Carnivorous Grass, my first band, is having a reunion gig! Jim Kelly will be in Ireland and we're going to play a short concert on May 18, 2008, fifteen years to the day of our very first gig together. I made a little myspace site for the band here and uploaded some songs from our only release, and I'll hopefully have some other music and some more old pictures up soon.

It's been kind of quiet here lately but I have been doing a lot behind the scenes. I've been busy in Paul Solecki Studios (otherwise known as college) recording a lot, and I've put a few new tracks up on the stupid myspace site if you'd like to have a listen.

Floating By is a nice new song and there's a good version of Need You Near, a song I played with The Great Egress. Both of these tracks have me playing all the instruments, and they somehow sound pretty good (the secret is to do at least 15,000 takes of the drums). There's also a mandolin instrumental I wrote and started recording last year called In the Wrong Place (fans of Two Time Polka might get the not so great joke) and my instant classic Wake Up Paul. I've got a lot more brand new songs written and somewhere in the recording process, and am thinking about putting out another CD in the next year or so...

As for live gigs, I'm still in the process of assembling the perfect cast, and hopefully will have an update soon, as well a possible big top secret reunion gig announcement...

My old friend Clyde "Sweet Balls" Kim has been busy as well, and he's just put an animated short up online that I think is great! Check out Part One and Part Two of Newer Mightier Ultimater Avengers! Can't wait to see good ol' Clyde this summer in California!
