OOPS

Haha yeah so I forgot I had a website, a lot has happened since I updated.

For now, I'll just leave to pieces of info: I'm on Patreon
I post about every ten days or so. 2 dollar patrons get any videos I make, posts about my equipment, tour stories, etc and some BgO patreon exclusive/rare songs. $6 patrons get songs I write every week (barring unusual circumstances of course)

Second, I'm going on tour again! It's with The Three-Brained Robot. I may also head out in May/June for some west coast happenings, but we'll see!!

 

PERFECT LIFE & OTHER STUFF OUT NOW



Perfect Life & Other Stuff is a collaboration with my 17 year old self, and the latest and absolutely greatest Bubblegum Octopus album. Everything the project sought out to accomplish is here, and I'm incredibly proud of this one. Pay for it if you like, tape and 3" CDR version are on the way, stream it on Spotify, Apple, etc.

In otherr news, I'm currently working on some soundtrack stuff, a collaboration with Devi McCallion of Black Dresses, and working out a North American and Japanese tour route for the end of the year! I hope to see you there (^o^!)

THE RETURN HOME

After over two months of driving across North America and screaming at strangers, I am back in NJ!
Calling it a "whirlwind" truly does the level of absolute chaos and joy I experienced no justice at all. I'll just say that I'm so glad there are so many amazing cuties and weirdos willing to find cathartic release with me through the power of what can perhaps only be described as synthpop grindcore rave. (We've been calling it "spazzpop for almost a decade now though, eh?)
I'm extremely excited to get back out there!!



In other news, I have a new soundtracky album of battle music, breaks, ambience, and happy hardcore over on the Catthew bandcamp, which is perfect timing because daaang I need some work!! I'm a music teacher and gigging bassist, and some sociopath in Vancouver broke into where I was staying and smashed my fucxing bass for no reason at all. Add to that the EXTREMELY expensive car repairs I ended up with as soon as the tour ended and I'm lookin' at being stuck for a while.

It's also now possible to listen to Critters and TAFKA8LDM on Spotify! I sold out of Critters tapes and EVERY NIGHT of tour, at least one person asked me if I was gonna put Critters on Spotify. THERE IT IS! (Apple Music too)

In the meantime, I'm mixing Perfect Life & Other Stuff, a mini-album I started in 2006(!) and will be releasing on MY favorite obscure format: mini-CD
That will be courtesy of my friends at Pattern Recognition Records.

Oh! And I have new t-shirt and tanktop designs for sale!



Okay, that's enough of me pretending to know how to URL. Bye!
