Winter excitement reigns!
Super Natural is getting ready to go in to the studio and make our first demo recording! We've also got several bay area shows coming up (see calendar) and then we'll be off on tour to southern california in March 2012 with the fabulous Olivia Mancini!! check back for details....
and what a summer it is all ready.....
my NEW RECORDINGS are out...A digital release--pay what you want digital download from San Francisco's Light Rail Records. A bunch of my pals play on it--My darling husband and drummer extraordinaire, Josh Bevelacqua--the fabulous Nicolas Dobbratz (now on tour with Of Montreal--yes, rock star in the house) on keyboards. Super snazzy funky bass by the illustrious Jerome Steegmans. the dulcet tones of ms. marina lazzara singing back ups (along with nicolas and josh). AND some really cool guitar work by my good friend mr. j lee. My good friend & lifelong collaborator, Elton Ridge, engineered, mixed & produced it at the brand new, state of the art, Light Rail Studios in SF. At some point, I hope to put this out on vinyl, so you can really appreaciate the lovely original artwork done by my amazingly talented friend, Andrea Savar. You can still download the lovely jpeg if you like, and enjoy it on your screen....
Listen to it, download it, buy it. That all happens here
Also, you can hear one of the songs on my MUSIC page on this website.
Meanwhile, I have some really exciting shows coming up with my new band, SUPER NATURAL, which is me on guitar and singing, Josh Bevelacqua (The Aerosols, Thingers, Chantigs, Fantasy) on drums and Danny Lovefinger (Kung Fu USA, Static Faction, The Burners) on bass. We were recently named SF's most adorable urban folk rock band. We'll be playing locally at the Starry Plough on July 24 with super-star MOOMAW (always an awesome show) and FORT KING who will both be in town from LA. That one is a Sunday Matinee show--starts at 3pm--we are on FIRST. Don't be late! They have food and beer and wine...and its all ages...
Then, we jump in the car and hit the road to the June Lake Loop Mountain Music Festival near Yosemite, where we are to play July 29. We are going to be playing on a bill with one of my favorite people, Bonnie Tamblyn, up on June Mountain. Show tickets come with a lift ticket! yeow...i'm kind of scared of heights and don't normally like "lifts"--but for this I will make an exception...I am also going to be mc-ing "Indie Night" there--Emily Wells from New York is headlining and its sure to be a great show.
So, maybe I'll see you around?
It's a busy year already. I've taken a winter break from my solo shows to rock.
I love playing my solo stuff but sometimes i need to sweat & bands are way more fun than a gym membership. Toward this end, I've got exciting rock shows coming up in Spring/Summer with my new band "SUPER NATURAL", a joint production of myself (guitar, vocals), Josh Bevelacqua (drums, vocals), Dan Miskulin (bass) and Marina Lazzara (vocals, tamborine). We've only had one show and we've already been crowned "SF's most adorable urban folk rock band". Please come to our next SF show April 2 at Light Rail Studios.
Meanwhile, I've been having a lovely time sitting in on bass with one of my favorite SF bands, "THE RABBLES". We've got Spring/Summer shows coming up too. I have dusted off and reunited with my Rickenbacker for this--it is bliss.
Also....I'm working on finishing up my latest solo recordings, which will be a 7" vinyl single. Featuring the musical accompaniments from many of my longtime friends/collaborators: Josh Bevelacqua (drums/vocals), Nicolas Dobbratz (keys, vocals), Jerome Steegmans (bass), Marina Lazzara (vocals), J. Lee (guitar). Produced by Elton and Light Rail Studios in SF. Wonderful artwork already done from the amazing Andrea Savar. Summer release planned....stay tuned.
And finally, I'll be kicking off touring for my solo record with a short stint in Spain during late May/early June. I'll be duetting with my husband the vastly talented Josh Bevelacqua and we'll be playing with my good friend and cohort from New York, Olivia Mancini.
