We'll be on, playing live, at 9 pm, KXLU 88.9 if you're in los angeles
Lee Joseph is on acoustic bass, Mark Borinstein on drums. This is turning out to be the best band I've had. Three middle aged Jews who play in a garage in the San Fernando Valley. Nothing electric. I'm starting to think of it as a skiffle band, sort of folk rockabilly.
We're playing live in NoHo on 7/10 at Cafe Amersterdam -- Magnolia, just east of Vineland -- at 8pm. Free and kid-friendly. Chris Lockett opens. I love playing here. It's my neighborhood coffee and hookah stop. Me, Lee, and Mark.
In other news: Jim Cavender is hard at work putting the finishing touches on A Cellar Full of Noise, our (almost) duo record. Rita Burkholder, Terri Smith Cavender, and Ken Watters (and I'm hoping to sneak Ami MacCorley on "Walkin' Talkin' Barely Beatin' Broken Heart"). Her record is one of the best things I've heard in years. I'll let you know when it's out.
Another longstanding friend, from the world of bluegrass, has enticed me to sing duet on some stuff she's recording. I don't want to say too much just yet, but I'm more flattered than you'll ever know. Wait'll you hear. She's someone I just admire so much.
Deconstructing Dad, Stan Warnow's film about Raymond Scott (his dad), will premiere in Los Angeles on August 5. I'm in it, and I'm very honored. I was interviewed, as were Mark Mothersbaugh, Don Byron, Hal Willner, Irwin Chusid, and other music folk who I admire much.
Allison Anders' Don't Knock The Rock fest will screen it on 8/5. I'm dj'ing!
