I'm just days short of making it a year since my last post. Let's consider today's post a re-introduction of myself to the world, which is round. More to come soon. As for this post, why I haven't posted this video sooner, I'm simply not sure. But this is a video I made last summer…
A New Slazenger 7 Video
Despite our inactivity, my band Slazenger 7 has a new video up and running on YouTube. This video is for our anthem titled "Chicago." Guitarist Todd put this together a few weeks ago, though we shot the footage in drummer Matt's basement well over a year ago. It's a pretty good piece of work, in…
My First Solo Musical Project (Behind the Music – Slazenger 7.5)
So I've let a few months lapse by since I've really written a post. I threw a little thing up about the passing of Bettie Page, of course, but that simply needed doing. So I've decided to post something new here. I'm a bit apprehensive about doing this, but I'm posting a few songs I…
Slazenger 7 — Live footage
At long last we have some YouTube footage up of my band's appearance at a place called Bill's Blues in beautiful Evanston, IL. The first song is one that I wrote called "Windy." Our drummer Matt wrote the second one called "Shotgun Sadie." The sound isn't the greatest, but it's not horrible. We could have…
Slazenger 7 – catch the midnight show
We're playing on Friday night. If you haven't seen us play yet, I hope you can make it.
Eight days until the big show.
If you live in the area, I hope you can make it!
Britney Spears & Anna Nicole Smith – The Modern American Tragedy
I'm not one who normally gets into celebrity gossip, but there are some things that are just impossible to ignore. We all knew that Britney Spears was just a little bit crazy for a long time. But we're all a little bit crazy, aren't we? So there's no harm in that. The problem is that…
Slazenger 7
At long last, the band formerly known as The Finalists have decided on a new name: Slazenger 7. Who can get the reference? No cheating. Leave a comment if you knew what it was right off the bat.
Cease and Desist (Or: we need a new band name)
Yesterday The Finalists got a message in our MySpace account from a lawyer for the band The Finalist (singular) saying that it might be in our best interest to change our band's name. Actually, here's the message: Hi Matt, Mike and Todd, I am the attorney for the Maverick/ Warner Bros. recording artist The Finalist,…
Shoot the Sherbet
So my late grandmother always used to say this when she was upset about something. Rather than swearing or yelling, she'd say, "Shoot the sherbet!" My cousin Jess and I would play cards against her as kids and if we'd beat her in King's Corners or something, she'd actually get upset and say, "Shoot the…
