I decided to put up a new song in conjunction with this Sussedtacular gig next week. The song is called "Beside Herself". It's an outtake from the solo record. I don't know why I didn't put it on the actual record, at the time it seemed like it had too much electric guitar. Listening to it now I must remark on how damned high it all sounds. I forgot about the diminished 5th in the 6 minor chord in the verses…dissonant as the song's subject. Anyways, hope you enjoy it.

The full lineup of the show is:

Me plus the group (Peter Anderson, Marc Perlman, Tim Oesau, Eric Lovold)
Janey and Marc
Phear and the Bullet (hot duo action featuring Phil Solem of the Rembrandts and Ryan Smith of the Melismatics)
Joe Werner (Strange Lights/First Communion Afterparty guitarist in rare acoustic performance)

I'm playing a show at the Bryant-Lake Bowl theater on Tuesday Feb. 26th as part of the 4th anniversary celebration for the Susstones-sponsored DJ event Sussed. I'll be playing a full set with the same band as on the record release show at the Varsity in November, and I'm really excited about getting back on the stage again!

Also on the show are Janey and Marc and a couple of other groups yet to be announced. There's no cover charge, and the show starts at 10 pm. More details soon.
