BF Goodrich created a rather insane campaign involving a new website, blog, and car footage from all over the country. If you scan through the videos on their YouTube page you may hear familiar tunes if you ever listened to Engine Down or Denali. Here is one of the videos that uses a little diddy I wrote, and features the wonderful Jonathan Fuller on drums.

Macbeth is one of those companies that understands the connection between fashion and music. Rather than designing “rockstar” endorsed clothing simply for profit, they design shoes and clothing that they would want to wear themselves as musicians, artists, and skaters/surfers/bikers. Through the years Macbeth has been very supportive of bands that I have been apart of. I specifically remember wearing a single Macbeth shirt for an entire month after our (Engine Down) van, along with my suitcase full of clothes, was stolen at the beginnning of a tour. So they hold a place dear to my heart.While talking with a Macbeth representative backstage during a Sparta tour, we got past talking about music and started gearing towards future plans. I mentioned I was going to focus on design and less on touring and blaam, the spark ignited. Over a few months we talked about their ideas for a Spring 2009 clothing line. The idea style was based on an apocalyptic age. I was inspired and churned out ideas. Below are the designs that spawned from those ideas. For more on Macbeth and to buy the amazing clothing line go to Macbeth.com. Did I mention they have a vegan shoe?!
Last week we had a private viewing of the just released DVD “From Beginning to Last”. It chronicles the life span and farewell tour of the band Engine Down. The turn out was amazing and the reactions ranged from laughing to crying. It’s an intense story and it seemed to affect those watching as much as it affected the band. I highly reccommend you see it whether you are a music fan or not. Thanks so much to all those involved.
I was cleaning out the massive archive of unused material from my hard drive when I came across this song “The Last Before the Last”. I forgot how much I like this song. It is super delicate and didn’t seem to fit the official glös release so it stayed hidden in the archives. It especially sends shivers down my spine at the end of the song when my sister Maura fills in the four part harmony. Ouch. I would really like to give this song a chance to see the light of day so here you go. CLICK HERE TO LISTEN!
