"Isabelle" at KNY5

This song got me runner-up at KNY5. I was pretty shocked... both because of the sheer amount of talent at the competition, and because I was the first one to go onstage...figured I didn't have a shot. But it's pretty neat! :)

KNY5 Tomorrow Night

Ninjasonik is guesting too!

More Band Performances from Best Buy!

I've been swimming in footage and photos from this gig, so you shall reap the benefits. :)

Here is me and Jon's cover of "You and I" by Ingrid Michaelson (Zach is playing some djembe and tambourine in the back. Sadly, his drums weren't mic'ed!)



Here is our cover of Feist's "1,2,3,4".



And here is David's version of "Meaningless Conversation", with similar audio to the one below, but a tighter image.



Now, as for Saturday's amazing Music Video release night, I will get you more footage from them soon... let these marinate for a little bit. :)

ALFA

PS: On a sidenote, I just saw Toy Story 3!! OMIGOD I felt like a loser crying at the end, but I feel like I could totally relate! Anyone who knows me knows how attached I am to my little stuffed pig. :( Anyone else get a little mist in their eyes at the end of that movie?

Best Buy Recap

Today was the band gig at Best Buy in Union Square. What an awesome day! The weather cooperated, first of all. It was the perfect New York City summer: warm and light, but slightly breezy, everyone's in a good mood, there's the excitement in the air. Matt Sia opened before Ryan Bandong went on. I'd been pretty anxious about this weekend, mainly because of tomorrow's big Music Video Release, but after today's set, I am really looking forward to it.

I just want to get it out to the world already, ya know? :)


(Here's us playing "Meaningless Conversation," one of my older tunes, but the first time it's been done with a band...ever!)


(Here's "Second Skin")

I saw a lot of friends, some new fans from the Rutgers show 2 weeks ago, some faces I hadn't seen in a while. One of the guys at Best Buy told me it was the biggest crowd they'd had out for a Live at Best Buy show ever. And they've asked me to play at Best Buy in Lincoln Center on June 30! So, that should be rad.

Anyway, I should sleep. I've just been watching movies and perusing World Cup stories on the web all night. =)
