New single coming out next month. You can stream and pre-order Name Your Trouble now exclusively on Bandcamp HERE.
I got to work with Belgian Producer (and my forever Electropop hero) Styrofoam on this single, which we wrote together for the series finale of EastSiders TV on Netflix and will be featured in the final season of the show.
Wide release on 11.22.19 —- I still can’t believe any of this is real, but here we are. 🙂
Name Your Trouble comes out everywhere next month, but is streaming now below via the pre-order page if ya wanna give it a spin. Listen for it on EastSiders, too!

I was in the studio recording this (now out of print) album with PFog 20 years ago this weekend. It’s a mess, as were the mixtapes that had led to it, the record that came just after it, and the 2 EPs that followed…but, whatever. It was the 90s, I was a maladjusted teenager, and it was before easy-access technology swooped in to help 17 year old songwriters suck less on their own.
I actually got noticed by the industry way too early in my career and had to figure out how to not totally suck in real time while everyone watched me totally suck on very big stages that these super famous artists I had grown up worshiping had made space for me to join them on. But I wasn’t ready, and I wouldn’t really be ready for another decade.
I blazed forward anyway. I said yes to everything, disappointed everyone, kept writing, met the right people, met the wrong people, went on TV a bunch, continued doing very public things, failed, won, failed, won, failed, won, caused a scene in the circles I was supposed to impress, and slowly got better at all of it until one day in 2008 I woke up and just didn’t suck anymore…or, at least, it wasn’t as pronounced. (It’s also completely possible that I just started sucking in a totally new and different way when I quit drinking. I’m open to that, too.)
The point is, it doesn’t matter how much you suck as long as you scare the right people with your songs while you are still young and beautiful.

For those of you who missed our 2014 Mo Wave showcase, I’m sorry! It was really fun. Wish you could have been there with us. Here are a few clips of me and my wild band boys Gino Mari (on guitar/backup vocals) and AC (on drums) getting down to “Turn Me Out”, a brand new song called “Break Me Down” from my forthcoming 2015 record, and “Tramp Stamps and Birthmarks” LIVE at Chop Suey as we open Day 3 of this year’s festival.
Put on headphones that can handle bass so it doesn’t sound like shit, then click HERE to watch on YouTube, or press play below.

My new video “Tramp Stamps and Birthmarks“, the 1st single we have put out post-Miley boom, has passed the 300,000 views mark in just 3 weeks since its release! I seriously love you all for embracing this very scary piece of dance music horror filth we created. It’s really fun so have so many people dig it!
Huge thanks to Spencer Lee Carroll for writing this song with me, to Gino Mari for Mixing and Producing it, to Robert D’Esposito for being such a creep in the video, to Kevin Forrest for his vision, to Ben Starkey for his mad skills, to Emily Yurek for making everything so beautiful, and to Josh Smith and Kelly Raine for making everything work while we were shooting. I love Hippodrome Films and can’t wait to work with you kids again soon!
