Fall has come and so has a bunch of new things to for me to devote my time to. Right now my pal Sean Hart and I are recording our first full length Tartar Control Album. If you don’t know what Tartar Control is, here’s a link. I think we’re going to call it “We’re Not Selling Anything” or “The Book of Tartar Control”. We’re not sure yet. What I do know is that it will have over 30 songs, some comedy sketch dialogue, and possibly SECRETS… This epic masterpiece or morman inspired punk rock is being recorded in my basement and is fueled by decaf Earl Grey tea with lemon and honey plus delicious BBQ! We’re thinking that it will be completely done by December. Woo!!
Also, it looks like I’ll be getting a monthly show at Meltdown Comics here in LA. My friend Sax offered me a character based comedy show where me and my friends could do all of our weird acts. I’m pretty excited, as most shows in LA outside of the big clubs claim to be alternative, but are really just stand up shows with comics dressed as hipsters. I think I can do something different. Something that is actually alternative but quality too. Or I may just be blowing big poofy farts out of my mouth. We’ll see. But that won’t happen until December, after the Tartar Control album is done.
With all that said, I’m not doing as many shows around town as I was a few months ago. But I am going on two mini tours and have a few gigs for October and November. Here they are!!
