I’m alive!

Well, its been quite a few months, but I figured I’d throw up a quick update. I’ve been saying I’ll keep this thing updated for months, but never have. Well, here’s to trying! Over the next few days I’m going to redesign this a little bit and get it public. Let’s just hope my schedule allows…

Update, and some gigs. :)

Inspired, I am finally going to try to update this thing on a timely basis. Not sure why, no one checks it, but I guess I can start advertising it a bit better. I know I’ve said I’d update it before, but I should actually have a little time to tinker with plugins and stuff to get it working how I want.

First up, have a number of gigs, I’ll just list ‘em off with the bands, got a new band in there, details of my bands and such will follow at a later date.

Upcoming Gigs:
9/18/09 – Smoke Town Road at Seven Bar in Bellville, IL
9/19/09 – Smoke Town Road BOB at Best Buy in Fairview Heights, IL
9/26/09 – Suitcase Nukes at Willie’s 109 West in Carlinville, IL
10/09/09 – The In? at The Bank in Hermann, MO
10/15/09 – The In? at The Bank in Hermann, MO
10/24/09 – Smoke Town Road at Seven Bar in Belleville, IL
10/30/09 – The In? at Llwyelyn’s Soulard.

Test

So I just downloaded a wordpress blogging program to my phone… This is a test.

Holy S**t, an update!

I just downloaded some fancy pants blog editor so I’m giving it a test. I should really get to updating this site more… always say I will, but never get around to it. Hopefully it’ll happen soon.

Ooh… has a button for the tag break.

New stuff

Joel — Tue, 13 Jan 2009 16:06:10 +0000

I tell myself I’m going to update this regularly, and I get side tracked. Today… not much. Saturday, The In is playing at the Stagger Inn… yes, that’s ripe for pun.

Updates!

Been a while, but I just updated to Wordpress 2.7 and figured I should make a post. First off, this new dashboard is pretty effin sweet. Easier, more eye pleasing layout, easy to add posts, and it didn’t totally hose my front page. :tup:

Anyway, more updates after the break. So, let’s see here. I’ve been VERY busy with The In, which is good. Lots of gigs, got a string of gigs coming up with them starting next weekend. We’ve also been holed up in our studio recording the new material. Should have some stuff to make public very soon!

I also got (cue Bob Barker voice) a new car! Ok, so it’s not NEW, it’s used. A 02 Subaru Impreza WRX. Very clean, few scrapes and dents, good price, full warranty, and it runs strong. I’m enjoying it, still getting used to how it drives. Being a turbo car and all it has NO balls off boost, but it’s proving fun to drive.

I updated a few of the gallerys, such as the one of my two dogs, and have added a few more pics here and there. I have a handful of pics of gigs and trips to upload as well. Those will come soon.

That about sums it up… There’s more, of course, but that will all come later. I’ll also try to dive into more detail about the car and gigs, as well as post up some rough cuts of new tunes to check out. Untill then…

Update!

Wow, talk about busy… pretty soon this site is going to be publicly searchable, so I’ll probably not be talking to myself anymore. Either way a few updates:

Added a My Bands page with details on the bands I’m in. If any sound interesting, shoot me a message and I can provide you with sound clips and booking info.

Just got done with a pretty fun outdoor gig this past weekend. I would like to say the place holding the event screwed us on power. They only provided HALF what they promised, so my wireless receiver wouldn’t work (which I forgot can use 9v batteries), and my effects pedal eventually started shutting off. Other than that, it was a blast.

I’ve also been huddled in the In classroom working on new tunes, check out the band’s link to the right to hear one of our jams.

Playing The Roadhouse this Saturday

Joel — Thu, 04 Sep 2008 17:28:00 +0000

Landed an impromptu gig with the “Crosstown Traffic Band” this Saturday. Met the keys player at another gig, and he mentioned they needed a bassist. Anyway, here’s the flier:
