New album! Tour! Exclamation point!
Greetings.
Remember me? Skinny white dude in a black suit? Writes questionable rap songs about clones, cats and Christ? Wild-eyed, rather twitchy and points a lot? I’d certainly understand if you don’t remember me. After all, it has been quite a while since I’ve been around. I can assure you that in my absence I have been very busy, and now, my dear estranged friends, I’m about to deliver the fruits of those labors to you.
For starters, I am very pleased to announce the release of my newest full-length album, “Mark of the Beast!” This sixteen track musical nightmare contains remixed/rebuilt versions of some classic STD tunes, a few tour-tested but previously unreleased numbers and a handful of brand-new never-before-heard songs. “Mark of the Beast” will be available through iTunes soon enough, but it is available through CD Baby now.*

*(Please note that as of this writing, the CD Baby page linked above is not quite ready. Give it a couple of days and check back. I just wanted to get the link to you before I left town)
Secondly, in support of the release of my sophomore effort, I am about to embark on a coast-to-coast tour. This is no ordinary rap trip, though. No…this is special. You see, this time around I will be touring as the support act for the “godfather of nerdcore hip hop” and the subject of the feature documentary Nerdcore Rising, the one and only M.C. Frontalot! As one might imagine, I am tickled magenta for this killer opportunity. Dates are as follows:
Thurs. Nov. 8th - Living Room in Providence, RI (all ages)
Fri.Nov. 9th - Harper’s Ferry in Allston, MA
Sat. Nov. 11th - Knitting Factory in NYC
Tues. Nov. 13th - The Basement in Columbus, OH (all ages)
Wed.Nov. 14th - Reggie’s Live in Chicago, IL (My birthday!)
Thurs. Nov. 15th - Triple Rock Social Club in Minneapolis, MN (early, all ages show @ 6pm)
Fri. Nov. 16th - Duffy’s Tavern in Lincoln, NE
Sun. Nov. 18th - Marquis Theater in Denver, CO
Tues. Nov. 20th - Burt’s Tiki Lounge in Salt Lake City, UT
Wed. Nov. 21st - Knitting Factory in Los Angeles, CA
Fri. Nov. 23rd - Hawthorne Theatre in Portland, OR (all ages)
Sun. Nov. 25th - Café Du Nord in San Francisco, CA (all ages)
Please come to the shows if you’re in or near any of these destinations. If you can’t make it out, but you have allies in any of these cities, please send THEM out to the show. I need bodies. Without an audience, I’m just some lunatic ranting to himself.
In case you missed it (and require further psyching), check out the music video for the new album’s first single, “The Rappist!"
Lastly, for my NYC friends, I have one more treat for thee. After the Boston show, our crew will return to Gotham a day ahead of our show at Knitting Factory. On that Saturday night, I will perform at Bowery Ballroom. However, there will be no rapping, kids. Oh no, at this very special show, I will be behind the drums, playing with my Ramones tribute band, Pet Sematary! Since we’re sharing the stage with tributes to Guns n’ Roses and the Bee Gees, this is sure to be a very VERY fun time.
Saturday November 10th:
Mr. Brownstone (GN'R tribute)
Tragedy (metal tribute to the Bee Gees)
Pet Sematary
The Throwaway Girls
@ Bowery Ballroom
6 Delancey St.
NYC
Doors @ 7:30pm
$16 adv./$18 d.o.s.
I’m coming for you, Barbara. I’m coming for the rest of you too.
