So this page has devolved into about a monthly thing, which I guess is okay for now. Things are progressing slowly but surely with Yacht Z, getting my “sea legs” again, trying to decide what guitar I’m going to use (not fully happy with any of them, unfortunately), trying to learn the music, trying to figure out how to play live as a guitarist and balance my levels and stuff. It’s been frustrating, to be honest, but I need to figure it out. We had a fun-if-super-raga rehearsal last weekend and I loved it. I think Matt (Yacht Z drummer\/vocals) is going to be my best friend now because his favorite baseball team is the Mets and he loves Sloan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On to other things – much of everything is the same. Monthly shows at 360 Uno have been going great. I recorded the May show and the April one was livestreamed so I’ll post those videos here pretty soon hopefully – I have some finessing to do on them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Chandler and The Bings has been plugging along doing well. Sadly no Austin gigs in June, but we’ve had some really fun ones recently, including a two-fer at Speakeasy and Blind Pig the last weekend of May.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Got a Singular Sound BeatBuddy MINI 2 to play with. So far it’s a lot of fun. It’s basically a drum machine in a pedal format. So that is likely to make its way into my next 360 Uno show, which unfortunately won’t be until August unless I pick up a cancellation somewhere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Watch the George Carlin miniseries on HBO Max – it’s excellent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And that’s about it for now. Try not to be a fucking asshole, please.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Peace be the journey.
