Saturday night's gig at Mojo 13 was great. Many of my friends showed up to root me on and hoot and holler for the band, so I felt very gratified and humbled. Here is our second song of the evening, Social Disease, since I kind of messed up Mercury Rising, the first song (not that anybody noticed). The audio is better than the video, but it's still nice to see all of the members of the band, even if they are all fuzzy and haloed with glowing bodies. I found myself drinking many beers, which gave the entire evening a surreal feel. I'm thankful to have so many nice friends and family members who showed up to listen to us so late at night. The other bands, such as Lousy Break, Circuit Theory and The Odd Squad were also very nice to us, and the woman who ran the Pit Bull Adoption group that was selling t-shirts said she sold more than she could have imagined, which is very cool for her and her charity. Delaware rocks!

Here's the latest lineup for Saturday's show! (Only one mutant bully pup this time.) Come on out and support great bands and a great cause!

After an exciting evening at Mr. Beery's on Long Island up in New York, and a long drive home until 5:30 am, I'm hoping my voice will recover enough from the festivities to rock Mojo 13 next week for this Saturday night show. Now that it's 12 hours later and I have a couple of hours of sleep in me, I'm feeling good about our New York premier. It usually takes at least 48 hours to get my voice back to normal, so I should be fine. The crowd and other bands in Beth Page, NY, are some of the nicest people I've ever met. Talk about supportive! And the deal on beer for band members can't be beat: free Bud or $1 beers on tap. Considering their tap selection is so vast and tasty, this was one of the nicest things anybody has ever done for me. As a band that sings mostly about beer and drinking it, we were all quite happy. The drive was well worth it! Thank you Mr. Beery's!!! The band formerly known as The Devilles were awesome. The musicians in Quarterlife Crisis, Southpaw, and SuperBuick were equally great. It was refreshing to see bands stay around to support each other before and after playing, the way it should be. I hope the trend continues next Saturday night at the show on the poster. Come on by!

Here is another Seizureman hit: Betrayed! That's my friend Wil at the beginning, reacting to the sound of our friend Dave tumbling into a house to retrieve a lost disc golf disc. Long live Seizureman. The song is a Lauer original!

The videos from my old band Seizureman just popped up in my life. Here is another one we made several years back!

After a short-lived cover band project I did with Darren and Mike called Humboldt, we recorded a bunch of songs in Mike's living room as Seizureman. After a while, Mike made some videos to go along with some of the songs. I just found a disc he burned of some of them, so here is one of them. The video features some photos of my paintings and some photos of friends, etc., plus Mike's psychedelic input! There is more to the song, but I think you get the point.

The fellow who made this film trailer, Jeff Scher, has a new video on the New York Times Web site called All the Wrong Reasons: http://video.on.nytimes.com/?fr_story=13b4d8a18911bca85c21f003d4e40a6c67526881

I love animation and subliminal imagery, so this little video gives me all sorts of goose bumps.

Here is something else he has done with his talents:


This stuff just hypnotizes me.

I've finally finished my revisions to the Hatchetface logo I started months ago. I'm told this is the one they'll make into T-shirts, rather than the doodly one I did way back. I'm looking forward to wearing mine with pride. I like the Zig-Zag border (with my usual tweaks). They are touring the New York/New Jersey/Pa. region for several days starting at the end of next week. Those groovy women are gong to kick some Mid-Atlantic region ass! Go see them! (To find their schedule, type HATCHETFACE into the music search on myspace.)
