I've added some new pictures to the gallery (Miscellaneous).
They are from the Celtic festival where I got to hang
with my friends Bad Haggis. These guys are phenomenal
musicians and fun to hang with. They recently took home
some music awards for "Best World Music
Album", "Best Celtic Instrumental Song"
and "Best Group of the Year". Pretty good stuff.
You've probably heard Eric before and just didn't know
it. If you've even seen (and heard) the movies Braveheart,
Titanic, Cinderella Man, Million Dollar Baby and
many others, then you've heard Eric Rigler.

I've added a new video to the VIDEO page. It is the
song "Vertical Integration" from
Project Steiger performing at Musician's
Institute.

Went to go see Iron Maiden tonight at the Verizon
Wireless Amphitheater in Irvine, CA. Great show. The
band sounded great. Have to thank Kelly Paiste (PAISTE
cymbals) for the backstage VIP pass.
Nicko McBrain sounded awesome!

Today is the day that I've been waiting for for a
long time. Kevin Smith's next installment of the Jay
& Silent Bob movies is here, CLERKS2. Go out and see
it. He is a very funny and talented AND smart
individual.

Neil Turbin's Deathriders have been added to this
year's Sweden
Rock Festival. The festival is from June 8-10 and
has some great bands. A couple of the headliners are
Deep Purple and Whitesnake. There are some great metal
bands there as well, such as Metal Church, Nevermore,
Gamma Ray and Doro to name a few. The Deathriders are
also writing new songs for the upcoming CD entitled 'A
Fate Worse Than Death'. The new songs have a
much more progressive feel while still being heavy. I
will be laying down some serious drum tracks on this
one!
