Tesco Tech!

Last night my band Private Lives played an illegal show in a tesco in Dalston. Check it.



One of these days, I promise we will play a show that lasts more than 30 seconds. But in the meantime, isn't this kind of awesome?

DLR Disco

My Band Private Lives every so often will do illegal shows in public places. We are doing one this coming saturday, although I won't say when or where. Just trust me when I say it will be mind-blowingly awesome. Here is some footage from the show we played on the DLR just over a month ago, shot by my friend Uli.

I didn't even go to this show...

Souls of Mischief are coming to London and I am going to see them with my wicked new friend Mel! I heart life.

OMG Party Pix!!

A Party I went to in November. I have one word for you...

PRUNE.

Atmosphere in the Spectrum

This Thursday is the Private View for a group exhibition I am privileged to be a part of. ATMOSPHERE IN THE SPECTRUM goes up February 11 and runs until February 13 at The Crypt Gallery in Euston. Click here for the Facebook invite. Come, I think it will be a really great show!

Serena Jean

Let me take this opportunity to talk about my talented and beautiful sister Serena. She is a musician and she lives in New York and she is extremely cool. Her band is called Serena Jean and the Whiskey Trippers and you can check out the music here. She also has a youtube channel. Isn't the internet wicked?

Very shortly, Serena will be releasing her debut album called Town and Country. I have a feeling it is going to be amazing. And I am usually right about these things.

On a more personal notes, a few days ago it was her two year anniversary of sobriety, and I couldn't be prouder. What a wonderful woman my sister is. I love her, and so will you.

Lame?

TWITTER. I CAVED.

Anyways, you should all follow me. Thanks.

Heart Exploding

I am absolutely and completely over the moon in love with my nephews. I present to you Hagan Alexander Oddy Shandel and (the newest edition) Cormac Sebastian Oddy Shandel. My heart is bursting.

Don't Call Me a Hippie

On December 19, 2009, I saw my beloved Burt Neilson Band perform at the Opera House in Toronto. It was a great show, and I wish I had more photos to document the ensuing madness. These guys only play about once a year together, so I was super insanely lucky to get to see them on my trip back home. Mike, Jeff, Jer and Gav are some of the best guys I know, and they are all wicked musicians with very busy careers. And they are all super effing funny. Love youse guys!
