I WAS WRONG!

PSOI is now playing at 8:15 pm on may 17 in seattle. get there early!

IMPEACH MAYOR NICKELS AND DIME!

hello all... if you are planning on attending the psoi/posies gala in seattle on may 17,  A CHANGE IN SET TIMES HAS BEEN IMPLEMENTED. because of the mayor's crackdown on law abiding clubs (because he is a douchebag), nuemo's can only hold 250 on the night. so... that means there will be two shows and PSOI are only playing EARLY. we go on around 9PM. the posies will be playing by themselves later, after all from the first show are lead out of the club in handcuffs. sorry about the confusion. make your complaints to the owners of nuemo's and that prick the mayor. 

i bet they will still hate my new record!

the fine folks at pitchfork have posted a news item on yours truly... the show with broken social scene hasn't been announced yet. go to sled island for more info. 

the hustla plays leno! give this brotha a call...

psoi fiddler chris heinrich will be appearing on the tonight show with leno may 2nd (that's tomorrow night fool). he's playing with his other band sleepercar. check it out! hopefully chris will restrain himself from standing on his stool again. good luck heiny!

psoi news

hello there. for quite awhile, all has been quiet on the psoi front... until now! a new record is in the works, hopefully done by the end of spring, a new website (still working on it, obviously), and the most exciting of all... we're playing shows again! we've been asked to support the posies for their 20th anniversary show in seattle may 17th. we're excited, since we still like the posies very much (even if the drummer is a weird rush fan). we're also playing a bunch of new songs... as well as some old family favorites. if you're up in the northwest, come on down. i've also been asked to be a guest curator for the sled island music fest up in calgary, alberta, canada june 25-28. very excited about this! i've picked a few of my favorite bands, old and new to play. psoi will also be performing, but what is really gonna be special is that we're doing a collaboration with the lads in broken social scene. most of it will be new material made up just for sled island! ok, thanks for listening and hopefully see you soon. spiral....

'canning it on' some more

'canning it on like mongrels' part two

early morning flight back from adelaide today. a little groggy i am. got it together in time to see 'public bizare' open melbourne's laneway 2008. a perfect beginning to a perfect day. below are some photos taken from this glorious day. musical highlights were 'still flyin', 'cool kids', 'violent soho', 'red sun band', 'gotye', and of course 'bss'. and if you've been to past laneway's, you will notice how they've expanded the capacity to close off a major melbourne street this year. it's only gonna get bigger folks.  still pissed about having to wait in line just to get into sister bella's. i mean, come on, the only thing you'll find in there is the owner sitting there 'canning it on like a mongrel'. good times.
