Hey, I'm trying to give this one more shot!! See how it all pans out!
Since I last wrote here...
I've retired from the touring life...yeah I've said it before and ended up on a bus for 2 years... BUT NOW... I'm now tattooing at a shop
right on the Pacific Ocean in Mission Beach, San Diego, CA. It has been a bumpy bumpy road, and I'm still (some how) optimistic this whole "thing" will all pan out and become easier. Summer time is approaching and hours are starting to open up at the shop next month so my finical situation will become better. Getting paid to draw is not only lucrative but I get to do something I love... everyday I walk into the shop.
I started managing 2 bands GloomsDay (formally Knives!) and Family Wagon. Both are very talented San Diego bands, I'm very happy to be working with them. GloomsDay just finished up recording their new EP and is going out for mixdown this week. We are looking to release it late May, with a release party May 21st down here in San Diego. As for Family Wagon, they are in the mixing stages of
their new forth coming ep... unfortunately we don't have a projected release date on that... but once it gets set I'll let you know. @jamesvtattoo
So when I'm not at the shop I'm at home working just as hard behind a computer... working on getting both bands out on the road this summer.... Along with working on some new events in San Diego... others will be listed soon, but here is the new calender:
Friday, May 21st - Sailor Jerry presents KNIVES! cd-release party w/ special guests: 4 Minutes To Midnight, and Reverend Mothers. Starts at 9pm - 21+over @therubyroomsd
Saturday, June 5th - ABATTOIR Art Night at the Wit's End (420 Robinson Ave. 92103)
Details coming soon.
STENCIL REVOLUTION Website LAUNCH PARTY - T.B.A. in June, @therubyroomsd
So... yeah, exciting, stressful, worrisome, but at least I'm surrounded by Palm Trees!!
I'm going to start bombing this blog with photos... I'll take a minimum of 1 photo everyday and post it up on here!
