The Black Heartthrobs!

Andy — Wed, 10 Feb 2010 00:52:23 +0000

Playing with Jane and David of The Black Heartthrobs is satisfying for many reasons: They’re of the rare breed of musicians who can throw a Hefty™ bag filled with vegetable soup out of a four-story building onto the sidewalk and have it sound musical, they have an amazing studio filled with electronic candy & they frequently break into Rush songs (below). We’re playing Thursday at The ArtWalk in Downtown LA and again in Anaheim next week. Check us out, shorty.

Time must be relative because although it was 5 AM PST, once we plugged in our guitars in Park City, Utah, I was no longer an undulating Leviathan that hadn’t had it’s coffee…

Mia Sable :: Light :: Apple Store Performance :: Chamberlain Hotel

Mia Sable "Light"

I’m proud to tell you that I performed on Mia Sable’s upcoming album “Light”! The sessions were produced by Jim Wirt (Fionna Apple, early Incubus, Something Corporate etc.) at 4th Street Recording along with Mia, who got final say, and it worked. The result is a fresh album that doesn’t try to ride a the rail until the next trend or bring a temporary onslaught of depression. It’s honest in it’s musical vocabulary and there are moments that make you dance, smile and spend the extra few dollars to buy apples and beer at Whole Foods to give your friends.

Mia Sable is a post-melodramatic, straight-to-the-point musical seamstress who can read and interpret people. We have been performing together for a few years and not once has she entertained the offer or thought of handing over they keys to a manager. Another cool thing about Mia is that she brings high-production value to her shows, band, bookings, finances, web presence, video content, and music.

We have a series of performances coming up, including a performance at The Apple Store this Saturday, August 1, a CD Release Party @ The Chaimberlain Hotel (invite only) and a few other places where your feet won’t stick to the ground while listening. Check us out and pick up a one of these for a one of these.

If I had known it was that kind of party...

Zack Wiesinger, guitarist extraordinaire/mad-hatter and I will be playing four shows in New York City next week. Although Zack and I are both from Pittsburgh, we didn’t link-up until I received an email from Steve Vai’s mailing list letting me know that Zack was going to be opening for Steve’s European and US tour. I checked out his stuff and dug the hell out of it. When we started playing together, I grew as a musician. We eventually found an apartment where we could make serious amounts of noise around the clock. Zack and I decided that if we were going to do these shows, every song would have to say something that hasn’t been said before. Otherwise, what are we doing?
