March was a blast!  It was a month that saw a lot of the work from the first two months of the year come together.

Mel and I finished her album for RPM and have decided to use some of the tracks as demos for a new project we’re putting together under our old moniker “Boy Girl Party.”  You can get a sampling on her bandcamp.  We’ll also be taking the music live in May:  On the 6th we’re at Bar Matchless; May 20th we open at Cake Shop, and May 30th we’re back at Matchless to close out the month.  There’s already a few really great NYC artists in the band and I’m looking forward to getting a large pop sound for the shows.

Leigh Jones (one of said artists) is releasing her EP.  You can hear the music at her myspace right now.  I play bass on Time Zone.

Spidermusical was a pretty stunning success - we’re working towards bringing it back in the next few months.  Also working on the next Fat Camp launch this summer.  Looking forward to announcing more for both of these guys soon.

Tonight (April 1st) I’m playing a benefit for The Assembly theater company, raising money for their Weather Underground project this summer.  The theme of the night is Heiner Muller’s Heart Play.  A number of groups will be performing their own version of the very short, very open text.  I was asked to write a song for the event, and came up with a weird little bastard-Graceland ditty.  Up soon.

March was busy for Teen Girl Scientist Monthly, with shows at the Flea and 10 Forward Brooklyn, where we debuted a number of new songs.  Our next show is at the Bitter End on 4/29 - there’ll be more new music and merch.  We’re also recording a music video for Fever this month - you can hear that track, and the rest, on our new bandcamp page.  We’ve also got a new facebook fan page.
