Went to the coldest place in America to shoot a big production video with Lo Fi Sugar featuring werewolves, snow, bass guitars with bayonets, Sammy Davis Jr., a couple hundred extras and a whole lot more. Had a blast, and Bemidji may be cold, but the people are the warmest you can find. Video should be ready by 01/2008 so stay tuned, and in the meantime, here are some photos:
Went on a big fancy tour with Kalifornium in March and April of 2007, and there is photographic evidence of this. We played with two really awesome bands, On A Dead Machine from Memphis and Martyr Reef from Seattle.

Shakalaka
One sneak preview from the upcoming record. The first album is available on iTunes for your buying pleasure.
Cheem
Billie Sola is definitely one of the very best songwriters I have encountered. Here are a couple tracks I did a ton of stuff for - drums, guitar, synth, programming, tracking, production. Basically Billie and I did everything at my house with the help of Mr. June Kato, a stellar bass player. The tracks haven't been mixed or mastered, yet they rock.

Owl
My good friend Chris Wyse's solo nomenclature. We have collaborated on many things, and he is Irish. He is currently off playing bass for The Cult. Mr. Freedom Allen and Mr. Ryan Brown are listed as co-conspirators. Tracked by superstar mixer Francis Buckley and producer Mikal Reid. We had a fun time at Cherokee Studios tracking these songs, and here is my feeble attempt at a mix. Someday a professional will fix this up nicely... ESP is on the Monster Garage compilation for Season 2 and was also in the show.
Scott Weiland
Another of the very best songwriters out there. His solo stuff is amazing, and of course STP is a household name. I had one of the best stage experiences ever, combined with some good times in the studio with my always close friend and current business partner, Mr. Freedom Allen as well as Mr. Douglas Grean, Mr. Chris Wyse, and Mr. Frank Reina. We recorded two tracks for Austin Powers 2, and Time of the Season was used. No one ever got to hear the awesome version of Bowie's Ashes to Ashes which is a shame, but now you can!
TIME OF THE SEASON | ASHES TO ASHES
Casey Bowen
This is an interesting track that had a lot of cooks in the kitchen. I miss you Casey! We had Roy Hay (for you kids out there, he played guitar for Culture Club and is responsible for the hits and he now is a killer movie composer) providing score and production. Ambr.Sea, a now defunct, yet awesome, electronica trio added production and parts, Mike Wilson from Capsule did a ton of stuff, and of course that is Casey singing and I did the rest. It ended up as the closing song in The Breed which is out on DVD from Sony Pictures. Fun with orchestra samples! I think we called it Endless because it runs about 9 minutes...
Capsule
My good friend Mike Wilson's project from the year 2000. He is now busy owning the Viper Room and has put his bass and keyboard down and I have not successfully convinced him to pick them back up. Here is a track from our hit record. If you like it, go buy it! Additionally, in our very finest hour, Mike and I convinced Laura to sing a cover of Sexy Mexican Maid for a Red Hot Chili Peppers tribute record. I busted out my very best porno wah guitar for this awesome girl on maid action track that I guarantee you is musical viagra. Laura got sweet on that ass like a muthafuckin' diabetic yo.
As a bonus, here is the Ambr.Sea remix of Landscape powered by the world famous Ryeland Allison AKA Ryebot. Your E will kick in around 4:30 and if you saw us live you'll have flashbacks to all the illegal...um, "raves" I think the kids called them, which Mike and I threw way back in '99. Good times. We were happy to break even, and boast a zero fatality rate throughout our reign.

Detroit's Screamin' Demons
My very good friend Scott Wexton, now on tour as a solo act coming to you everywhere as The Voodoo Organist. Before that, we had a mixture that could only come straight outta Detroit - DJ, theremin, organ, keys and drums - techno meets Foetus meets Hawkins meets yer mama. I got to overplay a lot, and this was recorded at Ton, totally OG stylie - 2" tape, recorded and mixed in 3 days and we had to commit! That's the problem with ProTools or Logic. You keep tinkering. I think I prefer the OG. A curmudgeon by the age of 30.
