Ladies, Lords, and Gentlemen, may I present to you our new cellist, Michelle Packman:





We had our debut performances with her last weekend at the Coach House with Naked Eyes, and then on Sunday at Venice Beach Music Fest 2009. She was very very good, and the audience loved her. 

We are currently booking a whole bunch of acoustic shows with just me and cello, and some full band shows with her also. She's a natural fit for the band with a zealous interest in geeky things and an extreme music lover. She also knows how to masterfully read all the black dots that fit in-between the lines that she insists on calling 'sheet music', while I insist on calling it 'satan scribble'. 

So please welcome her into the Saint John and the Revelations tribe, you'll be hearing quite a bit more of her soon.

We'll also have some videos with Michelle up on YouTube very soon:

All the best,

Comrades,

Today is the day in-between a weekend of good shows for us.

Last night we opened for Naked Eyes at the Coach House in San Juan Capistrano, CA. We debuted Michelle, our new cellist, and she was deadly good. The audience loved her, and so did we. The crowd was lovely and we look forward to seeing them again, they really made the night a lot of fun for us.

Tomorrow we are playing at the Venice Beach Music Fest in Venice, CA. The festival is FREE and is right at the beach. It'll be a lot of fun, the weather will be beautiful, and there will be music all day. We go on at 11:30AM and we're really looking forward to it. Ladies, wear your most colourful sundresses and bikinis and come enjoy the Pacific Ocean with some really good music! Gentlemen, come and enjoy the ladies (and the music of course!).

The festival takes place at Venice Beach right at the end of Windward Ave. There's plenty of parking around there too.

Ayup! Thanks for stopping by to read this, I feel like I haven’t written any posts this long in ages.

I have been a little preoccupied lately, mostly with recording and recently with being very ill. I had a very high fever for a couple of days, and seeing as how I haven’t eaten since Saturday morning I’m actually still feeling very weak. In three days I lost about 13lbs, which puts me at about 10 stones. I’ll give you a minute to go and find a stone to pound converter.

I feel remarkably coherent at the moment, well, besides the fact that I’m writing this in a very dark room with eight ghosts. They came to sit with me while I listened back to my previous CDs, ‘Halo’ and ‘Mercy’. Before, they had been lingering at my windows for the past couple of days. The point of listening to the old music was because I wasn’t sure if any of it is any good. I know! You’d think if I’d bother to write, record, and release an album, I would think it was good. Well dear friend, therein points to the massive mis-wiring of my brain. I never really know if my music is any good. I might listen to it and like it, but I won’t know if other people will. And even when I ask the rest of the band if a certain idea or sound (or even lack of a sound) is too crazy, I usually just shrug my shoulders, say ‘fuck it’, and move on. Even after a few thousand positive comments and reviews from people, none of it seems to stick. I continually think I’m probably a fraud, someone just pretending to be a song-writer. Which is funny because if you try to get me to do anything else, I don’t really feel like I’m anything but a song-writer.

But at the moment, I feel like I might actually be a song-writer. It’ll fade in a few hours, but with a nice fresh listen I really enjoyed the previous stuff. (DAMN!!! Cyndi Lauper’s ‘All Through the Night’ just came on the radio, what a great, great, song!) So anyway, listening back and scrolling through a couple of pages of nice comments from folks like you has put me back on track to start recording again after being ill. So I’m just going to finish this rambling up and walk over and turn on the studio.

It’s just past 3AM, and it feels like it could be any time of day to me. I walked outside a little earlier and partially anticipated some sunshine. It would be kind of cool to have collaborators/co-conspirators/spectators/alibis at this hour, but for some reason most of the world in my time-zone is decisively shut off at the moment. And, nobody knows that I’m not sick anymore. Ha! And if I called a girl I’d be totally busted for making a very late booty-call. Damn, I’m hungry, not my stomach, but my muscles and bones would really appreciate some nutrients, even just an orange. (Soon! I promise! The market opens in just a few hours). Sorry, distracted. I haven’t had human interaction since Saturday, and I haven’t spoken once, not even on the phone. Hmmmm, maybe I’ve started a vow of silence. The world should be so lucky!

A new song came to me while I was in and out of consciousness with fever. I’ll see if I can get a demo up soon. I had a notepad with me so I think I was able to write enough of it down to completely remember it. So here I am, I’m not dead, and thanks to all of you who sent me kind notes of concern. My fever also seems to have made something very clear for me, which I was (knowingly) quite delusional about. I thought I required further exorcism, but I know it’s done now.

Alright, into the studio I go. Hmmmm, a couple of the ghosts are back at the windows and the rest are gone. No rhyme or reason yet.

Stealthily yours,

Saint John

I am playing a very good benefit show this Saturday, June 6, at Saddleback College for the American Cancer Society. The event is called the Relay For Life, and it's a fundraiser to raise money to find a cure for cancer. 

1 in 3 of all Americans will get cancer. But we can find a cure, just like we did for Polio, Small Pox, etc. etc. When we set our minds to something we always succeed. So let's get together and help find the cure for cancer. 

We have set it up so you can donate however much you want to the Relay For Life here:


Please donate whatever amount you can (seriously, any amount will help) and I'll send you a link to download my song 'How' for free. That song was written for a little girl who was suffering from leukemia in the ICU. She didn't survive, but we can still try to help all the kids who are suffering from cancer now, and find a cure so one day there will be no future cancer victims. 

And if you can make the time, come out to the event. These events are truly magical, and will restore your faith in humanity. We go on at 7PM and promise to try to put on the best show we've ever played.

Thank you for your help,

SJ
