yeah yeah. it's been a while.

since my last post:

turned 31 on 25 feb. sophomore year of 30's has been good so far.
was invited (along w/ my band-- iLos Gran Torinos!) on my first tour. a march on the Kenai Peninsula.
purchased this laptop.

if you're kicking around the Kenai, come check us out:

Stubby's Crack Co.--(hawaiian lapsteel, sax, bass, drums, trumpet) will perform selections from their upcoming release that follows the ups and downs of Matt Dorman, a boy found in a dumpster who grows up to ride with the Spenard Satans, the baddest-assed bicycle gang you ever done seen.

Fats Tunamelt--schizophrenic rock songs about Bob Ross, PBR, Cavity Creeps and being your own dentist. one of the sickest drummers you'll see in these parts.

Wang Gang--fresh from the trainyard, stranded hobos making raw assed bluegrass fueled by cheap beer. banjo, fiddle, mandolin, guitar, washboard, spoons, jugs, etc. wang gang is jimmy jazz and johnnie too-bad joined by various members of the other bands belting out everything from soldier's joy to the clash's straight to hell.

iLos Gran Torinos!--(guitar, baritone guitar, sax, bass, drums) a friend who just heard us said we reminded him of the Minutemen meets a surf rock Motorhead. not too sure that's an apt description but i sure do like it.

so far, we'll be at:

Yukon Bar in Seward on St. Pats day.
Elks Club in Seward on the 18th(this one's all ages, kids)
Amped Cafe in Homer on the 19th
possible show in soldotna on the 20th.
a pox on Maxine's in Girdwood for cancelling on us.
