PAUL DUNCAN @ the EARL 2007


This is a recording of Paul Duncan from a brief tour of the Southeast in 2007. This was at the Earl in east ATL... I have fond memories of this tour. Some of the funniest shit happened...

BAPTIST GENERALS - LIVE in Buffalo, NY 2005



This is from Baptist Generals/Centro-matic US tour in 2005. A bit different than what they have become in the past few years- this is the "plugged-in" version of the band. After hearing it again, I cant decide if I think it's "too rocked out" or what? yeah, perhaps at times! There is some "charm" to it though... But I did notice is that Chris Flemmons stands out, and is and always has been the focus and the reason why this music is great. I was lucky to play in this band for a while and I have to admit it was a bit hectic at times but there were some great shows... This was from a weird night that we played with this turd of a songwriter named Jesse Malin who urged us to play our opening slot right on time which we did, then waited for nearly an hour and a half after we were done to play second, thus leaving Centro-matic with the 130AM slot and a few hangers on who were wasted enough to stay. And it was fucking cold that night- yeah, It's BUFFALO! Anyway, this is a recording made by the sound guy that night. It does sound a bit on the straight-to-the-board side of live recordings, but it's still a pretty good show.

DIAMOND AGE "EXTRAS"





These are various "unreleased" tracks I put together for a free download on life and living records site to go along with this other album I recorded called "Beguiling the Hours" which is a reinterpretation of a record by Gareth Williams and Mary Currie (which I may post here in the near future, since I think nobody really downloaded it from LALR anyway)



DITCH KIDS LIVE @ MABLE PEABODY'S DENTON a long time ago


The Ditch Kids were a great band. Stuck somewhere between Trans Am and Vince Guaraldi's Peanuts theme, they were around Denton, TX long ago and I don't think they ever recorded in a studio...I'm pretty sure this is one of the last shows they played and I think it captures the essence of what they had going on. Kyle went on to Become THE NIGHT GAME and still wanders the streets in various urban jungles at night, Adam moved to NYC and plays in the Hungry March Band and with Silver Arrows. I'm not sure what happened to Roberto...

Roberto Barsi - Keyboards and Guitar
