ATTN: MUSIC LOVERS (sxsw)

So,
As some of you know, there have been some recent, strange and hilarious, even if insanely frustrating changes in my whole situation...

The whirling dervish of Life...

Because of which, I will not be able to see any of your beautiful faces in Austin this week.

But, while I'm staying in LA for writing and preproduction on some (very exciting) new music, I do have a few friends who are Extremely Excited to be doin their own things at Southby.

Just wanted to letya know, to inform that if you have an open hour, or somethin you were "supposed" to see, but don't reeaally want to, these shows won't disappoint.
DIG! :)

Tell em Frenchie said "RocknRoll!"


#1- The Sweet Kill
THURSDAY @ 2pm
Maggie Mae's
(Rooftop, great for a lunch/show)

THURSDAY @ 8pm
Shakespeare's Pub
(Good spot for a dinner/show)

[My amazing friend Pete Mills, and his crew of lunatics,
A very Modern, Electronicish Rockband, ready to jumpstart their plan for world domination, a little early-
just for the element of surprise.]

#2- Emily Wells
THURSDAY @ 11pm
Buffalo Billiards

FRIDAY @ 1pm
Convention Center (sxsw)

[This girl, Emily, is one of the most talented, unique new songwriters and performers I know.
All songs off her "debut record" are called symphonies, and besides the deeply badass jazz grooves woven into them by her phenomenal band, they are.
She plays violins, toy pianos, an array of analog and digital effects systems, and sings (beautifully).
Its sorta jaw-dropping.
Plus, she's supercute and very sweet.]

FRIDAY @ 2.30pm

FRIDAY @ 10.30pm

[Ok, shit- if the amount and quality of these slots don't impress you, or show you how hard universal is pushin these kids, their show will do the rest. Good friends, good kids, good show. For real. Greg, I belive I took you with me to see them before we split last year- their show has improved exponentionally since. If you can, go.]
Universal/Motown


These are all good friends,
None of which asked me to mention them, but its what we do.

They're all Children-

Have a blast,
I hope you're wearin comfy footwear- foxy, that means YOU


TRAVEL SAFE.

A New Day is in Bloom

So,
I've received so many emails and beautiful comments, from those of you who have heard this-or-that about the state of affairs with Palmerston.

In response to this,
I have no comment...
Other than:

Thankyou,
For being you,
And being so supportive and concerned with me as an artist and what it is I'll be doin for you next.

You're so RocknRoll :)

and regardless,
As far as I'm concerned,
I'm an artist, and what I do is create art.
So whether with Palmerston, or any pieces thereof, or not-
I'm actively workin on some new treasure for your EARS, EYES and SOUL, NOW.

I'm actually very excited about the stuff that's been comin together, as are some other people I am grateful to have in my life-network.

Make sure to keep your
Eyes, Ears and Mind
WIDE OPEN...
And tuned to this page,
Among others (listed below) for more updates as they come.

Sittin on the Coffee Bean patio, on Sunset here in Hwood, watchin the sun set...
I couldn't be more aware of the grand, mysterious beauty of things...

...Or more grateful for YOU.

Hit me up!
