Here's What I've been working on lately:
12-29-21 Currently playing bass in The Coffee Sergeants.
I've been a fan for a long, long time and this muic is a blast. Carey is an amazing songwriter.
Hopefully, COVID on't keep us from gigging much longer becasue rehearsalsare sounding really good.
I wrote up a little thing about finally having the pefect bass rig.
11-26-16 - New Carbon 7 session has been uploaded.
Also, I have been playing in Buzzie the last couple years & should note that here.
Fun power-pop written by John McElhenney.
We'll be playing the International Pop Overthrow on Dec. 10th
Here's some pictures of Buzzie Playing IPO at the Cavern Club in Liverpool.
-------------------------------------------------------
2-1-15: Carbon 7 now has a Bandcamp page, with 4 albums up for sale in all
sorts of high quality audio formats. I recently re-visited and re-mixed
a session of our from 2012 called Soundtrack To An Eclipse,
which we literally recorded during a partial solar eclipse.
I think it's some of our best work & some of my best bass playing.
-------------------------------------------------------
9-28-13: I recently sat in with Fred Mitchim's band The Tommy Hall Schedule
at Trailer Space Records on Rosewood ave. & I recorded the show
to 8 tracks on my spiffy Fociusrite Saffire Pro 40. I live this device.
Results are below. Some of the content is variable in quality, but Kingdom of Heaven
really stands out to me. Very vibey & paced. All Songs originally
performed by the 13th Floor Elevators.
1 She Lives in a Time of Her Own
2. Kindom of Heaven
3. Reverberation
4. Levitation
5. Slip Inside This House
-------------------------------------------------------
10-12-12 The Carbon 7 site is up and running, with about 7 hours-worth of audio on it already.
Before Carbon 7, there was The Atomic Energy Commission, which was me, Dennis Bruhn and Fred Mitchim. Here's us doing a 27-minute version of the Beatle's Within You, Without You, from late 2011.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3-4-12 I've re-mixed the 5 whores songs, and re-posted them on the Whores page, at left, under projects.
My old friends Dennis Bruhn, Ron Tindle & I have officially begun a new
project putatively called Carbon 7. We're playing spontaneous "Space Jazz" & free-form psychedelic
improvizational music. We played for an hour at Junior's in Round Rock on 3-3-12
& didn't run everyone off, much to our surprise. Songs are so last century.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
9-16-11 Got together with my old friends Fred Mitchim and Dennis Bruhn in August of 2011
for the first time in quite a while. We just jammed, but Fred recorded it.
Here's 14 minutes of us making it up as we go
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
9-4-10 Practicing with a new tribute project called
The Yes Men
with my old friends John Viehweg,
Brain Harmer, Mickey McGee and Patrick McFarland"
