A Sneak Peak!

Here's a video of me doing a tune from my upcoming album! This is from a long time ago, one late night when I was a guest on my friend Sam Schacter's radio show. The video quality is not that great but I thought it would be cool to show some of whats to come. The tune on my album will sound much different but the general progression and lyrics are the same- the rest you'll just have to wait and find out about for yourself...

here's the lyrics to "Iodine"

you had a lot of faith
but you're walking away from it
your city's big
I never got used to it
you're a China doll
in a sea full of mines and blunt objects
you're a wishing wall
laziest days full of unfinished projects

all we know, on our feet
it hurts our feet when we walk away
and if things don't change we'll be walking away again

at the sink
wash the worlds dishes you swallow your pride
its unsettling
you might have lived cause somebody died
if you give it up
nothing more than a shadow tucked under a light
you're a ticking bomb
a mixture of chlorine and iodine

all we know, hands and knees
it hurts them please, don't crawl away
all we get is a look at days
mistakes we made and bread we wasted
and if things don't change we'll be crawling away again

all we know, on our backs
the books are stacked and slowly falling
all we get is the spit we make
don't tell me about breaks that will never happen
if things don't change we'll be running away, if things don't change we'll be running away and if things don't change we'll be running away from it.

And now, one for the gearheads

I've been asked a few times recently to talk about my gear- guitars, amp, set up etc. So I decided to post a few pics of my stuff..

My Taylor 5-15 ce grand auditorium. This is one of the nicest sounding guitars I have ever played. Although its so sensitive to humidity it is my pride and joy and I'll have it around forever. In this picture I'm playing it on the Shack Attack radio show


Here's my 1972 reissue Fender Telecaster Deluxe. Its a bit of a Frankenstein guitar. Mexican body, with an American Strat neck. Outfitted with tex-mex pickups. this ones a screamer. I think I'm on tour with the boomerangs in Danbury, CT in this pic.


1990 Gibson SG. I really don't play her much anymore she appears during recording sessions when I need that ballzy sound. This guitar is such a powerhouse. I'm pictured here with my good friend Reid, sometime in High School

All bark and all bite. The Fender Deville 2X12 180 Watt tube amp. I will never play through anything else so long as I am alive


Finally here's me on my Gretsch Catalina birch. This picture is way back from highschool jazz band, and yes this is the kit I play with in Wyldlife. I use DW hardware, Zildjian new beat hats, and a Sabian 22inch Manhattan crash/ride. Yes for simplicity.

That's my gear! any questions or comments hit me up! I'll hopefully be posting videos of me rocking this stuff soon.
