Yeah yeah yeah! It's been a few weeks since I updated here. I know. Things get busy, I forget, then I get sick..... and before you know it, time has flown. Well, whatever - here I am again. And the video above was sent to me just now - I LOVE the woman texting in the middle of the song!! It was shot at the Montlebarn Theater in Los Angeles at "The Heart Is A Drum Machine" movie premiere. Looks pretty good and sounds ok. Nice Gibson Songwriter acoustic too!
Talking of Gibson, I met with my people in the New York office last week when I was out East Coast way, and we are looking at a May 2010 release for my guitar. I still can't give away too many details or pics, but we have changed the design. It's reverting back to a design that I have wanted for about 5 years - it's simpler but way cooler and I am really happy we're doing this one. Once all the paperwork is done, I will do a blog about all the details, what takes the time.... a detailed look inside what goes into the making of a personal model. It's been a learning process for sure, but I am excited by what we are doing and look forward to being able to share pics and details with you all.
Also, we will be announcing some Camp Freddy Xmas shows any day now. I guess I'm wrong to even bring it up right now before it's all officially locked in..... but whatever! Same deal as last year, folks. If it ain't broke, don't fix it, right? And last year's shows were off the chain, so why not do it again? Be excited. Looks like we are gonna have a major party here in LA this holiday season! I promise the details will be up here the moment we lock it all down. What else? Well, I went out to New York and saw one of the most amazing live shows ever - The 25th Anniversary Rock N Roll Hall Of Fame shows at Madison Square Garden. I mean.....Metallica, U2, Ozzy, Black Eyed Peas, Lou Reed, Bruce Springsteen, Mick Jagger, Aretha Franklin, Patti Smith, Jeff Beck, Billy Gibbons and Jerry Lewis. All at once! An amazing show. Afterwards, I DJ'd the party at The Hard Rock. The less said about that, the better! All I can say is..... weddings, funerals and bat mitzvahs, people!!
Back in LA, it's been all about motorcycles. I have been riding with a bunch of friends and grabbed a beautiful 09 Triumph Speed Triple as my ride. Of course, nothing stock is good enough for me (I just HAVE to tweak!) so it's been undergoing some pretty tasty mods. The people at Alpinestars and Bulletproof Clothing Co. in the UK have been amazing to us all and kitted us all out in the best gear. Look out for some features in the bike mags soon. And a big thanks to Jess and all at RockMoto.Com. They came out and spent a day riding with us in the canyons and filming it all for a video piece that will be going up on their site very soon. Again, I will get that up here once it's live!
Well, that's about it for today. New music will accompany the release of the guitar (in the shape of a four track solo EP that I recorded earlier this year with my good friend Patrick Cornell) - we decided that the guitar was the best way to put that out. There will be a limited edition Hard Copy CD with full artwork thats only available with the guitar.....and the digital versions will be available on all major online services (I-Tunes, Amazon etc). Also, if the Rock Gods align and luck shines down, there may be some other new music from me coming your way in 2010.....but it's WAY to early to talk about THAT one. So......have a great rest of the week. Now that I'm recovering from the Flu (I'm convinced it was a rare strain of Chilean Mountain Goat Flu!!), I'm gonna get on the bike and ride, pick up a guitar and play (just like yesterday!!) and enjoy my life. Peace out.
