this is the first of a bunch of videos from a show i played at last month to celebrate my friend Maya’s birthday (good friends Zoogirl and Your Rival also played).

there’s a youtube playlist with all of my songs from the show: here.

i did a similar thing at her party last year, most of the same songs, so i wanted to try to do something a little different, little special, and was able to convince one of my most favorite people/musicians, the incredible Lane Barrington, who fronts the fucking incredible as shit in every way band The Ocean Floor, to do a little drumming with me for the night. we got together a couple of times that week to rehearse and work out the songs, and i had way way too much fun rocking out with him in Rocco’s very small, very loud basement, drinking quite a bit of wine, eating quite a few veggie bagel burgers, and getting my mind quite a bit blown in a sea of sweaty bodies by the awesomeness that was Zoogirl’s set.

mp3s of my set are: here.

much love,
