hello hello-

first off, many thanks to everyone who came out to arlene's last week- i had a great time, and was really happy to see so many people come out late on a tuesday night.

while i don't have any shows scheduled at the moment, I am certainly going to be busy in the months ahead. I've been working on recording a batch of new tunes here in my bedroom in brooklyn, and, based on the way things have been going along so far, I'm thinking that they might be good enough quality to post on myspace, and maybe even release. at this point, what I had initially intended to be an ep's worth of new music is shaping up to be an album. so, while I'm really happy with the songs that will eventually comprise the new record, the project is taking a little longer than i anticipated, which will hopefully result in better recordings and a stronger record in the long run.

in addition, i'm embarking on a (probably ill-advised) adventure to write a musical with some friends this fall. more on that later...

i know for sure that i'll be performing at the international pop overthrow festival in october or november, and I'll post dates on that as soon as they're confirmed. I'll also start booking gigs regularly around then as well.

thank you so much for listening to the baby train/bothering to read this blog. i'll check in again soon, hopefully with some bad-ass tunes in tow. until then...
