Drummer of things like The Royal Arctic Institute and Das Damen, among others….DadRock, DogRock, but no KidRock. Could use more posts about Richard Lewis.

It’s true—we’ve got a few shows coming up in July! Kicking things off with some hometown pride in #Hoboken, then heading down to Alexandria, VA (just outside DC?), and back up to Lancaster, PA. Hope to see you there! #getinthevan @centripetalforce.bsky.social

Awesome looking flyer that AI had nothing to do with as a crow with a top hat drives a convertible. Three gigs - July 24th Hoboken, July 25th Alexandria VA July 26th Lancaster PA.

Unfortunately, my friend has to part with his two-day VIP pass for the Dromedary Festival this weekend in Catskill. Yo La Tengo, Scrawl, Salem 66, plenty of ’80s/’90s favorites (plus some fresh faces). $72, with $10 going to a local food bank. DM me if you’re interested!

if i couldn't draw 40 people to a club in Bushwick on a Friday night, i wouldn't blame the club...

Our big weekish of rock is coming up fast! Next Thurs the 24th in #Hoboken at Sinatra Park, then the 25th in #DC at #galacticpanther, and the 26th in #LancasterPA. Timely "joke"? CEOs +1 welcome — we won’t tell HR. Oofa, I got a million of ’em but I gave them to Stephen Colbert :(

Thank you friends @aquariumdrunkard.com ❤️ ! "A super-dreamy effort from this NYC-based instrumental combo, fulfilling the promise of their earlier releases and adding some welcome new elements." Two posts in one day? This is a busy news cycle i can get behind!

since it is impossible to edit a blue sky post, we will have to live with the fallout of angry RAI fans. Set up those barricades, it could make Jan. 6th look like a picnic.

We're “live” today on @wfmu.bsky.social for the #scottwilliams show. 3:00PM . Recorded last week, then we added a few samples, replaced the rhythm section with Carole Kaye and Jim Keltner (thanks, click track),and let Yngwie Malmsteen overdub a bit. Mixed by Bob Rock. Otherwise, it’s what we played.
