Check Out Mere at CMJ

Mere Video Shoot

How exciting is this: my band Mere is rocking the CMJ Music Marathon in NYC in a few weeks!! We played SXSW last March, and now we’re playing CMJ! As indie music festivals go, those are the two big ones, so it’s a real treat to play them both.

Obviously, once the CMJ folks see how much enthusiasm I’ve expressed over the gig, and my use of the word “treat,” they’ll probably rescind their offer in favor of some Brooklyn band with a theremin, but just in case they don’t, here are some details. The show is Friday, Oct. 23rd at Ace of Clubs, and we’ll be taking the stage around 10:45 pm. And I’ll be playing the drums for this show,  with Rock Reilly on the bass, and the brilliant Christian Bruculleri playing rhythm guitar and singing some backup vox. I think Mere fans will really like the new configuration, so if you’re in NYC, come on out and have fun with us. (We’re way more fun than that theremin band)

New Look! New Platform!

I’ve been telling myself for years that I need to apply a little more vanity to my vanity site–that old three-column Blogger design that I’d cobbled together was rotten and ugly. The only reason I was attached to it was because the template was my first (and only) CSS project. Turns out I’m not all that good at CSS!

Anyway, finally migrated over to WordPress. It was a quick and easy process, but I have a lot of tweaks to make still. I realize only you non-RSS-reader readers will even notice a difference, and that the number of actual site visitors rounds out to about zero, but whatever. Personal triumphs.

BTW, I really need a good horizontal zombie image for the header art, to complete the Brain Feed pun. Anyone have any good pics of zombies? Maybe an undead sibling eating the family pet? Nothing TOO graphic…
