SAVE FACUNDO

One of my bestest friends Facundo has been facing a serious uphill battle to remain in the country, a lot of you already know him/how awesome he is. I DON’T WANT FACUNDO TO GO. I’m setting up a Bandcamp site to re-host releases from a bunch of artists, with donations going directly to the legal battle. If you’re a musician and want to make a difference, you can! If you...

The CD is $6 which gets you the Bandcamp download for free as well, but there are...

Hey all, So apparently I don’t update this website nearly enough, as penance I have posted 3 Active Knowledge wallpapers to the new Art section. I’ll take fan art too, so feel free to e-mail me some of that if you feel so inclined. More importantly though is the fact that INFINITE will be released in physical disc form at CHIPTUNE X!

Hey, it's me!

I just put up an article on BOSTON8BIT.com about coverage we received in the Boston Phoenix (available here), and the Boston Metro. The Metro article (by Linda Laban) was the result of an interview I did with her a while back, and it even has a spaceman picture of me in it! Totally a first for this guy, and I’m pretty happy about it. Don’t worry, my ego cannot overtake me! ;-) Anyway,...

Watch

I played a fantastic show at the New Wave Cafe in New Bedford, MA as part of Transient Authority’s gig they have over there. The crowd was incredibly receptive, and the bands that I played with were all fantastic. Attention Avoid was a guitarist and a drummer that actually reminded me of a friend’s act from a few years back (Hale). Stalemate had me concerned that our musical tastes...
