oh, nice news. :) the lovely robin hilton and bob boilen of npr's "second stage" and "all songs considered" played my musics. you can follow the link to all that. i'm thrilled and delighted.
thank you, too, to all who came out for the portland cd release show for "half hours with the lower creatures" (made w/ the one and only jeff stuart saltzman). it was a remarkable night--a very happy one for me, the band, kaitlyn & sam, and brothers young (formerly fourever young). i wish that everyone could have made it in--am still astounded that so many had to be turned away. i hope that, if you missed it, you can make it out to the next full band show at the doug fir, june 19.
the band--arthur parker/bass & vox (trashcan joe, foh), john stewart/drums & vox (the sort ofs, foh), chris robley/guitar/junk/vox (foh, the sort ofs), and ben landsverk (foh, holcombe waller) really need to be heard to be believed. i mean it. june 19! the doug fir! sophe lux and per se will be there, too. a show definitely worth coming out for.
we'll be down in eugene at the black forest, june 12. if you're down that way, please do swing by. it'll be our first show there.
"creatures" is officially out, now.. it's digitally available on iTunes and digitally/physically available at cdbaby.com right now. just please don't go buy it digitally from the russian guys who bought it in s.f. (at a foh tour show) and promptly put it on their bogus sites from which i get no monies. i've made no contract w/ the russians, that i remember. damn them and their nefarious scheme! i also get no money from amazon (those are all used reviewer copies). wahh!
see you soon.
xo,
