Steven James, my man on guitar, got to sit on his ass and drink beer all night while I played a solo songwriter circle gig.  He did put his new camera to good use, however.  He caught my last song here.  Check it out!

Check out this live video for "Hang On", shot by Rodrigo Valenzuela at All Asia in Cambridge, MA on August 19, 2006.

Don't be a hater... Check out the latest on my blog... Some funny stuff, some obnoxious stuff... but all DAVE ALPERT in nature.  There's a video of puddles of puke set to my music, a video with my buddy Big O of 99 Dragons and Mike Woods of Damone and some stuff about fortune cookies.  Check it out!

This just in... Dave's Peace of Mind EP received its first published review.

Dave Alpert
Peace of Mind EP

Singer/songwriter Dave Alpert delivers 5 magnificent tracks filled with multi-layered instrumentation and hypnotic vocals on his new sampler Peace of Mind.  Employing the talents of producer Anthony J. Resta, Alpert was able to create compositions that soar with aural color and texture.

Filled with ornamental sound bytes and percussive quirks, Alpert’s songs aren’t your typical garage rock fare.  They’re more complex and musical, much like the higher offerings of bands like XTC and The Beatles.  There’s no clamor here… just well penned songs played with equal aplomb.

Guitarist Russell Mofsky, bassists Tim Griffin, Clayton Young and Tom Royal along with drummers Ed Arnold and Mike Levesque join the cast of musicians that grace the tracks of Peace of Mind.  Anthony Resta and Karyadi Sutedja also add fine musical contributions along with their engineering and production skills.  In sum, Alpert and friends have assembled one of the coolest sounding albums of the year!

Hey all,

Here's the latest: we are in the process of shooting the first-ever Dave Alpert music video!!  A video for "Caught On You" is being filmed right here in Boston by genius filmmaker Shintaro Hamaguchi.  More details to be announced soon!

Blueberry Jam 2005 was a lot of fun... drove out to Worthington, MA yesterday with Katie and Jared... The car ride playlist included GnR, Cheap Trick and the Decemberists...

At the festival:
Storytellers and poets spun some good yarns, Beth Boucher played another show-stopping performance and Adventures in Tourism rocked the house.  As for me... It was fun to get up there and rock.  Thanks to Adventures in Tourism for backing me up!  They are awesome.... and a shout out to Terry the 12 year old vunderkind who ripped out a killer solo for Peace of Mind, the finale of my set.  Made it back to Boston alive... at 4am.... woke up today and could barely talk.... another AWESOME show!

Rock,
Dave
