Happy Birthday & CD Release, Ivan Lenin!
I wish I could keep up with Russian slang. It's so koolna, you have no idea. Neither do I, really. But my Russian is not only rusty, it dates to dorky Soviet-era textbooks. Sigh.
So I'll just say to my komrad Ivan Lenin: С днём рождения, дуд!

Urban Hee Haw.
I will be drumming for the Manson Family Singers and schmacting in the Urban Hee Haw at the Bowery Poetry Club, Monday, March 12 at 8 pm. The Urban Hee Haw is coproduced by the Mansons' Tom & Hilary. We got this (kinda weird) write-up in the Voice.
And here we are are playing Dodge City last weekend (photo by Sarah Fisch):

"Whiskey Dick, Don't Let It Go Down Like This..."
I love the day or so after band practice, when snippets of Manson Family Singers songs rattle around in my head.
This week's killer Dodge City lineup:
A nutty character from Ann Carr
Smarcasm by Jeff Mac
Hilarity & mutton chops from Pat O'Shea
A sexy story by Greg Walloch
And a special longer set of megahits from the Manson Family Singers, with me on the drumkit! Yeah!

Get In On The Ground Floor Of A Cult Following.
Meet the Manson Family Singers. That's Tom Nevin & Hilary Schwartz to your right, the songwriting genius founders of the comedy-country supergroup.
Soon the photo gallery will include me sweating it like John Bonham/Bill Ward/Vince Nudo, on the 'kit.
BTW can anyone explain "Fairies Wear Boots" to me?
We had a warm-up, false debut some time ago. The secret's out, the real debut is March 4 at Dodge City. Damn it, we are getting tight! Come see us perform this dense roster of hits:
Whiskey Dick
Red State Woman, Blue State Man
Country Jews
Saggy Boobs
I Hope My Baby Comes Out White
Jesus Is My Designated Driver
& many others that are just as funny, but don't have as funny titles (Prison Song, Camp Song, etc.)!
Plus, COWBELL!
