Camera one

So...last night we did another performance in an intimate residential environment, this time in Marin County.
The debut of "Forest Hill" - an ode to piano lessons and an obscure neighborhood in The City
A likely winner for "brattiest Christmas song ever", another newcomer to our live set, "I Want A Train"
The repertoire perennial, "Don't You Realize How Cool I Am"
Finally, the fan favorite, "These Donuts (Are Making Me Cry)"

Watch me

So for those who couldn't make it to show six, here's five videos to enjoy!

Daly City, 6:30 PM.  Lots of planned awesomeness, and my compatriots in composition Mario Balibrera and Megan Dabkowski will be opening. :D

New song!

Well, it's not new if you've known me or Sylvia all this time, because we wrote it in December 2011.  But it's now up for public consumption and it is the first track we've posted with full band recording activity!!!

Presenting...The Darren Criss Halftime Extravaganza!!!

Listen.  Enjoy.  Share.

GASP, A SHOW COMING UP.

After several weeks of planning, it's on: our sixth ever show as a band, to be held in a semi-picturesque backyard somewhere in Daly City.

 Bay Area people, please come. 7 PM, November 17 (subject to change). :D

Who are you

Holden: "So what kind of band ARE we?" Sylvia: "An awesome band."

Film at 11

Hey, a couple of video clips from our fifth ever show!

Our newest!

So...a box of aging pastries and some retro inspiration led to a new song, co-written by myself and Ms. Plath.  Yes, we really did compose something titled "These Donuts (Are Making Me Cry)."  Enjoy.

a conversation between myself and Ms. Plath.

Sylvia: I'm in a glass box of emotions right now!

Holden: In Nino Blankenship, we take that glass box of emotions and throw it at the audience.

Clarity

New microphone time!



I've been experimenting with multitracking after a successful full-band recording session with my good friend Sean...and he had this exact mic so I found a sweet deal on it on the web and will be testing it out very, very soon. Woot.
