Return of Burly Band

2008-04-30T03:04:32Z

This time, Paul brought home his "work guitar" so I'd have a nylon string to play. What you see is fueled by Shiner Bock, as well as the spicy lemongrass beef at the Sunflower Vietnamese restaurant we went to for dinner. "Brandy" was the long-s...

Burly Band in Austin, TX

2008-03-23T04:57:47Z

Thanks to a work trip to our Austin office, I was finally able to meet up with Paul Sonnenberg, one of my first YouTube friends. Although we only had a few hours, somehow we managed to squeeze in a video. I really love that Alvarez acoustic Paul ...

The Galaxie is a great arts center run by my friend Nicolle Wood, who also happens to be a superb dancer and dance teacher. Once a month the center is having a Date Nite event, and last night my friends Rhythm Futur played for an appreciative crow...

New Year's Eve 2008 at Coobah with Bossa Saravah

2008-01-04T21:46:01Z

The only reason to be out on NYE is because you've got a gig, and this year we did have one. The place was packed, as expected, and a few people even seemed to be listening. I'm not much for holidays in general, and NYE in particular seems like a ...

Tiger Moon - I'm officially in!

2007-12-31T17:20:29Z

It's really impossible for most musicians I know to only be in one band; there's too much material to cover. I've known and played with Kevin (guitar) for 8 years, Jodi (voice and piano) for about 2 years, Janet (drums) for just over a year. I'...

Bossa Saravah in Austin (minus me)

2007-12-03T04:37:47Z

Three-fourths of Bossa Saravah spent Thanksgiving in Austin, Texas, this year. I couldn't go, and hate traveling on Thanksgiving more than traveling on any other holiday, so it was fine by me. They played a couple of nights at La Dolce Vita, than...

New cats: meet Max and Benny

2007-11-12T03:22:08Z

OK, I won't bore anyone (least of all myself) with how cute the new kittens are, but they've only been here less than a day and they've settled in well. Red Door Shelter seems to be a good place; they have a lot of rabbits, if anyone needs a rabb...

Barbez with Pamelia Kurstin, thereminist!

2007-11-12T03:19:31Z

Friday was a good day. Pita Inn field trip at lunch, decent workout at the gym, and great show at Elastic seeing Barbez with thereminist Pamelia Kurstin. She's a serious musician who plays mesmerizing theremin, when she's not playing upright bass,...
