Hey, you made it!

The Andy Wood session at Sound Logic last week was a blast! If that guy ever gets tired of getting compliments, it's his own fault for being awesome. If you have a sec, check out his band: Down from Up. Also, his Rhodes amp sounds really mean... but, don't they all?

Guess what? Rhodes Amplification is on board with DropYa Fightwear, Image Source Photographic, People's Brewing Company, Lafayette Speaker Repair, and Sacred Apple to sponsor Chris June IND! I have some details to finalize with a few others and will have more info on that soon. Promise.

The Knickerbocker show on July 29th with Madison, WI bands Colorphase & Sleeping in Stereo is shaping up nicely. Info is on my Shows Page and even more info is on the Facebook Event listing. If you click on the Facebook Event link, you can let us know if you're attending. While you're on Facebook, maybe you'll throw me a 'like' on the Chris June IND Fan Page too!

Speaking of shows, I'll be playing select dates opening for Rockerbox over the next few months too. Those dates will be posted soon.

Chris Parker and I made it official last week. We're not getting married, but he is my new drummer. Mr. Parker recently played with my friends in Duilliath. If you have any tips on how I can distract him enough while he's playing so that he doesn't figure out how easy the songs are, let me know. This kid has rock muscles, for sure.

I had a great weekend hanging out with friends & family, but it's time to get back to work!

This week's agenda consists of finishing more live tracks, lots of rehearsals, recording vocals for the new CD, shaking down sponsors, meeting with a bassist prospect, photo shoot and lots more.

Come back next Monday for some more dirt!

Over and out.

Thanks to everyone that made it out to the last Chemcoma show. It was awesome for Ken & Nate to have us close down the Mosey!

Here's what you missed, set-wise:

"Runaway"
"In Time"
"SEISM"
"Stitch"
"Lift Me Up:
"Runaway" - Bon Jovi cover
"Run Like Hell"
"Come to Hand"
"Shakin'" - Eddie Money cover
"Helter Skelter" - Beatles, etc. cover
"Something to Die for"
"Boys of Summer" - Don Henley, etc. cover
*Encore*
"Whiskey in the Jar" - Metallica, etc. cover

I'm sure Cody & Em are up to dirty musical dealings. I'll show them some love around here as they start to talk. I'm glad we did what we did over the last 7+ years. We couldn't have put a better exclamation point on Chemcoma than the Mosey performance.


I edited-up & posted a live/unplugged performance of "Settling"
Let me know what you think. The footage was from June 29th and Lafayette Live and captured by my good buddy Justin Reagin on his iPhone. If you hang out & get some good video, I will post it!

In case you were wondering,  I've been playing solo with the help of programmed piano lines & a click track until I gather up enough dudes to jam.


*Quickies*

One of the newer heavy hitters on the Rhodes Amplification roster, Andy Wood, will be in town today cranking on a Colossus at Sound Logic. I'll be headed over later to hang out during the session.

I'll be jamming with the drummers again this week. My goal is to only have one of them by the weekend! Also, I'm still hunting and trapping bassists. I hope they're in 'season'.

It's looking like I'll be the local support for Madison, WI bands Colorphase & Sleeping in Stereo when they come to throw down in Lafayette at the Knickerbocker on Friday, July 29th. Mark that one down in your calendar, it's going to be fun one!

Thanks for stopping by!

Over and out.
