We’re a few show deep in the tour. So far so good. I opened a twitter account today (God help my soul), and will try to take a big steaming twit each day on the road. I’m told people like to read twits or tweets, and though I can’t fathom publishing every brain wave, I’ll do my best to keep you abreast of the latest and greatest.
Til then, your twit - Kevin
Two great tastes that go great together.
I’ve been using EHX pedals since I was a kid and I figured out how to make my shitty guitar playing sound “cool”.
The Big Muff was the first pedal I ever bought and when I plugged it in, the light bulb went off. Yea, verily I say unto you, distortion covereth a multitude of sins.
So when I was contacted by Electro Harmonix and asked if I would be the new (bearded) face for their bass guitar pedals, needless to say I ’stomped’ on the chance (horrible pun intended).
They sent me a copy of their “Bass Blogger” distortion pedal and I made a video for it!
Check it out at the link above!
I’m not much of a noodler / wanker guy, and this was my first forray into this sort of thing, but I had fun with it. Next time I’ll wear a sweater and sit with legs crossed slapping and popping. I mean, you can’t start out with Empire Strikes Back you know?!
We leave for tour this weekend. I’ll be playing the hell out of this pedal the whole tour. Come see me not slapping or popping in your town.
For now: yours, sweaterless and legs akimbo - Kevin
That scary looking mo-fo you see over there is ME!
That’s how I look when I blog.
It’s actually a screen capture from our fresh, new video for “Octavio“. The video is rad, very Lynchian - we spent two days breathing the decay of a rotting Masonic Temple to bring you the haunting, stoney vibes. Without doubt the coolest video we’ve ever done! We’ll be screening it May 19th at a free party here in Portland at Mississippi Studios, as well as having the record for sale….a few days before street date.
We’ll be there,…but not performing. CD release shows - for bands - are pretty lame, so we thought this would be a fun night for everyone…including us!!! Come down to Miss studios, have a drink or two with us, watch our new video and maybe give the new record a spin!
Sound cool?
Here’s the facts:
VIVA VOCE - VIDEO PREMIERE/ALBUM RELEASE PARTY

…maybe see you there? Or maybe I just keep blogging all pissed-off looking?
cheers - Kevin
