Two of my photos were used for the layout on WHIFF 's new 7-inch "Warm/ Left at Princess". This is Wallride Record's 20th release; "Two fast ultra catchy power pop songs that bring to mind both the early LOOKOUT catalogue and the downstroked rhythms and infectious melodies of the MARKED MEN. 300 copy split release with SP RECORDS in Japan, on black, green and blue vinyl." Go to wallriderecords.com and pick up a copy from their online store!

Entire Boss DJ mixtape catalog now available for free download!!!


...Over 30 hours of mixtapes with the Boss DJs (Brad Writer, Darick Sater, Mike Stearns, Nick Geppert, and Kevin Alban) spinning records from their own collections using two turntables and a microphone. The dj sessions were recorded to a Nakamichi DR-2 cassette tape recorder; using the power of analog to absorb microphone feedback, low frequency rumbles, and spikes between record transitions.

Photo courtesy of CLYDE HYDE. I wrote a song called “Shocked” and performed it with Misuser. Hott Fest June 23, 2012. I couldn’t hear myself too well amongst the drums and guitars, so I had to raise my pitch to match up- I read the lyrics cause there were too many words to remember.
