Just got back from traveling a few days ago. In a sense I'm always traveling I just don't always see the earth moving below my feet cause I get so lost in my head. Yeah I travel a lot in my own head with my imagination, lucid dreams and dreams in general. So in the real world I went on a big jet plane to New Jersey,Philadelphia and NYC. Seeing Mom, friends and family. In Philadelphia I saw rain and art. Oh and I love the urban style girls have on the east coast. It can be real subtle sometimes but its cool. I dig it. Art always inspires me in so many ways. I saw stuff by Picasso,Cezanne, Duchamp, Mattisse, so many more and especially one of my favorites......Jasper Johns. So dope. Being in Jersey is interesting for me cause its where I'm from. Its funny hearing people dis Jersey saying how its the armpit of NY. Suckers. Jersey is so lush and green its not even funny. Plus we have really nice beaches.
What does any of this have to do with our music? Lots cause it refreshes the soul and reenergizes you in so many ways.My heart was talking to me while I was there and I didn't figure it out till today. I'm at a place in my life where my heart is pretty ripped open. Its a scary place to be and and amazing place all at once. I'm getting more and more comfortable with it everyday I live. So much great emotion I feel like its gonna explode sometimes. Crazy.But without emotion your heart doesn't really feel. And then the heart dies. No one wants to have that. All I gotta say is feel it..............let it in.
And who can forget NYC? Chillin with Tarasky and the ever so infamous Matt Goias. Both inspiring people in their own right. Now back home and working on our new song called "The Market". Its flowing through my headphones right now as I type. So many cool ideas and vibes going on musically within the 4 of us. Alex Keefe brings such a great beatstyle to this band that we have been longing for,doesn't get much groovier than Gilday on the bass, and Kevin is a lyrical Jackson Pollack. Everyone jamming together painting on our canvas. I am so grateful for those magical 3 guys.
So for the near future we might possibly be traveling to a northern city soon........stay tuned. Otherwise tune into these upcoming shows.......
