Hi! I’ve just signed on to do some work with VV Brown, from the UK. The first month or so is a lot of promo — I’ll post tour dates as they are confirmed!

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!

We just recorded a live DVD with Everlast at the Key Club. HDNet did a 12-camera HD shoot, and we tracked to Pro Tools as well for a future release. The show was a ton of fun, with a bunch of guests onstage and eye-catching people in the crowd. Be on the lookout for that coming to a TV near you sometime in the first part of 2010.

We have one more quick show in Vegas coming up, then Everlast’s baby is due and I’m going on tour with my wife! Her schedule is at http://shannoncurtis.net/tour — come out and say hi if we’re in your town.

The LCN European onslaught continues! The reception over here is amazing right now. The Hip Hop Kemp crowd was INTENSE! One of the best crowds I’ve ever mixed for. SO inspiring.
