Due to a bastard of a cold, I will not be playing tonight at the Press Club. The wonderful Rachel Taylor Brown is still playing, however - so now you’ll get to see two sets of Rachel songs. Yay for you! Boo for snot, colds, and coughing. I’ll be back in fighting form soon, so see you then.

Sat at the White Eagle!
A slab of raw Marble: I get all stripped down, with just guitar and drums, the way God and Jack White intended it. New songs and old get fractured through our freeform feedbacked lens. Also will be lending some extra textures to Bad Side of Holland’s opening set, while trying not to step on their cool minimalist vibe (drums + magic guitarbass). Show starts at 9:30.
