Free Sample + Grampus 1/21/12

If you haven't gotten to hear or see Free Sample yet, it's probably because we've only performed a few times. Tomorrow's your chance! Free Sample is led by my good friend and guitarist, Brice Albert, and is a cool mixture of electronic music styles slammed into a live context. We've got a diverse and fun set ready to rock, so come down to the Handbag Factory downtown and check it out. This is a new venue for me but it looks like they put on a lot of different kinds of shows and art, so I'm looking forward to checking it out. The show starts at 8:30pm, with a total of five bands. Free Sample is second-to-last, right before Grampus, an incredible trio of drumset, trombone, and trumpet, all processing in real time with electronics. This is an impressive group with a forthcoming album...treat yourself!

FREE SAMPLE at Webers Place 10/27

This Thursday, enjoy a brand new musical excursion, FREE SAMPLE. Led by guitarist and video game enthusiast Brice Albert, the music is a funky-fresh mix of electronica meets acoustica, analog synths and grooves. This is the least "jazz" band I'm in right now, so you should take a gander and see what lies beyond. Webers Place is a sports bar in the San Fernando Valley with a laid back vibe, tons of good beers on tap, and some delicious fried munchies, not to mention this killer new Thursday night music series.

Gonna be at least this exciting

New Music

A quick hello and some recent/upcoming happenings!

Last night I had the pleasure of seeing and experiencing an album pre-release show by Louis Cole and Genevieve Artadi. Their second album, "Think Thoughts", should prove to be a continually strong follow-up of their self-titled debut, a roar of analog synth meeting groove-crushing drumset with voice weaving in, around, and through. These two are really into something fresh and invigorating, and their multi-media set last night shows their increasing ability and strength in a live setting. Get a piece of their youtube channel and get you ears around their albums!

I'm gearing up for a couple of maiden voyage performances with a new group. Led by guitarist Brice Albert, the group Free Sample draws heavily from electronic influences, especially the musical machinery of Bjork and the crunchy analog of 1990's video game music. We're doing an hour set at noon this Friday (10/21) at CalArts, and the following Thursday we're performing at Weber's Place in Reseda. This new Thursday night series has produced some great nights already, so we're excited to jump in...more details soon.
