12.18.07 - Sorry for the extreme lack of updates. We had a very busy early Summer with Needle Up! and played some very cool shows around the country and in Buffalo. Right now, Needle Up is immersed in song writing and recording for a new cd that will be released early Spring of 2008. I've got a few side projects going on right now that I will announce more about in the future, but I will be returning to my jazz roots for one, and rocking some Bonham beats in another!
Over the past few years, I've sat in for NY based metal/electronica band displaceD as they've played musical drummers. Drummers, if you didn't know, have a reputation of flaking out! These guys have really paid their dues and have not let any of their line-up switching sway them. They've finally gotten signed to a reputable label and are touring the country for the foreseeable future. We'll be jumping on a bill with them to kick off their tour and release their new CD on January 5 2008 in Buffalo. It's a night full of displaceD alumni bands (not all of them though, because that would be an all day event!!) Please join us if you're in the area, or keep an eye out for them in your town. You won't be disappointed!
