Record Recall Party!

Monday, Dec 9
8:00 pm
Union Hall
702 Union St. (at 5th Ave) Brooklyn
Tickets available here.
With special guests A Brief View of the Hudson and Tom Shillue!

Some of you may have noticed the odd occurrences that have been reported in the iTunes reviews for my latest album Keep Your Jazz Hand Strong. There have been so many in fact that I’ve been advised to issue a recall of the CD, and instead of doing a boring press conference or social media outreach I decided to just have a recall party.

It’ll be like a record release party—I’ll play a full set of songs from the album (in a safe, live environment), and there will be a couple of very special guests.

And best of all, the entire show in only $8, it’s at a great Brooklyn venue, and there’s no drink minimum!

So come if you can, and if you’re one of the folks who have been hurt or inured by the CD version of the album, bring it down and you can exchange it for a copy that has been tested and approved by the FDA, the EPA, and OSHA.

Hope to see you there!

Laughingstock Music Festival–Aug 25, Chicago, IL

The Laughingstock Music Fest will be bringing over 30 comedy music acts to Chicago’s legendary rock club Double Door for a day-long orgy of music-infused comedy. Rocking 2 stages from 3pm to midnight, Laughingstock is going to be one hell of an event.

I’ll be hitting the mainstage around 8:45pm for a nice 25-minute set and I couldn’t be more excited. This is my first show back in Chicago in over a year and a half! That’s just too darn long.

I hope you can make it! Getting tickets in advance is highly recommended because with this many great performances the fest will most likely sell out. You can get tickets at this link, check out the fest’s facebook page here, and I set up a facebook event for my set if you’d like to RSVP to that to keep all of your info in one place.

Hope you can make it!

B.O.R.E.D. Tour 2013! 06.23.2013 Burbank, CA

The BORED Tour shows are always great. In the past through them I’ve met and/or performed with Dr. Demento, Barnes & Barnes (Fish Heads!), Henry Phillips and so many more I can’t even mention them all. This SUNDAY, SUNDAY, SUNDAY is BORED 2013 and it will be another killer lineup.

Heard of Mystery Science Theater 3000 and Freaks and Geeks? Well J. Elvis Weinstein was a founding cast member of the former and a writer/producer for the latter. Evan Wecksell, Throwing Toasters, Raymond & Scum, Hot Waffles, Phoebe Carter and I will round out the bill hosted by former Beat the Geeks host J. Keith Van Straaten.

If you’re not in the L.A. or Burbank area but have friends who are, pass the show info along to them and they’ll love you forever for telling them about a show they’ll be telling their grandchildren about.

Get advance tickets here and come to see a great show!

 

Keep Your Jazz Hand Strong release imminent!

The discs have officially been delivered to the RobPRocks warehouse facility (the basement of our undisclosed Midwestern complex) and they are being readied for shipment to our distribution partners. That means on (or before depending on iTunes) June 4, 2013, you’ll be able to get your jazz hands on Keep Your Jazz Hand Strong!

We’re also putting the finishing touches on the video for the first single, which should be posted early next week!

For all of my wonderful kickstarter supporters, the download codes for the digital versions of the rewards will be emailed early this week and the physical merch (the CDs, DVDs and more) will be shipped this week and early next.

As soon as the links are live we’ll post them here and on the new official site for the album, KeepYourJazzHandStrong.com.

Is this going to be the best summer ever? I simply don’t see how it won’t be!

May I Present: The Cover!!

Keep Your Jazz Hand Strong Cover Art

I can hardly express in words how excited I am about the cover for the new album BECAUSE IT ROCKS SO COMPLETELY!!

I was lucky enough to be able to secure the services of Stephen Gardner, a friend and an amazing artist and illustrator. Stephen recently launched a new website showcasing his work, and if you’re a comedy fan you may have seen his cover for Christian Finnegan‘s Au Contraire DVD.

I told Stephen I wanted to go for a 1970s movie poster kind of feel, in keeping with the streetwise theme of the title (and title track), and I think he did an amazing job making it a reality. When I first saw the finished product I was so thrilled it inspired me to work even harder on making this new album the best I can. If people judge a record by its cover I’m in luck!

I hope you like it as much as I do and I’m excited for you all to hear the music soon.

Thanks for your support and interest in the project, and remember, keep your jazz hand strong!
