Jp's a thief in the night


So we recorded a new demo of a new song, using our old gear. It came out pretty cool. We did it in about 2 hours, with one mic, it was really fun. Not too much else to report right now, except to expect. Looks like the storms over for now.

Blue Cafe, Ventura, & OC Bagels

Hey folks,

So we are on to our 5th show of our little local tour. Tonight @ Blue Cafe in Huntington beach. It's been sooo much fun, playing, hanging out, driving, and standing in parking lots for hours. We've grown ALOt as a band in the last week. And Im very grateful for having such dedicated dudes to be playing music with me. What a week.

Thursday night in Ventura - Take Two
Friday at OC Bagels - in Laguna Hills?? Solo set, and with Ali and Steve. Tim solo set.

check out dash jackets shows this weekend too.

Trains, Planes & Automobiles

The Fullerton Train Station, a surprisingly (or not so surprisingly) awesome place to play. Dash Jacket & Hail the Sun were fantastic as usual. We actually sold some CD's! And a homeless guy at the station, said he loved the last song we played (Letters of Going Away) but he liked the original better... hmmmm...

Show #3 is tomorrow @ Dipiazzas in Long Beach at 5pm.

Animal House

Ramona was interesting... You have to take a pretty, curvey, mountainy road to get there. It's a small little town, with a southern feel. Played the show (after which a metal-head dude abruptly came up to me and said "It felt like I was on Drugs", which is always good to hear), stayed there till 12:30 and got home at 2. Then burned copies of the album till 5am.

Tonight is going to kick ass! We have a show at the Fullerton train station (Sante Fe Cafe) with best friends Dash Jacket, and Hail the Sun. It starts at 7pm, and we go on later. We're selling "Letters of Going Away" for $5.

Hey

So i thought i'd give this blog thing a try. We'll see if i commit to this, cause you know commitments are never easy. but i figure it is worth a shot. I'm pretty stoked on some new developments happening in AA land.

First of all, after 5 months of tracking, mixing, and loosing my mind an album is finished. We are calling it "Letters of Going Away" after the first song that Tony and I wrote for this band, before it was even a band. and i think that we're all pretty happy with the way things turned out. I took a drive last night after recieving the master copy, drove through the canyon.. and I almost cried. Just everything that we put into making this album, all the emotion, scheduling, and time finally paid off.

Making an album is by far the hardest thing i've done musically.

Secondly, we are going on a tour of sorts, starting tomorrow:





Well good night!
