Live at Ipanema is a free performance series at Ipanema Cafe. The shows are recorded & photographed, and then shared online. The band gets a high-quality recording and professional photography, and everyone else gets a great evening of music.
As always with our Richmond shows, we try to introduce a few new songs to our set to keep things fresh and this show will be no different. In fact, the entire set will have a new feel to it as we had to alter our sound for the intimate setting. It will also be the first time we’ve recorded together as a band; all of the studio recordings up to this point have just been me with the occasional guest appearance, so this will be a very interesting listen. The recording will be available online for free shortly afterwards by the talented Allen Bergendahl of Viking Recording, who has recorded SO MANY AWESOME BANDS (click that link and check out the list of artists he’s worked with, it’s ridiculous). Is there a better way to spend a Sunday night!?

See you there!!

Finally!! After years in the making, Person, Place, or Thing is ready for release. And what a great lineup to help make it happen! The Rice Cakes from Providence, RI are coming through on their tour, along with Houdan the Mystic and Navi to make this an awesome night of music.
The album will go live on bandcamp on the 29th, and you’ll be able to stream it for free or download for $7. However, if you make it out to the release show on the 27th, you can get it early for $5 via download cards that I’ll be selling at the merch table. 
Here is the event page on facebook. Hope to see you all there!

Important Albums

Just a little insight to where I’m drawing some of my inspiration from… Also, it’s fun to make lists.

  • Blue Screen Life by Pinback
  • Hex by Bark Psychosis
  • 23 by Blonde Redhead
  • Demure by Engine Down
  • Oui by The Sea and Cake
  • Standards by Tortoise
  • A Name Writ in Water by The One AM Radio
  • Highly Refined Pirates by Minus the Bear
  • Leaves Turn Inside You by Unwound
  • Fahrenheit Fair Enough by Telefon Tel Aviv
  • How it Feels to be Something On by Sunny Day Real Estate
  • And everything Radiohead has done after Pablo Honey…

If you like what I’m doing musically in any capacity, I recommend listening to all of these albums at least 100 times each (if you haven’t already).

Recording keyboard for the song Tenants. I think I finally found a use for the pitch wheel that doesn’t sound silly. This is the sprawling instrumental song of the album, so it’s kind of like a kick back to Trapezoid Campaign

Look for this song, A Subtle Misspelling, on the upcoming album “Person, Place, or Thing” later this summer!

Lyrics: Way, Shape, or Form and Glory Szabo

The new album is just a couple months away from being completed! In the meantime, check out this older piece that has a lot to do with the direction and sound of the current project (download the full album for free here).
