Just got back from Europe tour with the Shins. Sweden was our last stop, and i could have sworn that everyone in the audience was a model.

Home now and I'm excited to share that KEXP (Seattle's indie radio) featured "You Go Running"  off of our new record as their song of the day. They've been a huge supporter of Deep Sea Diver and we are very grateful. 

Download a free mp3 of "You Go Running" at Kexp's site here http://bit.ly/HaDCtW

Had such a blast at SNL last night. Thanks everyone for the shout outs and support! For those of you who were looking for my bands website/music, heres the link www.thedeepseadiver.bandcamp.com  &  
 www.thedeepseadiver.com    We just released our new record "History Speaks" in February and we will be opening for the Shins in June! 

Headed to Austin next week for sxsw. Anyone have any good restaurant recommendations? I always end up hitting up the same old spots. 

yo kiddos

Just wanted to let you know i'm finishing up the final vocals for the Deep Sea Diver record, and after that, its FINALLY FINISHED. Hell yes. two very blissful words for all who have been waiting, including my friends step dad Ronnie. Shooting for late Feb release, and we're also taking off on a 2 week w. coast tour mid-Jan. Keep your eyes peeled for a few Christmas songs we are going to release on the site in Dec as well. 

Recorded a new Shins jam last month at mercers studio. I'm obsessed with the Electro Harmonix poly synth pedal again. It sounds like a cathedral organ trying to make its way onto a New Order record.  Cant wait to hear the final mix. 

So the word is out, i'll be playing guitar and singing some sweet songs with the Shins this year. Its totally wild that I get to play along side Richard Swift and Yuuki again.  This band will not be short of some tasty three part harmonies.

This month has been nuts, getting together the final mixes for my record, and recording a few live+video sessions.  We just finished a week of shows around the N.West with the Fling, and are starting to plan out
the record release.  Get your turntables ready for a 12". Tight! 

finishing up the last few bits of vocals and piano tracks for the record tonight with my tall and talented friend/engineer Luke Vanderpol. will post a few pics tomorrow
