Hi! So far we’ve been doing little things all over the place with VV … promo, one-offs, fly dates, that sort of thing. We’re doing a brief east-coast run next week, capped off with a visit to Rachael Ray, then we’re back to LA to do Jimmy Kimmel.

We head to Paris at the beginning of March for 3 days, to do a bunch of promo and 2 shows (including one *on* the Eiffel Tower!). Then we’re back to LA to do Craig Ferguson. I have a week off while VV does some radio stuff around the US, and then we meet up for SXSW and then a tour in support of Little Dragon (with whom we’re sharing a bus as well — should be fun).

Come say hi! There’s a lot more happening this year … I’ll post updates as I get them.

Last night I got hired to do a super fun job — I mixed the new 2010 instrumental version of “Jump Around,” by House of Pain! What a classic track. Listen for it coming soon to a TV ad or basketball arena near you!

Shannon’s tour was fantastic. Thanks to everyone who housed us, fed us, and generally showed us a great time. And thank you to the weather for conveniently routing around us the entire time! We missed rain, wind, sleet, snow, and hail, often by mere hours. Amazing.

We’re now bunkered down in South Pasadena, doing a bunch of label/web stuff, cooking amazing organic food from the farmer’s market, and gearing up for Shannon’s next recordings. More soon!
