Ok, so you might not believe this, but the four of us have been working together as Dead Letter Perfect for the last three months, and today, oh epic Friday in May, is the FIRST time all our of us have been in the same room together... :D

We've got (the) Angie Swan rockin' the guitar, Jeff Sorenson (when not manning the board) layin' out the drums, Geoff Early handlin' those keys while doin' a bunch of producing, and Brad Crowell (yes, I'm speaking about myself in the third person) doin' a lot of writing before headin' up the vocals and bass.

Stick around cause we're gonna be playin' shows in and around LA soon...

Jeff is out for the evening, so he offered to let me use his space to get some writing in... and I absolutely took him up on his offer!

Unless you have a dedicated space to write in, it becomes difficult to escape the insanity of "home life" to go someplace and not be interrupted.

Thanks Jeff!

Last Thursday I had a chance to get together with Geoffro, but today with Angie and Jeff. It's amazing to connect with friends, as well as professional musicians!

Started running through a few tunes and talking about the future :) watch out now!

It was an awesome trip - I'll do my best to recount the details in the next few posts!

So, apparently some poor dude has to stand outside in negative 25 degree (celsius) weather pumping others gasoline - in Winnipeg, at least. NOT that awesome to have that job... hope he gets paid well!

We didn't even stop here, but I totally felt the need to take a pic so I could remember being here. Because honestly, unless we're playing shows here I don't see myself coming back soon :D

Ohhh snap - heading up to Winnipeg, Canada with Sketch Williams and Alicia Sikorski. I'll be up there about a week, in and out of meetings and the studio. Right after we get there we'll be playing Sketch's stuff at a house party.

Gotta love road trips!

Just stopped in to Barnes & Noble to use a gift card I received and decided to look up a few books on touring and management. Time to add a splash of business to the creative bubble that's been home for the last few months!
