hey people! it has been way too long, but here is an update on what has been happening, and what is going to happen.

i got home from my european tour and felt very burnt out and took a break from the internet. i would like to thank everyone overseas who helped me set up a show, housed or fed me, or just was kind enough to come out and support. thank you all so much! it was an amazing time.

i am back in the swing of things now. i have new songs up on myspace that you can download, i have a west coast tour coming up in jan/feb with nicky click, and another tour of the country in april. i will keep you all posted on what is hapening in the new year.

til then, happy holidays to you and yours. xokatastrophe

news

hey everyone, sorry it has been a minute since i updated the site — i have been very busy.

since last time, i was selected for a competetive reality series on VH1, called the white rapper show. i turned the offer down even though i am curious to see how the show turns out — it airs in 2007.

i have also finished shooting a music video for "the life", directed by caitlin parker — you can see the first half at www.inthelablight.com under band videos. once it is edited it will be airing on logo's New Now Next. i will be sending out an alert so you will all know the date it will start to air.

i am leaving for a european tour soon, so be sure to check the dates.

til next time, xokatastrophe

update

so i am home from my tour and everything was great. i met a ton of cool people all over the place. we had good shows and good times. some of us lost money in vegas, others won, and others lost track of time and won hearts across the land. ;)

i am taking some time off from touring to focus on recording and procuding. i will still be playing shows on the west coast and planning a US tour for the summer. if you can't wait until then, you can always book me at your college in the meantime. i am also in the process of planning a european tour for the fall. so until then, please check back for new music, new merch, and new news!
