And now for a post about music...

Switching gears from film for a minute here... My band Monster-Sized Monsters has officially announced our new drummer: Chad Sixkiller. We are excited to have him on board. He is bringing a new dynamic, full sound to the band and we think this will be a very good direction for us. We also were written up in SSG Music as one of 10 Portland bands to watch for! Check out the article here! Here's an excerpt:

"Proving once again that rock and roll is not a boys-only club, Monster-Sized Monsters fuse the early-nineties, Riot Grrrl punk rock aggression with a bit of the modernized, danceability that has been borrowed from the post-punks by such bands as the Kills and le Butcherettes. If MSM keeps their nose to the grind and finds the right audience, I could really see them going places."    -Nick Hilden, SSG Music

Finally,  tomorrow (Dec 23) my cover band (The Cover Girls) is playing the Ash St. Saloon. The Cover Girls is a nostalgic punk/rock cover band, we play classic punk influenced songs from the 70s, 80s and 90s. I play the drums. So if you're looking to catch some subculture vibes tomorrow night, come on out! I think we are opening the show so come early. 7pm or so. Portland, OR. Downtown at 2nd and W Burnside. 21+ Probably a cover... $5 or less.

Happy Holidays!
