I'll be playing The International Pop Overthrow festival in Cleveland this weekend...

I will be playing a half hour solo set as part of the International Pop Overthrow festival this year. This will be the first year the festival will be in Cleveland, and I will be opening the second evening which is being held at the Beachland Ballroom in Lakewood, OH. I will be playing from 8:00-8:30 pm, and I will be assisted by my friend Doug Wofsey on electric guitar.

For more information go to the IPO's web site: www.internationalpopoverthrow.com, and click on "Cleveland schedule".

Also appearing that night will be Paranoid Lovesick, the awesome Rainy Day Saints, and four other bands. A splendid time is guarenteed for all. Hope to see you there!

EP price reduction

All EPs in my catalog are now $3.00 each postage paid, instead of $5.00. Just doing my bit to help the economy... :)

Visit the Living Archive Of Underground Music

My friend Don Campau has published an amazing web page on the history of 1980s-1990s cassette culture underground music. This is a great place to find out what it was all about, how it started, who the key figures were, etc. The underground music scene is as big as ever and continues to thrive in the age of cd-rs, mp3s, wave files, etc. but this is where it all started. Check it out:

Thanks Don for your incredible hard work.
