Against conventional wisdom and our own better judgment, we’re heading out on a tour in the DEAD OF WINTER! I’m not sure whether we’re nuts or maybe just stupid. But we’re doing it! We’re positioned in Santa Fe at the moment, preparing to delve car-first into the snow tomorrow en route to Denver. It will [...]

Last week I remixed an Oakland hardcore punk record from 1995 by the Gimps! Super fun project. Those guys were only 17 when they made this record. I’ll have a song or two up on my mixes page when I get a minute. Other than that, Shannon and I have been working full strength on [...]

I just finished the absolute most fun little tour EVER, with a new band called Glasser. The music is great, and the people COULD NOT BE NICER. It was short, sweet, and highly entertaining. Did I mention how excellent the band are as people? Wow. I kind of lost a bit of faith in people [...]

I’m doing a quick getting-to-know-you gig with a new EMI artist named Sky Ferreira. I spent the last few days in New York, in rehearsals, helping whip the live production and sound into shape. We did a couple rehearsal-room showcases for EMI staff and fans, and then this morning we flew into Cologne, Germany (of [...]

Blue Microphones put a little mini-interview with me on their website! Super cool: http://blueblog.bluemic.com/2010/09/guest-blog-how-i-use-my-blue-microphone-%E2%80%93-dragonfly/

I’m out again with VV Brown, this time supporting Maroon 5 in the US. Can I just say — I didn’t know much of anything about M5 before this tour, but, WOW, are they a fantastic live band! This is only made better by the undeniable fact that they’re genuinely super guys. Friendly, good-natured, and [...]

We finished up the VV tour with nine days of stadiums in the UK. The smallest crowd I mixed for was about 30,000, and the largest was over 55,000 (at Hampden Park in Glasgow. Holy CRAP is that space big!). Here’s what the view from my mixing desk typically looked like: And now … I’m [...]

So, our next tour is going to be in France … for a *month*! I didn’t even know you could tour France for a month. That’s like touring California for a month. Where do you go after the first five shows? But, apparently, there are all sorts of places to play. And we’ll have a [...]

Hi! So far we’ve been doing little things all over the place with VV … promo, one-offs, fly dates, that sort of thing. We’re doing a brief east-coast run next week, capped off with a visit to Rachael Ray, then we’re back to LA to do Jimmy Kimmel. We head to Paris at the beginning [...]

Hi! I’ve just signed on to do some work with VV Brown, from the UK. The first month or so is a lot of promo — I’ll post tour dates as they are confirmed!
