colorfield Rocks the Irvington Club

My band colorfield took kind of a long break between last October and this month. Heck, I had been in the band for five years and they were together prior to my joining for at least that long, so I wasn't too worried when we let things slide for many months after our last big show at the Wonder Ballroom last October. It felt like we all needed a break, and I am a firm believer in filling the well by having down time.

But now we are at it again, and it feels very fresh. We have had a couple of low key gigs and have now started to record some new stuff in drummer Dave's home studio, which he set up during the down time.

Me, I played gigs with Matt Vrba and did some solo shows. Wrote a couple of cool songs and got a new Taylor guitar. But now it's nice to have the colorfield stuff to look forward to again.

We played last Thursday at guitar player Pat's tennis club for part of its 110th year celebration. Pretty funny to set up gear on a tennis court and rock the neighbors.

But as with gigs that are a little different from the norm, this one was a hell of a lot of fun and based on the video, we played pretty well. Here are a couple of choice cuts. There are some pretty classic moments on the video as people walk by the camera - especially the dude with the limp. What can I say? A gig's a gig! Enjoy.

Shameless Self Promotion

Two weeks ago my band, colorfield, played at Portland's Wonder Ballroom in a benefit called Rock for Rett. More info on that here.

But here are some videos I posted from the show. I am the guitar player on the left (not the one with the hearty blonde hair, sadly!).
