Valencia Life


I just realized that I'm playing two shows on the same street this week.

Wednesday Dec 2nd at El Valenciano with Dina Maccabee.
Valencia @ 22nd. 8:30 start (our set is at 9:30 or 10)

Friday Dec 4th at Mina Dresden Gallery with Odessa Chen.
312 Valencia @ 14th. (precisely 7:30-8pm)

The Friday show is a Benefit for MEDIATE an art group that puts on events like Soundwave where Odessa and I played last year on a double decker tour bus that drove around the city on a route of her choice. Strange and beautiful.

Fun Session

I got to spend some time in this nice room over at Different Fur Studios last week. Along with Eli on drums, I played some guitar and bass on jRo's album in progress. It was fun to be able to be loose and creative in the studio instead of the more typical frantic pace of trying to record a dozen songs in 2 days. We knocked stuff out though! This is a great room in the middle of the Mission with some nice gear. I got to play though an Emery Sound Superbaby which is a work of art sonically and visually.
