Some Mad Hope by the numbers
It is finally out. It’s a week and a half old and it’s selling well.
It was in the top ten of iTunes all of last week and got as high as five before spending a few days at number six and most importantly it debut at #60 on the Billboard top 200 chart.
Pretty cool:

This Summer and Fall
I had a great 3 1/2 month run helping out my friend Patrice Pike while she looked for a new bass player. (congrats Glenn!) I’m really going to miss playing with her, but it’s time to move one with the rest of the year and that all about “Some Mad Hope.” It hits the stores on August 14th and will be on Vanguard Records. The Fall tour is right around the corner and most of the dates are confirmed.

You Tube-age
Here is a clip from the Cutting Room on Jan. 27th in NY. Matt played a small sold out solo show a couple of days before the MSG show. Aaron, Lyle and myself left our killer dinner a little early to go sit in with Matt on a couple of songs since there was some backline (amps, drums) at the club. It was our first time playing out with Lyle Molzan on drums. I think he did a great job.
Ladies and Gentlemen…I present Car Crash.
