I played a house show last night in Shelby Township. I was asked to do it like 4 days ago (short notice is the name of the game this week) and I said "maybe" and planned on declining. Well, flyers were made with my name on it so I kinda HAD to play ( Read more... )

I know I didn't write an entry about Ska Weekend. I wrote a sweet recap in my blog on myspace, though, so check that out instead ( Read more... )

I don't mean to sound like a cliche class war oi oi punkrawker... but I really hate rich people. This fucking cunt has an abstract sculpture in her family room that probably cost more than my car, and she can't spare a CENT for the guy who drives 8 miles round trip to bring her dinner?

Today at work I told a naive uber-Christian coworked that I wished she would go hunting with Dick Cheney. She replied "So... you're not a Republican, are you..." The tone in her voice said to me that she assumed I was a Republican, and I had just disappointed her.

I went to a show today. I had a lot of fun, but everyone around me (most of whom are people I would call friends) seemed to think I was incredibly drunk or on drugs, while I was in fact neither. I was just having fun, so fuck off. Then after the show I hung out with some coworkers and friends. Everyone got crazy drunk, while I had nothing but ( Read more... )

I just got home from Gogol Bordello and it wasn't even the best part of my day. That's when you know you're having a fucking AMAZING day.

I uploaded new songs for my sideproject. You can hear the songs here. But check this fucking shit out: PUNKNEWS.ORG ARTICLE ABOUT ME!Holy. Shit ( Read more... )

Today in Thursday. Since Tuesday, I've recorded four new songs. And they're awesome! Now granted, one's a cover and the other three have very few (if any) lyrics. But look... I'm fucking proud of that shit. Some of you have heard a song or two, some of you SHOULD hear a song or two... but everyone gets to hear them this weekend. New music ( Read more... )

Tonight me, my brother Ben, and Boston (21deadmonkeys.com) went out to London, ON. We got the venue (Call The Office... awesome little rock joint) just in time to see the Flatliners take the stage. Good timing! They put on their best set I've seen yet (this being the third time I've seen them ( Read more... )

Friday night I went down to Ida, MI. That's almost Ohio, son! The occasion was a 21deadmonkeys.com fundraising show. All the door money was donated to my friends' website. We also were selling pop (soda), water, and candy. For my part, I set up a raffle and a separate donation thing. The raffle started out as a bunch of cool shit off my ( Read more... )

Yeah, I haven't been in here in a while. I play a show at the Blind Pig in Ann Arbor on Tuesday, opening for Badfish (a Sublime tribute band). It was cool for me to be on a stage I've seen the Suicide Machines perform on. From my perspective, my set went really well. The songs were well-executed and the jokes were funny. The laughter ( Read more... )
