ARCHIVE: 2008

Everything Will Be Fine

Posted on November 11th, 2008 by Ross

This thursday at 7pm the Hollywood Theater is hosting the premier of the locally produced web series Everything Will Be Fine, which will be shown on the big screen. A bunch of my friends are involved in the production, and (at least) one of my songs is being used in the soundtrack (or so I'm told) not to mention songs by The Shaky Hands, Anne Adams and a ton more. It will be a gala event - and it's free! It'll also probably be over by 8:30, leaving plenty of evening for the party to rage on elsewhere. Yay for local art, and especially for crossovers between worlds of visual art and music.

Also, my new record will be going to press sometime in the next month. Hard to believe, right?

Hellpets Live Recordings

Posted on September 8th, 2008 by Ross

I just posted two new live Hellpet recordings! The Show And Tell Gallery recording is pretty low quality, but the affair is buoyed by our considerable wit..not to mention the inspiring story of Rojo the therapy llama. The Twilight Cafe recording is excellent, and features the five-stringed version of many Hellpet favorites. Plus: gratuitous swearing!

Here we are soft-rocking for the First Thursday art and performance crowd at Melissa's place.

PDX Pop Now! 2008 is over!

Posted on August 9th, 2008 by Ross

We've actually played a couple of shows since the last time I updated this site! I've been busy with PDX Pop Now, and also with completing my new solo disc. It has a Portland theme, so stay tuned.

Live Solo Video!

Just posted to the video page, a clip of me playing at my house party in January.

In other news, the new album is currently being mixed by Mike Merriam, and I'm starting to think about the new, new album.

Just posted to the video page, an old clip of me at Costello's Travel Cafe in Portland.

Should old acquaintance be forgot? Hell, no!

Happy New Year, everybody! I'm feeling cautiously optimistic.

I just posted a couple new mp3s. My song "Stickum Tree" has been covered by Portland band Bull Dozers, and it's quite good. Hear their version here. Hear my original version here.

I posted a couple of "shows", and also the potential of shows. Meanwhile, my current recording project is slowly plodding along. Ah, scheduling.
