I’m also playing a solo show with Blake e/e/e May 18 at the Echo Curio in L.A. Blake e/e/e/ is the new band from our Italian friends Franklin Delano. It should be a fun night.

Also, as you may know, we’re doing a Red Red Meat show for the SubPop 20th Anniversary shows in Seattle on July 13. The band will be Tim Hurley, Brian Deck, Ben and me, just like old times.
