copy and paste, won't let me link it. Was a fun wild time.

LA and NY were an exhausting blast. Throw in Hurricane(?) Irene and you've got a helluva trip. 3 instores, 2 tapings, countless dinners, a sea of drinks, and 4 celebrity hob-nobs. Back in Portland for a busy 2 weeks to get ready for tour.

Hookers open for Grails in Seattle, and Vancouver
Nightmoves play in Portland 9/16.

Then I'm off................

Europe. Part Deux

Here are some of the dates, with more to be released later. I'm hoping Spain and NL still get added.
Summer has finally arrived in Portland. About 3 more weeks til The Jicks thing begins for real, not just in a basement or faking in front of a camera. I'm ready to go.

BELATED UPDATE!

A lot has happened since the last post. What started as a Joggers band blog quickly became a hired gun drummer blog, with longings for it one day returning to it's original intent. With some little ripples of Joggerz activity last year now far off in the distance, and an over two year hiatus from touring, it's exciting to say that I'm back. I couldn't ask for a sweeter gig playing with Stephen Malkmus and The Jicks, especially on tour for such a sweet record. Mirror Traffic comes out on my brothers birthday, 8/23 and I'll be atop the throne vacated by thelegendary Janet Weiss. I can't wait for the fall, and a chance to see many of the friends and family I only get to see in a touring capacity. It's been too long, but I'm refreshed and at the ready.

The Joggers Into The Woods Talking@Keith video of us playing in Darrells house, just so happened to be the last time we all played together. Ben has moved back to his native Boston to help solve our global health crisis. Darrell has continued to grow his contracting business and raise the sweetest lil lady in Portland. As well as risk life and limb on the mean suburban hockey ice and hella urban softball diamonds of our fair city. Daniel Sigmund Henry Wilson has been dazzling stage and screen all over the world in too many bands to mention, but most recently Holy Sons and Scout Niblett. Occasionally you'll find us playing boogiebluesjamimprovs together with our friend Zac as HooKERS, or with up and comers Classic Rock revivalists, NIGHTMOVES, fronted by yours truly. Alright then.......

AGES & AGES

So as far as Portland music goes you've got it covered with my buddies here. Unfortunately there's a bunch of sub par bands that are being pushed under A&A's umbrella and wearing a bright red sash emblazoned with Portland Music Scene Are We. They are not real and they will fade and the next trend (grunge house?) that arises will swipe said sash, and Ages and Ages will remain. This band makes me smile every time I see them, and yea I used to play with Tim and Kate, and am proud of that.

This blog is so boring these days and I'm glad to have friends to remind me that great things could be just around the corner.
I had a hard time deciding which song 'cos they are all really great, but I am such a nostalgia based person, especially music wise and this is the oldest song of theirs that I remember, and lo and behold it's called....'No Nostalgia'
