a Tosa Kicks (thatās me, solo :) show will be happening on Saturday, March 7 @youngethels in Park Slope. Also on the bill is Wisco pal @danparkers.damagereport and the show starts about 3pm; I play first; no cover š¤
Photo evidence of some good and/or personally important things from the past year (+Modern Love RIP!). Can we eke out some more good? 2026 kicked off with the swearing-in of a new mayor in NYC. May he be protected and successful. May all be fed and cared for! Where necessary, by us. š¤āļøš¶
When I RSVPād to attend the show last Sunday marking the 20th annual (!) Holiday Recording Party put on by @meg_lapins I was reminded of this song I wrote for the 2020 edition (amazing they did not skip that yearā¦ most of it was just done remotely). Fun to revisit this ode to trees, not least because of the great players who sat in. With Meg engineering/mixing, @jpbrooklyn1 on drums, and @violistakaren on viola. You can hear the whole song by clicking the bandcamp link in my profile (and check out a bazillion other original cool HRP songs while youāre there). Second slide is a shot from that lovely Sunday show @jalopybrooklyn š#original #music #community
Working with our hands in the garage, in the garden, in the kitchen these past two weeks... Couldnāt have hired a better contractor, had better weather (til this morning! āļø), or a better outcome. š #homestead
Pulling Weeds, a pandemic side project, led by Pete Cenedella @thepeteman and featuring Scott Anthony and Joe Dessereau, has this creepy video out for the song āDark River Of Dreamsā on which I did some lead guitar work (I think I was channeling a muscle car on this solo? a fun vibe to play around with) and vocalsā¦ check out the full vid on yatube at the link in my bio š¤@newdealrecords@crestonguitars #spooky #rocknroll #music
āValentine From Hellā was an early-pandemic collab @gretschgirl1 and I made over emails when we werenāt doing any face-to-face music. Itās called a āValentineā but since the words address one of the ghoulish figures in govāt, it may as well be filed under Horror/Halloween š¦ Featuring some BTS from 2019 tours, video shot at Green-Wood Cemetery, and a pinup lady lamp that later went missing from our rehearsal spaceā¦ #sad
Some may also recognize the dog in the Cutlass Supreme from the cover of our second album, Dirty Power š¤
Terrifyingly Lo-fi, recorded on iphone and Garageband. Enjoy!
