OHouse Gig!

Wednesday, October 7th, 2009

cclogo

The world famous (in some circles) Oyster House served as our national headquarters during the recording of “Quick Fix Bandage.” We would follow up a long day in the studio with a nightcap at this historic Studio City bar/restaurant. We met a lot of musicians and good folk here (some that eventually lent their talents to the record). We (myself and Kevin Houlihan) have threatened to play this joint for over a year now. This Saturday night it’s all going down. I’m playing a stripped down set around 10PM w/ Kevin on Bass and Brian Young on drums. The Meadows (Kevin Houlihan & Todd Herfindal) will follow. Come early for dinner and be sure to ask Christopher for a round of his special Margaritas!

Blinded by the Light

Saturday, August 8th, 2009

My solo gig at Cinema Bar last Saturday was a blast. It was, however, a little bright in there so I decided to play the whole show with my eyes closed. No one seemed to mind as they were equally blinded by my orange duvetyne suit. Thanks to all that came out to support, especially my sis and bro in law that drove up from San Diego.

Oyster Nights

Wednesday, July 22nd, 2009

Kevin just got back into town from a six month stint in Fiji.  What better way to celebrate than to visit our home away from home, “The Oyster House.”  The O-house became a very important part of our recording sessions b/c of it’s close proximity to the house on Sarah St. aka Studio City Studios.  We’d put in a 10 hour day and walk up to the joint for a night cap.  We actually dubbed the last take of each session “The Oyster Take.”

Something was in the air last night b/c things got downright giddy after awhile.  At one point, I joined Christopher behind the bar to make some Margarita’s.  Here’s a pic.  I know it’s a little blurry, but that’s how we were feeling…

Backstory

Monday, July 20th, 2009

I got together with my buddy Kevin Houlihan in late 2008 to record the songs now collectively known as “Quick Fix Bandage.” We recorded most of the record in an empty house in Studio City, CA.  A bunch of friends stopped by to play.  Here are a few pics from the sessions.  If you’ve never tried playing w/ “Fly Eyes” on, you don’t know what you’re missing.
