no life singed her

hi all. been awhile. i'm djing at the sonic youth listening party on thursday. come on down for some fun in the sun. 

finally! an update...

hello everyone... sorry it's been so long. i've been traveling a bunch and am getting ready next week for my annual trip down under. some shows coming up this week... starting tomorrow up in vancouver, bc, canada. i'm playing under the name 'spiral stairs' and am playing at the biltmore cabaret. i'll have preston school alums darius, chris, and matt backing me up. the legendary ian moore will be opening up and joining us on a few songs as well. should be a fun night... that's if it doesn't snow too much. it's been seriously cold up here in the northwest the past week and snow is expected tomorrow. we are also playing a show at the sunset tavern here in seattle on saturday. my friends in 'the cops' have asked us to play their annual holiday shows. also, the next day i will be performing solo at gainsbourg in the greenwood neighborhood in seattle. ian moore will be playing as well. hope to see you. 

almost done with the record too! most of the songs are now recorded and roughly mixed. just waiting on a few extras to be done down in australia. the record should be mixed by the end of january with a may release. i will post some songs on the myspace site soon. 

those the basics! in the 'bank job'????

the 'spiral record' basics are pretty much done. 22 songs. now it's on to overdubs in a couple weeks. will check back in and give a status report then. in the meantime, this weekend in sf, we are playing a bunch of new songs and a few oldies at parkerpaloosa 5 at the 12 galaxies. it's one of the last shows at the 12 g's, so should be good. i've also got kelley stoltz playing keyboards with us, which will be a real treat. hope to see you there. 

parker's a loser part 5...
