Design Museum gig last friday…

May 27th, 2008 · No Comments

About two weeks ago, I got an email from electronic drum-monkey extraordinaire, Andrew Booker, asking me to do a gig with his improv collective Improvizone, at the design museum.

Two gigs, too many miles…

November 12th, 2007 · No Comments
