My bandmate Patrick from Explone is opening solo for former Hüsker Dü drummer Grant Hart (shown above) tonight at the High Dive. Go Pat!

In other news, I'll be playing a short 30-minute set at the KISS Cafe in Ballard on 11/28. It's only my second (and probably last) solo gig of 2009, and I'm thinking about playing nothing but covers, using a pseudonym, and possibly wearing a disguise. I'm opening for Kyle Stevens, who'll be dipping into his vast catalog of Collider, Kirby Krackle and eponymous tunage.
