Wow, it's been a minute since I posted anything. It's been a heck of a busy year so far! I've been recording tons of bands at The Owlery, which has been great. Coaster's EP is being mixed now by Jonah Kort, and we're hoping for a spring release. Been working on a thing or two for Options as well, one of which I'll be recording sometime at the end of this month or in early March. Speaking of March, 3/5 will be my first show playing drums with Nnamdi Ogbonnaya's solo-project-band! Lots of cool stuff coming up - keep yer eyes peeled, yallllll!

I'm playing a solo show at Quenchers 12/26 with the Sooper Swag Project and Ratboys! Check it out here.

Options' newest LP, What You Want, will be out on 1/14 via Paco Tapes. Check out a video of the band playing Horizon, a tune from the album. I mixed this track, as well.

Coaster finished recording our EP. Off to mixing! We've been recording this since October... feels really good to have it finished. We'll also be playing the Beat Kitchen 1/9 with Rat Hammer. RSVP here.

Nnamdi Ogbonnaya's new album Despondent is out now. I recorded it with Adam Salsberg and mixed it solo. Have yourself a listen!




In more very exciting weird-music news, About a Million's new album that Anthony and I worked on for the last two years is finally finished being mixed! It was just sent off for mastering and release details are being worked out right now. It feels good to have all this stuff I've been working so hard on finally seeing the light of day. ONWARD.

Coaster has finished tracking instrumentals for our EP. Matt and I are halfway through vocals now, and should be finishing up next week. It sounds seriously crispy.

Nnamdi Ogbonnaya will be releasing a new EP called Despondent on 12/1. Keep updated via facebook. Me and Adam Salsberg (Cage Match, Oshwa, My Dad) recorded it together this summer, and I finished mixing it this fall.

I've been recording on an 8 track reel-to-reel machine at The Owlery, demoing new songs for a couple new bands. The first thing I did on it was an old Options tune from 2010. I put it up on my soundcloud.

I've got a couple really great projects coming up, but I don't wanna spill the beans too early.

I finished mixing Nnamdi Ogbonnaya's new EP, and he should be sending it off for mastering soon. We recorded the instrumentals in 11 hours over two days this summer, and he tracked most of the vocals at his house. Here's a song that Adam Salsberg and I recorded for Space Jam's compilation album:



I've been recording tracks for Mike Walker's new You Me & the People album, and they sound great so far. Mike's an excellent musician and you should definitely check out his work. Here's his track Adam and I recorded for the Space Jam compilation:




Dave Hennessy and I have been making steady progress on his debut full length, which is shaping up to be refreshingly varied and thought-out collection of sweet pop songs he loves to craft. Check out the final track from the last project we worked on together:



Exactly one week ago, Coaster began tracking our first EP. Drums are done, and everything else is in the works.

Cage Match finally posted two new songs, and will be playing our last show for a long while this Saturday, 9/14, at the Flowershop in Humboldt Park, Chicago.

Well, it took quite a long while, but I finally got around to redesigning my site! I'll be updating it much more regularly than I have been, and I hope you'll have a look around to see what's new. So anyway, here's what I've been up to:

 - Just got back from an almost-3-week-tour with Coaster. We released a new tour demo that I recorded and mixed as well, with the intent of working towards an EP in the very near future.

- Lots of Options shows coming up, as well as recording for a couple new releases that should be out this fall/winter.

-  About A Million's LP that Anthony and I have been working on for the last two years is nearly complete and will hopefully be released within the next month.

- Cage Match finished basic tracking for an LP. We're playing our last show for a whiiiile at The Flowershop.

- I've been recording and producing lots of music for other people! Lately, I've been working with the likes of Nnamdi Ogbonnaya, You Me & the People, Dave Hennessy, and many more. If you're interested in recording with me, please get in touch!
