The next demo for the new album is up! Click the player below to check it out – and if you have a comment, I’d love to hear it…

Working to fit in a summer road trip before it’s too late? Well, you’re in luck – I just wrote an article for a cool new music blog that should give you some ideas for songs to take along… P.S. Thanks to Hardcore Troubadour for publishing this!

These are from the audience at the Stork Club show a few weeks ago (thanks, Colin). No, the camera/cameraman was not on acid; it’s just hard to get good photos in a punk rock club with an iPhone. After midnight. When there’s PBR involved. Just click the image (or click here) to see a few…

So it’s 2 am, you’ve just been politely but firmly escorted out of the Stork Club (Oakland version) by the bouncer with the one gold tooth, and, due to an unfortunate miscommunication, someone else is driving away in your car, leaving you standing with the panhandlers and crackheads circumnavigating the parking lot at the all-night…

Happy Spring! Hope your year is shaping up well so far. Listen, I’ve actually got a lot of cool musical stuff coming down the pike, but I’ll have to save that for the next post, because this one is about – LIVE SHOW LIVE SHOW LIVE SHOW! Yup. Radio Nowhere will be playing the world-famous…

I didn’t realize until I took a few minutes to look back that 2011 has actually been a pretty awful year for music. Scans of various music blogs’ Top 10 (or 25, or 100) lists to remind me what came out haven’t left me with many “Oh right! That one!” moments, zero, in fact. This…

If you’re looking for something to pass the time between your coffee break and happy hour today, you could do a lot worse than this excellent article on this excellent album (my favorite from The Replacements). I don’t have much to say about the record that isn’t covered (more skillfully) here, but I will say…

Last week I went to a cool art opening (full disclosure: the artists were my sister and two of my good friends). Wine and an unusually excellent bar mix were served, the art was cool, and many friends were seen. All of which were great, and worthy of further note. However, this is a blog…
