Miles Davis made 50+ albums, revolutionized a genre 3 times, launched the careers of many jazz giants,...

...and has 2.8million monthly listeners. 

That guy in the SUMMER VIBES shirt & mustache who just put out his 1st canned-loop dance-jam probably has 3million. 

Numbers are numbers. Art is art.

Introducing Fredo Baggins!

Half #Corleone, half #hobbit. Weakest of the family… bearer of the ring. (And we all know he wears it too). 

Now I need your help:

Give me your best fake Fredo quote from The Don of the Rings: "__________"

What’s the title of their WORST song?

(Sometimes I like to make bad album covers for fake bands, and you’re welcome)

What do YOU think is most missing in modern music? Drop your hot take in the comments!

Here's my theory: Mouth-trumpet 🎺

Yes, mouth-trumpet. Or... trombone?

Such as in Harry Nilsson' iconic vocal break from "Everybody’s Talkin’"...

🎸Count the awkward faces! 😂  This is what happens when I get lost in a solo… awkward face city. Watch the counter go up as I take a lead over "Everybody’s Talkin’." 

What guitarist do you think makes the weirdest faces? Drop a comment and lemme know.

Every concert of macabre folk-pop originals needs a good cover song. Here's one we practiced the other night, and we promise to know all the words in time for the show. 😉

... we are playing HERE!

This is the new stage at L/A Arts (picture taken when it was still under construction).

It'll be cozy no matter what the weather is doing out of doors.

A great listening room.

Ha. Favorite themed Spotify playlist placement in a while.

Thx to whoever made this list and put "1+1+1=3" on it. 

I'm pretty confident my maths in the title checks out.
