Hey all! Once again I've let my blog schedule slide, but I've been scheming a lot...
I've still been slaving away trying to get a good mix of "Dear Reason." At this point, I'm more likely to upload the track to my site for you guys to listen to and bypass iTunes until I can afford to get into a better studio to record with my signature Rhodes amp & have someone mix my songs for me. I think the treatment idea for the "Dear Reason" video is going to turn out really well.
I had a blast playing at Rancho Real's Cinco de Mayo show last weekend. Several of my guitar students made it out. From what I hear, the show has really motivated them to practice harder. I'm super proud of my munchkin guitar army! If you haven't made it out to a show recently, I'm playing in Logansport at the Corner Pub on the 5/14 and in Lafayette at Aces Pub on the 21st.
The Taste of Tippecanoe is just around the corner and all us 'behind-the-scenes' guys are working hard to ensure that it's even more awesome than it usually is. I'm not playing this year, but I'm psyched to be able to chill out & hang with all of my buddies' awesome bands that will be throwing it down. Don't forget: June 18th, downtown Lafayette, awesome music, great food, great cause! More info is available at www.tasteoftippecanoe.org
This is a bit uncharacteristic of my blog, but I'd really like to give a thumbs up to Clint Lowery and Sevendust. I have admired Clint's playing, singing, and writing for a long time and his band, Sevendust, is one of my favorites. Clint has been releasing some really cool music under the moniker 'Hello Demons Meet Skeletons' and I really admire how Sevendust has been helping promote it. That's family.
That's all for now. Thanks for stopping by! I'm off to studio...
Over and out.
This is the source for the inside scoop on Chris June IND; including writing, recording, performing, etc. You'll get more dirt here than tweets & status updates. Typically, new blog entries get posted every Monday and whenever something too interesting to not write about happens. I’ll try to keep my entries short-winded and light-hearted. Maybe I can make them funny. We’ll see.

Hey all, I've received a few messages about the blog lapse...
I've been short on time. Apologies.
As you may have heard/seen Chemcoma is coming to an end. If you'd like to have one more good time with us, you can catch 'what will likely be' our last show at the Mosey Down Main Street on July 9th at 11pm. The Mosey's are very cool. Basically, Main Street in Downtown Lafayette is blocked off from 6th to 14th Streets & a party happens. There are some vendors, multiple bands on several stages, and as far as I know, you can BYOB & have fun in the middle of town. We'll be playing the stage at 6th & Main Street (in front of the Lafayette Theater). The event is FREE & lasts from 6pm to midnight. Hopefully we'll see you out!
Did you make it to the Taste last weekend? Holy cow, I had a blast. I was down there close to 5am to make sure setup went according schedule, hung out during the event, & stayed until about 3am to make sure everything was cleaned up. It was an endurance test & my sleep schedule is really messed up. :-)
We had a stacked roster this year & I don't think any bands disappointed. I personally saw Johnny Bhive, The Green Room Rockers, & Michael Kelsey tear a hole in the sky. I missed sets by Root Hog, Uncle Buck's Mojo Box, & No Apparent Reason for various reasons, but I'm sure they all threw down hard too! Lafayette locals always represent the town well. Please check these guys out when you get a chance.
Before I forget, thanks to the bands & volunteers for making the Taste virtually painless. I can't wait til next year!
Since the band is going kaput, I've been spending all of my time putting legs on the IND. I've been splitting my time between recording new songs & getting the material in a position to be out on a stage. Actually, my buddy Travis was over earlier to jam around & help me work out some bugs on the new tune-age. Thanks dude!
Speaking of that, I may be playing at the open mic at the Lafayette Theater (6th & Main) on Wednesday night (6/22). I think the lineup is full, but I'm a reserve in case someone cancels or catches on fire. So, I have no idea what the time will be if I do get to play. Anyway, come down on Wednesday. The show lasts from 7-11pm &, if nothing else, I'd love to hang out & talk shop.
If you haven't had the chance yet, check out my indie video for "Dear Reason":
The dogs & I had a great time putting this together. Also, the song is on iTunes, Amazon, & other digital music stores if you'd like to own it and/or support the cause.
Thanks for stopping by!
Until next time...

Greetings!
I had a blast this weekend playing at the Corner Pub in Logansport. Born Under Burden opened the show. Those guys are as killer as ever. It was great to get to hang out with them again & get to crank up the Rhodes amp too! Cheers to all of the new Logansport friends.
Speaking of cranking up the Rhodes amp, it'll be sweating and screaming at Aces Pub in Lafayette on Saturday night (5/21) too. If you haven't made it to a show recently, you should make out for this one. The Aces shows are always extra dirty! Good dirty...
My work with the Taste of Tippecanoe has been getting more frantic as the date approaches (June 18th), but I've still managed to get some IND work done. I think I've cleared my head enough to resume work on the "Dear Reason" mix. Be looking for it on www.ChrisJuneIND.com sometime next week. I'll give the heads up on Facebook & Twitter when it goes live, so friend & follow if you haven't yet. :-)
I'm getting close on having my live tracks done to start playing some new tunes live with the grandpa's guitar. The goal is to start hitting up open mics & booking shows in the next couple of weeks.
Thanks for stopping by again this week! I'll see you at Aces on Saturday.

I've been off of my normal schedule a little bit.
I intend to finalize a 'home master' of "Settling," my new song, today. I'm in the Mixing and mastering process and, though those are things I'm interested in, it's a lot more difficult than most people think. I'm making the song sound the best that I can despite my limited budget, expertise, and environment. I keep reminding myself that this is a jumping off point and if I can find enough listeners to love the song(s), I can start doing bigger budget stuff. So, I've been making trips back & forth between the studio and the living room stereo for the past couple of days making notes and small changes to try to get this track sounding its best.
In other news, we had our first Taste of Tippecanoe board meeting last night. Luckily the crew was nice enough to let me phone in since I had a guitar lesson to give later in the evening. I got involved with the Taste this time last year to satisfy my internship responsibilities to graduate college. Apparently, I did a good enough job for them to keep me around. It's a lot of fun, the people are great, and any profit goes straight to the Tippecanoe Arts Federation; a local non-profit org that helps a ton of artists and kids. Win, win, win situation!
Moving on...
"Something to Die for," the new Chemcoma single, has been doing pretty well for us. It hit iTunes last week and got some special love in the Lafayette Journal & Courier. You still might be able to see the article at http://www.jconline.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=2011101130302. If that doesn't work, go to www.jconline.com & search for 'Chemcoma.'
It's looking like the band's winter break will be over as we head to Elkhart to play a show at Halftimes on Saturday (1/22/10). North-Central Indiana has become a second home to us and we love playing up there. Our buddy Mike Lutin will be playing bass with us too. Stop by if you're in the area! Additional show details are available at www.chemcoma.com.
