Unfortunately, our @suburbanrobots.bsky.social show at @musiccitysf.bsky.social tomorrow night has been canceled due to illness within the band. Everyone should be fine, but we don't want to risk getting anyone else sick. We hope to announce more shows soon!

Friday night the @suburbanrobots.bsky.social will make our debut at @musiccitysf.bsky.social. $1 beer specials, a full set of your favorite Devo tunes performed by a kick ass tribute band featuring yours truly on lead guitar, and 80's karaoke until they kick us out. It's going to be EXCELLENT!

Hey, East Bay Spuds! 🥔 This Saturday evening I'll be on lead guitar as @suburbanrobots.bsky.social make our triumphant return to the Retro Junkie in downtown Walnut Creek to spread the word of Devolution. 🎸 We start at 7pm, followed by Faith and Devotion: A Depeche Mode Tribute at 8:30pm. Whip it!

I'll be back on guitar with @suburbanrobots.bsky.social later this summer performing all of your favorite Devo tunes! We'll be at the Retro Junkie on Sat Aug 23 opening for Faith & Devotion: A tribute to Depeche Mode. After that we're headlining 80's Night at Music City SF on Fri Sep 5. Whip It!

The sun is setting on FLIPPY FLOPPY's STOP MAKING SENSE spring tour. The last stop is Friday at Art Boutiki Music Hall in San José. I'll be joining the band on stunt guitar for the last few songs. Bang On is opening with a set of 1990s Britpop covers. Shauna is hoping they'll play "High and Dry." 🎸

If you missed Flippy Floppy recreating Talking Heads' classic Stop Making Sense concert at Rickshaw Stop last month, you have two more chances:
- Fri May 30 at Retro Junkie in Walnut Creek
- Fri June 6 at Art Boutiki Music Hall in San José
I'll be joining the band on guitar for the last four songs!

Next Saturday I'll be playing guitar on the last few songs of STOP MAKING SENSE with FLIPPY FLOPPY at the RICKSHAW STOP! This is going to be an awesome show and I'm excited to be a small part of it. @strngwys.bsky.social and the band have been working hard to recreate the classic 1984 concert movie.
