Check out the recap from the March show:
March 2010 – Saint Patty’s Day
Despite massive technical difficulties before the show, this was a raucous, crazy show which got people screaming from right at the start and didn’t let up until it was over.
The show started with a round of pants-off musical chairs by the very reluctant judges who nearly got boo’d off stage.
The dirty haiku battle was a HUGE upset, with reining champ Tatyana finally being deposed by Rachel Warner!
The slam had a strong showing, but real-life military sniper Steve Zook brought the house down and took home the money.
Stand up comedy by a 15-year-old and some crazy contests ensued, ending with one man taking a shot of new mother Hezzie’s breast milk.
Syzygy rocked the mic with Asher and a guitarist.
The New Eccentrics presented the magical story of Splenda the (goth) Unicorn.
Rocky Roulette pogo’d his clothes off for all the ladies in the house.
Battle heavyweight Madness stole the spotlight for his feature set, pounding out his lyrics and getting the crowd pumped.
Tantrum and Madness had a freestyle insult round, tearing down 5 unlucky suckers from the audience.
First-timer L-Mo beat out Sosh at the last minute in the battle. It was a great round, and Sosh is shaping up to be a serious competitor, making it to the finals his first two times at Tourettes.
The shows just keep getting better, so come check it out in April!

Back in the USA!
Hey hey hey! I'm back in the USA. I've actually been back for a couple weeks or so. I've just been really lax about updating my website. I was on the BART the other day and someone said, "How's your back?" (referring to my most recent blog post about hurting my back in Australia.) I said, "Uh..It's much better now thanks." I was a little caught off guard, but this gentleman said he had looked up my website on his smart phone. OH! OK. I get it.
Quick Australia recap: I played Eclipse 2012 Festival in Far North Queensland, Peats Ridge Festival in Glenworth Valley near Sydney, & Rainbow Serpent Festival in Lexton outside Melbourne, a bunch of shows in Newcastle, Sydney, & Melbourne and busked in Byron Bay. I played at the famous Queen Victoria Market in Melbourne and had my most successful busking session ever there.
I played a few shows the last couple weeks. We had the first Cello Madness Congress of 2013 at Viracocha on Feb 3 2013. It was a good show and featured Sam Bass, Max McCloud, Abe Finkelstein, and Jesse Alm. I also played with Gina Rene & The Temple Show at ClouD 9 on Feb 9 2013. That one went pretty well too.
I have a bunch of shows coming up to finish off February 2013 and a few coming up in March I would like to tell you about.

Another great line up. There's a reason why Les, the door guy at the Boom Boom Room, says at every show, "WHERE do you find these bands?!" and that reason is they are fantastic. |

Oaktown Indie Mayhem presents…http://www.facebook.com/oaktownindiemayhem
Feather Bright=========Every now and then a musician is born that demands a genre all their own, and Feather-Bright just so happens to be one of them. Self proclaimed as Moon Rock, these songs don’t just spark the imagination, they manifest a reality of other worlds near and far. So do yourself a favor and get a front row seat to be engulfed in a sea of lyrical magic.http://www.facebook.com/Feb 23 2013 | 9 pm doors | Durian Sex Cult at 10 pmFeatherBright
Heather Normandale=============Repping her most recent album, Trembling Water, Heather Normandale & her trio aim to awaken people to a time where water wasn’t just bottled for money, but collected as a precious life source. No bland lecture here though, as all the knowledge is dropped through finger pickin’ tunes & topped off with unrivaled poetic melody & lyricism. http://www.facebook.com/HeatherNormandale
Paige====A long time Bay Area musician, Paige commands her guitar and sings with the same passion as any of the great Femmes of our generation. Playing on both the joys and sorrows of life, she has the emotional honesty of a broken hearted lass and the polished sincerity of one that has known their calling all along. Not a set to be missed. http://www.myspace.com/whatshewrote

Imagine yourself walking into a party, but not any party. This one is different. As you walk in the door, you notice how good, how open, how sexy everyone looks and feels. As you step deeper, the atmosphere gets warmer. The decor and lighting are rich and vibrant. Here a woman is feeding a grape to another woman. Here a group of old and new friends are smiling and hugging each other. The music is pumping with a deep sub bass that causes your whole body to follow. And then you find the dance floor, and a whole world of amazing people appear, calling you to join them...
This is your world, the world of Club Exotica.
