Oh my God. We had such a good time at “Holocene” on Tuesday for “The Rumble: Portland” with “Jaguar Love” and “DJ A Train”! Thanks to all of you who came out on a school night to “make party” with us! It was great to see ya. Big thanks to “Future Sounds“, “Pampelmoose.com“, “Cravedog, Inc.“, “XO Publicity“, “Music Millennium“, “WOXY“, & “SPIN Earth” as well for sponsoring the event and making the party FREE for all!!! A good time is ALWAYS better when it’s FREE!!!

Speaking of FREE, Samuel Thomas (from “The Portland FREE Music Project“) was in attendance and filmed me performing “Write It On My Left Arm” with “Cars & Trains“. This was our final performance together for a while, so…I’m glad we have this to remember the evening for years to come. Tom Filepp is a truly special performer who I love dearly.

Have a look:

See you again at the end of the month, Portland! Until then, MY LIPS ARE SEALED.

Tonight is going to be SO fun. “Futuresounds“, “Pampelmoose.com“, & “Cravedog, Inc.” (as well as a bunch of other cool industry and local music community folks—”Music Millennium“, “XO Publicity“, “WOXY“, & “Spin Earth“) are sponsoring the show so it’s FREE for you to come and party. They have been throwing these “Rumble” parties all over the US and from what I hear, they are ALWAYS amazing.

Here is a little preview of what you’ll be seeing and hearing this evening at the Holocene…

I’m really excited to open for these guys. They rule.

…but before you get your Jaguar Love, you’re gonna get this:

Brace yourselves for a really good time, Puddletown. It’s REAL. See you tonight!!!

Thanks so much to all of you who came out to Berbati’s in Portland this weekend. “Cars and Trains” and I had a great time and it meant a LOT that you picked my show over Ben Gibbard’s. For those of you who missed it, Samuel Thomas (of The Portland FREE Music Project) got “Bottom Your Way To The Top” on video (which is posted below) and I uploaded tons of photos from the evening on Myspace and Facebook. All 3 of the opening bands were AMAZING. If you haven’t already heard of “Yeah Great Fine”, “Swallows”, and “Winnie Byrd”, click on their names and check them out. You won’t be sorry.

I’ll be seeing you again ONE WEEK FROM TOMORROW (Tuesday, February 2nd) at Holocene for “The Rumble: Portland” with “Jaguar Love”!!! For now, here’s a little clip from Saturday…

(…and I quote…) “This is one of my religious songs. It’s about God and stuff. Actually…It’s about getting FUCKED.” (Somebody should really turn my microphone off in-between songs. I also introduced “Bleed Him Out” with “This next song is about smoking crack and getting the shit kicked out of you.” ha ha ha)

I’ll be opening for “Jaguar Love” at Holocene on Tuesday, February 2nd (2010) for “The Rumble: Portland“, a FREE SHOW put on by the folks at “Future Sounds”, “Cravedog, Inc.” and “Pampelmoose.com”!!! It is gonna be a CRAZY night.

Here’s the poster:

See you this weekend at Berbati’s…then again next month at Holocene! So fun.
