week and i think i am already nostalgic on it.

the first song is a new one. the second is a new recording of an old, old song.

made in the fucking shade

god-fearing fruit

here is the new "single." picture a cool, new vinyl 7" tucked into a nice paper sleeve with awesome cover art. then hit play and listen to it on some shitty computer speakers.

fiery little bits (the return)

forgot to post this one on here. going to be recording more stuff soon, plus have a pile of recordings waiting to be put together...

feel gud tunes

new stuff coming soon

memorabilia

looking to burn all that money ya got? look no further.

Antiquated Future has all sorts of wares that you didn't realize you needed, including AYA tapes.

seriously though, they've got some way cool stuff and good jams.

and then there were drums.

much more coming soon.

a place to be loud

whatever it is, it's not dead.

this serves as proof of life. more music to come.

fiery little bits

something new.

Feral Children

These guys are fucking good.

I caught their "warm-up" show last night at Add-A-Ball, a local, and very tiny, pinball bar. It was their first show in nearly three years. Coincidentally I was at their last show before moving back to the Midwest and apparently I moved back to Seattle in time to catch their next show.

Anywho, Feral Children are a totally kickass Seattle band and I wanted to acknowledge that. To me, their shows have a super rad energy and kind of a homegrown, DIY feel that makes me feel like everyone should be starting bands and having fun and whatnot.

They've got two full-length albums, Second To The Last Frontier and Brand New Blood, both of which are goddamn good and one EP, Eternity Emergency, also awesome. July will hold the release of their next album. So for the three or four people that may see this (thank you to the folks over at Pile Records), check them out.

The "Zhyghost" video doesn't have the best sound quality, but it's too rad a song to not post.

[green glass] about damn time.

finally. here is the follow-up to the smash hit super success "sorry to be leaving."

i think there is a theme here.

bandcramp

so i set one of these things up. i don't know why really, but i did.

brandcamp.

also, i expect a new little mini-album or something to be up in the next week or so.

ok, time to update my imaginary audience.

i have fired up the old 4-track again and soon will be working on two new little projects. pretty much all new songs, maybe a few reworked ones tossed in there. lo-fi, noisy, hopefully weird.

also, my main man and i are still plugging away at our new little project. like an actual band!!! but it's two dudes and guitars. we're recording some stuff now and hope to have it online pretty soon.

seattle look out.

here's some preview action of the AYA stuff coming up. the first is a recently recorded take from what we will call AYA project #1. the second is a demo from what we will call AYA project #2.

romantically thinking of simple living:

not dead

i swear.

new figures are looming on the horizon.

new things are afoot. so now i am back in seattle. because i can only move in circles. but this time around i am making noise with another human. here are a few sounds from the past few jams. i definitely dig them.

the sandra compound:

the less i do, the more i am:

proof of life

posting something for the sake of having posted something. here are a bunch of outtakes and random crap that i have been meaning to put up. it should be noted that i am aware most people probably don't care about little random leftover recordings, but i figured i'd rather just make everything available.

when i'm a star, you'll see.
you'll all see.
