I'm excited to be typing that my good friend R. Clint Colburn will be playing with me throughout the U.S. tour and beyond. We are now going under M.A. Turner and R. Clint Colburn's Cross.

Also, we are desperately looking for help re: booking European dates for September. If you have any contacts or ideas, please email me at wasabi.wolf@gmail.com


Much love, more to come soon....

Oh, tomorrow night we are playing with Awesome Color at the Void in Lexington. Come on out.

I've been putting up 'found' images on this blog but will soon share my own work on this here site. If you're interested in checking out my art, go here. I will be updating said page in the next few days, so check back soon...

Things have been good lately. The show this past Sunday in Columbus was fantastic and I would like to thank Chad Shepherd for putting it together as well as playing with his group Jam Division. Big thanks also to Ginger Fetus for ruling it and to Valerie for hanging out...also, thank you R. C. Colburn for accompanying me on the ride to and fro...CELEBRATE! will hit soon my friend! Get drawin'!

Information-

Still waiting on official interary for July/August tour with Castanets. However dates are up on Myspace for the shows I'll be playing on the way home. If you absolutely have to ink something in yr planner, jot down "Go to Fact House on July 2nd
'LET'S SEE THE RAIN FACER' C20 AND 'HOLDING ON' C32 have both been sent to Mr. Animal Disguise and will see the light of day in roughly a month and a half, definitely for tour so put some cash back for these first two M.A. Turner cuts. Check here to keep an eye out for ordering details.

In art land, I am working on a book with R.C. Colburn that will be ready by July 2nd. There I said it, now we HAVE to get it completed.

As I mentioned in an earlier post, there are more a few leftover gems from the ashes known as Warmer Milks. Vinyl and compact disc format details coming soon.

Peace.

Hanging out at Clint's jamming Reptile House, Lungfish and "Dirt" while gearing up for tonight's show in Columbus. Leaving early to hit some bookstores and sip coffee before gig.

Played that show at the Boiler Room last night to barely anyone. 95% of those in attendance hated it. The music itself was more violent than I had anticipated but in retrospect I am pleased with the results.

set-

American Biker
Torrid Affair/9i8u87uy7yqr7ye
Your try, Susan/q9wuqwoeihads
q983oyrwiahsdkfosifyo
Choya

More information soon on summer U.S. tour with Castanets as well as cassettes coming out in the coming months.

I hate waiting around. I mean, I REALLY hate it.

Playing in Lexington tomorrow night at the Boiler Room (behind Tolly-Ho and Akward Moose). Starting around 10p.

Claudio Baroni enjoyed 'Soft Walks' I think...

Words found in their natural state here. Below is sub-par online translation:

The symptoms of " Soft Walks" they are those riconducibili to the rock desert and melancholic of the Green On Red, and also of the Clem Snide. Michael Turner, the leader of the Warmer Milks, dangerously modulates - its voice with that of Dan Stuart. He writes songs disc of a valve, intrise of much solitudine. This lp tells of small history of the periphery, polverose roads and mastodontiche drops of blood. If one closes the eyes it can see the cumbersome landscapes described in " Soft Walks". This is music that does not love the light, but risplende only with the buio of the night. With the moon that irradiates perfidi curses. Disc deliberately suffocating and cursed.
