Some of you know I went to Austin for this years SXSW w/ Alisa (my trusty child bride and partner in crime). It was so awesome! Of course I wanted to bring the whole band but I didnt really have any idea as to how it would work. Now I do! Big thanks to John Warner (or logo/poster designer) for setting me up with a solo gig at his showcase at Headhunters! That was awesome! It motivated me to find a way to make a very unhuman instroument (the keytar) and make it as expressive as an accoustic guitar. It was fun I split the keyboard playing bass lines in the Left hand and chords on my right! ha ha! I performed a set of about 12 songs, a mixture of Pandacon tracks and Chris Poage solo tunes.

I also went to a cool party called Fuck by Fuck You and hung with Seattle band: A Gun that Shoots Knives. Then we got in to a special M. Ward Concert that was also a KEXP broadcast / video shoot! That was awesome! We saw Staxx play as well as the Elevaters from LA and Kentucky Nightmare from the midwest. . and many more bands too many to mention but the whole time I  promoted Panda Conspiracy a lot by means of My hot shorts.
