We are ROAMING CRAZY and we are alive online here (and sorta here so far). You can stream our debut track "Stares 2020" and soon enough purr-chase it. I am twiddling knobs and playing some keys in this lineup and it's been a blast trying to make some fresh sounds. It ain't what most would call the funk but life is just so complex, I had to get my rocks off!
Being the weird post-everything music industry that it is, we have more merchandise than songs available. Killer! Head over to the Roaming Crazy Store to see our new sexy shirt models, you won't be disappointed.
We have a new video from 2MERICA posted. This one gets you on the bike and zooming around town with Ezraz Jones and his panfunktual bonobos. Watch out for the signs!
We have some pre-winter storms rolling through so I watch this with instant nostalgia. Stupid skorpion monkeys.
It has begun it's journey through the tubes of the internet, fresh from a session at The All Night Party and sounding so tasty. You will need to cue it up right after "Never Met Tomorrow" for part 2 of Scherzo Elskorpion, the 3rd 2MERICA LP in progress.
We can't link to buy or even preview yet since those links don't exist. Just wanted to drop some pre-release hype onto the internut to show some charisma. C'mon people! Update: Just went live on CDBaby. More to come as they pop.
If you get Comcast cable in the US they are pushing a new channel called The A&R Channel which features up and coming artists' videos and news. They have selected the 2MERICA video "Extraordinary Rendition" for rotation, so check it out and report back!
I cashed a few checks today. One was from "record sales" and one was from a "live performance". Neither was very large but they were there. Do either come close to being repayment for the time, sweat, and emotion spent on these artistic ventures?
Not a chance. Being raised in a broken family in a broken town forces me to understand being broke. The 2MERICA project has in it's many manifesto-wannabee's the line "Art for our sake" and I've always modulated on every single word there. I think Art? For? Our? Sake? It's all in doubt when it's all working right.
Damn straight it felt good cashing those checks but the money was spent on interest on my other debts before it even cleared. The joy was in the notice, the slow-build that 2MERICA has been forced into. We see if/when you stream or legally-download (sometimes even preview!) our music. We don't tour so please consider not bootlegging our tracks, and if you must, at least share it with someone if you like it. Pay it forward, like that movie with the homeless mom.
Another week means another remix. Tonight I'm doing a live 2MERICA remix project along with some excellent additions from more robots than people on my table tonight. To combat these gadget ghouls I have armed myself with some fresh audio live from TV and some fresh tricks from my digits.
If you have any idea what any of this means, I'll see you at the Duck Island Club tonight. For those of you not enjoying life in Cleveland someday soon I'll be recording my set and perhaps sharing online somehow.
