Lately I have been writing for a couple of boutique public relations firms and brand management companies, which has been a daunting, stressful, task. It’s a cut-throat world out there and staffers don’t always take too kindly to freelancers and contact writers in this industry because essentially it’s taking work away from them. Maybe if… [Read more…]

A couple of weeks ago I got a chance to talk to Dave Longstreth of the Dirty Projectors. Here is an interview that I did for the Phoenix New Times blog. There should also be a little feature in this week’s issue out on Thursday. Strongly recommended: Catching them at the Rhythm Room on Wednesday, October… [Read more…]

Zeitoun is Dave Eggers’ latest non-fiction effort chronicling the lives of a Syrian-American family’s experience before, during, and after Hurricane Katrina.

So last week I had to cover the Dears at the Rythym Room. It was a rainy and humid Phoenix night and I was half-awake on our way there. Another Dangerbird band called Eulogies (from L.A, methinks) was supposed to be on the bill as well, but didn’t end up playing. Anyway, Great Northern opened… [Read more…]

I am behind on this thing. I have been back from tour almost a week now…flew from Sacramento to Phoenix last Saturday because of some tour issues that caused us to cut the last three shows on our tour route. Everything is alright though! Some people just had some personal things to deal with that… [Read more…]
