2011

Well, looks like I'm on track for one post per year on the ol website. I'll try to ramp up the frequency.

We are playing on December 17, 2011 at the White Eagle. Please come out if you are able. Hope to see you there

Holy Crap.

I can't believe it's been more than a year since my last post... Wow. I need to work on my communication skills.

2010 has been a very busy year for me, but very quiet for Lotus Isle. Last year around this time I was asked to go out on tour playing bass for She & Him. I got to tour Europe, Canada, and the US. As you can imagine, it was a BLAST. But now all that is over, so it's time to dive back in to writing some more Lotus Isle songs. I hope to report back soon with some things to listen to. There may even be a few gigs on the horizon. Until then, may your drives be long and straight, and your impedance always match.

Haven't posted in a while, as Lotus Isle hasn't been doing much lately. We did play a few shows last month. One was at the Bite of Oregon, the other was at Pioneer Square, opening for The Motels. Which reminds me, I now play bass for The Motels! We had some great summer trips to the East Coast, California and Las Vegas. Got to play a show with Berlin, Flock of Seaguls, and Gene Loves Jezebel. Also got to do a Vegas gig opening for Dennis De Young, who used to be in Styx. Tripppppy.

I'm starting to work on the next Lotus Isle recording, which will hopefully be a full length release this time around. I've been upgrading my home studio, and hope to record and mix the entire thing myself. I may bring in Jeff Saltzman (who mixed the "bandmates EP") to rescue me if I find myself too far down the sonic Rabbit Hole.

I'm also about 1/3 of the way done tracking the new Michael Jodell album. Mikey is a member of Lotus Isle, and an incredible singer/songwriter in her own right. You should check her out here: www.myspace.com/michaeljodell if you haven't already.

Well, that's about all the news I have. Not sure if anyone even reads this thing. But at least it doubles as a band diary!
