Conan O’Brien

John — Sat, 02 Feb 2008 01:05:21 +0000

We had a last minute booking on Conan O’Brien this week. I had such a blast since Conan is right under Saturday Night Live as far a dream T.V. show appearances. I have a copy of the performance here. It is a large file (over 40 megs) so don’t try it if you are on dial up.

Best of Austin Music Poll

John — Tue, 15 Jan 2008 18:43:18 +0000

Car Crash Video

John — Thu, 15 Nov 2007 13:57:53 +0000

The video we did for Car Crash is finished and is now in rotation on VH1.

Check it out!

Some free Car Crash

John — Wed, 26 Sep 2007 06:56:03 +0000

Car Crash is the single of the week on iTunes and it’s free. I’m pretty happy with my bass playing on it so go download it. (Opens iTunes)

Some Mad Hope (streaming)

John — Wed, 29 Aug 2007 16:59:18 +0000

I am really proud of this record, so I want to share it with you. I hope you all go buy it, but I put together a flash jukebox of the record so you can check it out. Continue reading to see it.

Some Mad Hope by the numbers

John — Fri, 24 Aug 2007 15:25:36 +0000

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:

Video of the Making of “Some Mad Hope”

John — Tue, 07 Aug 2007 02:26:59 +0000

This Summer and Fall

John — Tue, 31 Jul 2007 03:18:04 +0000

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.
