Philly, Frostburg, Syracuse
/Had a blast playing for the first time in Philadelphia (unless my Curtis audition counts), returning to Frostburg (the motherland), and opening for Sister Sparrow and the Dirty Birds in Syracuse this weekend. Here's a pic from Tuba Fresh from Long Branch Jam.
Drum Cam: The Knitting Factory
/Here are two short drum clips (Anticipation and Doppelganger) from PitchBlak's 6/6 show at the Knitting Factory in Brooklyn. Enjoy!

Pennsylvania

Usually I'm kind of anti-PA, not because of anything that state has or doesn't have to offer, but simply because - despite being the 33rd largest state by area - it takes FOR-EVER to drive through when heading anywhere west of NYC.
However, this weekend in Harrisburg and Pittsburgh with PitchBlak were simply off the chain! Pittsburgh particularly turned up hard. Our host there had the brilliant idea of letting us rehearse at his house Sunday morning instead of rehearing in Brooklyn that night after a seven hour drive. Best idea ever.
A beautiful day for busking!
/Here's yesterday's view from Prospect park with PitchBlak. I love the kid in the background that looks simultaneously intrigued and skeptical.
Baltimore! We Partyin!

Baltimore was LIVE this weekend! Such a great time playing at Soundstage. Before the show we had some pizza at Joe Squared and afterwards we stopped by Brewer's Art for some tasty brews. The next day we stopped at Lost City Diner to #juiceup before heading back to NYC. It was a very Baltimore weekend and I can't wait to get back. Here we are with the legendary Kermit Ruffins after the show.

/PitchBlak is about to take the road for our longest run of shows yet. Do you live in any of these cities? I always love meeting new people in new places, so let's hang!
