Outta Sight 1 Year Anniversary!
Monday, August 18th, 2008
Outta Sight
Wed Aug 20 - 9pm @ The Edinburgh Castle (950 Geary)
Campo Bravo
Beatbeat Whisper
Donald Meints (Reduced to Ruin)
B and Not B
Campo Bravo and Beatbeat Whisper have both been a part of our shows before, Campo with their country-influenced psych rock and Beatbeat, the harmonizing brother-sister duo playing unique folk the way it should be. Also in this show is the solo Donald Meints of the wonderful Reduced to Ruin, and B and Not B, keyboardist of the Young Moderns and practitioner of Immersion Composition Society techniques.
Take a peep at the little article the fine folks over at The Bay Bridged wrote about this upcoming show: This link will take you to the article on The Bay Bridged about Outta Sight
Not to mention that this may be the last Outta Sight show in this format for awhile. If you can make it, you should make it.
Oh, and of course, if you didn’t catch the wonderful mini-documentary about the night, check it out below:
Come enjoy the scent of black plastic, nail polish and liquor
Wednesday, July 30th, 2008I want everybody, to clap your hands, in this group. Put on your red dress, baby. And come out and enjoy some fine records as spun by myself and Raul Sanchez. Yes, that’s Outta Sight vs. Penny Arcade, for your listening pleasure! This Friday Aug 1, DJ TS hosts Errly @ The Beauty Bar (SF) featuring Raul Sanchez and Nathan Moomaw, 6pm-10pm.
Playing tunes representative of our respective nights, we’ll be grooving the Errly crowd with 60s rock, psychedelic, soul, folk, world, indie, pop and whatever else suits the fancy. The mellowest DJ battle ever? Maybe. I may even take it down so low that you’ll be wishing you were sipping purple stuff and taking like a 45 at 33!
Speaking of Outta Sight. We’re gearing up for our first year anniversary. It is confirmed and even true, we have thrown a show, every month for the past 12 months! So to celebrate… well, we be having another show:

Otherwise, in other portions of my brain, other than this and other than that, Miwa and I are currently booking a Sept/Oct US/Canada tour. It should be a really good one, but we can use your help. So if you know us and like us and live somewhere you’d like to see us, please drop me a line and help me with bookings!
CDs releasing, bumble-bees flirting, time and time today
Friday, May 30th, 2008
First of all, I would like to invite everyone I’ve ever met to the spectacular cd-release extravaganza that is happening this coming Wednesday, June 4. I’m am honored to be releasing it at Penny Arcade’s 3 Year Anniversary at the Makeout Room. I needn’t say much about Penny Arcade, hosted by Raul Sanchez, as it has become a staple for excellent music in the Bay Area. I’ve been lucky enough to somehow score a spot on every anniversary show(!) and I can only hope to continue in this tradition in the following years. This year I will be sharing the stage with local indie hero Bart Davenport and The Mumlers a wonderfully gypsy-styled group from San Jose. I actually shared last year’s bill with The Mumlers and The Dodos, and this year looks to be no less of a beautiful show:
Penny Arcade 3 Year Anniversary!
Wed June 4, 9pm @ The Makeout Room, San Francisco
The Mumlers
Bart Davenport
Moomaw
(Note: Alina Harding is no longer playing)
I go on first so be sure to GET THERE AT 9pm!
Aside from my own loops and toys, on stage with me at various intervals, playing various instruments will be Dusty DiMercurio and Raul Sanchez. And, to make things even more exciting, I will also be accompanied by an amazing tablas player named Dale Means for the entire show. It’s not to be missed!
Please come by and pick up a copy of my CD, “26″, directly from me. You can also find it on CD Baby or iTunes and it is now available to San Franciscans at Aquarius Records!
And while you wait with baited breath for that show, please check out the Bay Bridged. The Bay Bridged is a wonderful source of indie music in the Bay Area, providing amazing podcasts of local artists and really supporting our scene. I am happy to be featured in their May Monthly Mix episode alongside some other really great artists. You can listen to our songs on the podcast here:

Aside from that I’ve been warming up my collection of instruments and my beat-up condenser mics and started recording a new record. In a similar vein I also just finished a small long-distance collaboration on a wonderful song of my buddy Ryan Moya, or Autopilot. Please check out the song, entitled “To The Sea”, featured on his Myspace, here:
Outta Sight, Wednesday May 21
Tuesday, May 20th, 2008If you’re anywhere near the Bay Area tomorrow night please come by Outta Sight at The Edinburgh Castle for the usual, wonderful, musical libations and friendly fun. The beautifully earnest Joseph Childress will be opening the night and I know I’m excited to see him play. Next, The Clouds will be playing their first official show with a full lineup and that’s really something because they played Outta Sight as a duo a little while ago and absolutely killed it. Finally, The Aerosols will be closing the night with their inventive psychedelic rock triosity.

Thursday, August 16th, 2007There is an odd new structure that graces San Francisco’s panhandle park. It’s a quaint acoustic bandshell made of recycled materials, mostly car hoods. I will be playing there this Sunday afternoon, fully unplugged. Please grab a beverage and a brown bag and join me:
