writers, like will from
starved magazine, have talked about how we are unlikely friends and utterly different from each other. this blog entry is dedicated to our guitarist/keyboard player, nate senge. in his own words about the band, "there is definitely a clear force trying to rip it all apart, and a clear force trying to cohere it back together, and they are always in opposition. Sometimes one or the other wins out. I think the best work that has come out is a balance." nate & i both share a deep distrust of complacency and a need to travel - we are either completely in sync or completely out of sync with each other. nate's an extreme skiier who has been filmed skiing the line in the photo above in jackson hole and skied the Alaskan Chugach with Olympian
jeremy nobis this year. he's about to start a masters in anthropology, but did i mention he got from his
dad mad physics skillz as well? right now, he's off backpacking argentina. which leads me to my next point -
on may 14th, kittens ablaze &
bang camaro will be reunited at the jezebel feature show, featuring my buddy bryn bennett of bang camaro as our lead guitarist. if i have my way, we will be covering revolution at this show.
we'll also be headed to toronto as a showcasing artist at the
NXNE festival in june! pretty excited for our first appearance in canada! finally, rob paterson of
maNYC records and my good friend from high school (a veritable factory of musicians and artists, it seems) will be joining us as our live show sound engineer go forward. other than that, we just had another fun show at mercury lounge involving nick crowdsurfing and the entire front row jumping on stage for wandering song. we're looking forward to playing a bunch of fun DIY shows on brooklyn home turf and planning out a midwest tour for the summer.
