Secret Show For Japan’s Success
August 20, 2011Thanks to your efforts, the fundraising for Japan has been an overwhelming success. Using the tools at http://secretshowforjapan.com/, you guys have raised a ton of funds for the people of Japan (funds are still being raised, a total dollar amount is forthcoming).
Our show will be at The Mayan in Los Angeles, with B’z, August 31st. It’s been years since we’ve played a venue of this intimate size in LA, and we’re excited to see you there.
Proceeds go to Save The Children, for child protection, psychosocial support, and recovery.

Short Update: Secret Show, Smodcast, and OP-1
August 8, 2011Busy busy. Other than my occasional post from Instagram, things have been pretty busy and pretty random over here.
I recently did a podcast with my friend Jensen, who has a show on Kevin Smith’s “Smodcast” network. It’s here. If you want to know what’s up with Spotify, America, Kreayshawn, humble brags, and sax solos, then you have to check it out.
In other news, we’re challenging everyone to go to secretshowforjapan.com and donate to MFR / Save The Children to help kids affected by the situation in Japan. The contest isn’t secret, but the location of the show is–and I think it’s the smallest venue we’ve played in half a decade, maybe more. Anyone able to raise $500 will receive 2 tickets to the show. There are special prizes for the top fundraisers, as well. Just go to the website and start a fundraising page.
Other than that, I’m still writing. I got a new keyboard, the OP-1 by Teenage Engineering. Check it out:

LPU Announcement
April 27, 2011
We’ve been promising some new LPU news for a while. With all the Transformers news, MFR events, video shooting, and studio sessions going on, it’s been tough to make it happen.
It looks like that announcement is finally on its way. Look for an email by the end of next week. Don’t get your hopes up, though. It’s probably nothing very special or interesting.
In other news, if you haven’t seen the photos of Phoenix’s trip to Haiti, check them out HERE. Talk to you soon.

Download To Donate For Haiti: One Year Later & How To Help
January 14, 2011
One year ago, an earthquake struck Haiti. 316,000 people were killed. More than 300,000 injured. More than 1 million people displaced. Music For Relief was one of the first organizations to spring to action, creating Download To Donate, a program which raised over a quarter million dollars for the people of Haiti.
It’s been a year since the earthquake but the crisis continues today in Haiti with more than one million people living in temporary shelter and makeshift camps. Since the earthquake Haitians have endured a Hurricane, flooding, and a cholera outbreak which began in October.
Music for Relief has re-launched Download to Donate for Haiti with Causecast in an effort to support another year of recovery efforts and hopefully keep public attention on this critical situation.
To participate, make a $10 donation with your mobile phone (text RELIEF to 41010) or with a credit card at downloadtodonate.org and receive a one year music subscription service featuring music from outstanding artists.
Songs are currently available on DownloadToDonate.org from ALANIS MORISSETTE, THE ALL-AMERICAN REJECTS, CARIBOU, THE CRYSTAL METHOD, EVEREST, THE GLITCH MOB, KENNA, KIMBERLY CALDWELL, LANGHORNE SLIM, LINKIN PARK, LUPE FIASCO, METRIC, ONE ESKIMO, SLASH, SWITCHFOOT, THRICE, TREVOR HALL and YEASAYER.
Your donation gives you year-long access to our growing catalog of music from a variety of artists. Donations benefit Music For Relief which supports nonprofit organizations working in Haiti.
100% of proceeds will go directly to support Haiti reconstruction efforts. 0% goes to administration.

Happy Holidays. I painted the piece above, entitled “Follow The Leader”, for Ron English’s “Family Tradition” art show early this year. I decided that it would look better in one of your homes than in mine, so I’m auctioning it off. Go to the link below to bid on it.
Proceeds go to Music For Relief. The auction is live until December 21, that way it will (hopefully) be able to arrive on your doorstep around the holidays.
