For those who live in Columbus or the surrounding area, I’ll be playing a set this Friday August 6th @ Carabar in Columbus Oh. The show is free and all ages are welcome. The show is in celebration of Carabar’s 5-year anniversary, and there are a few other bands playing as well. If you know about Carabar, then you probably know the owner Ron, who will be DJing for me that night. Since i imagine this will be a pretty fun event, I’m going to try out a few new songs from the upcoming album, and see how they work in a live setting.
If you’re in the area I hope to see you out.

Sorry i haven’t been blogging much lately. Wanted to announce the next Greenhouse show in Columbus. Saturday March 6th @ Skullys playing with the legendary Prince Paul. Hope to see everybody out!
Thanks for the support!
First, Weightless Recordings would like to thank everybody who has picked up the Electric Purgatory EP so far, especially those who also picked up the Greenhouse Hoody + CD combo deal. Since spring is arriving soon, we would like to announce the next deal which is a Black & Silver Greenhouse T-shirt (printed on American Apparel t-shirt), plus The Electric Purgatory CD/EP w/ instrumentals, and an 11×18 electric purgatory poster for only $15.00.
Thanks for your Support! And yes, I do mail out all orders myself!
A couple years back i released a free ep called Blueprint vs Funkadelic. It was something i did for fun in the studio and to kind of pay tribute to a band who i had recently rediscovered thru the wonders of vinyl. A lot of artists and producers do “mashups”, where they take existing vocals and put them over something else, but i try to do this series of record differently, by writing original material and not recycling rhymes. If you haven’t checked out Blueprint vs Funkadelic before please check it out and get ready for the next installment.
I’ve decided to do this again, but using music from The Who. Blueprint Who will be released sometime in February. The promo version will be free to download, and the delux version will come with a free poster, sticker, as well as the instrumentals. Stay tuned for more specific details.
Thanks for the support!
