Hola! The BD Band tour of Spain was a bonafide success. A big thanks to C4 Management, Lovemonk Records, A Reixa, and La Castanya! Highlights include stellar shows in Madrid, Pamplona and Santiago de Compostela, plus a sweet television appearance for Radio Tres TV. To view that performance, clickhere.
Magically, at the end of the tour we got to meet legend
ary Aztec Camera frontman, Roddy Frame. We’d been covering his hit, ‘Oblivious’ in our concerts every night, as an encore. To our surprise, the man himself was doing a solo show in Madrid on our last night in town and we got to meet him.
Next up, we play Harvard & Stone in Los Angeles, sharing a bill with our handsome pals Luke Sweeney and Miller Carr. There will be a west coast tour in July with Extra Classic, so stay tunes for those dates!
It gives me great pleasure to announce the upcoming tour of Spain! Starting April 23d, me and the band will be playing in Albacete, Leon, Bilbao, Pamplona, Zaragoza, Madrid, Santiago, Pontevedra, Valladolid and Barcelona. Check the ‘Tour’ page for dates, venues and times!
A video for DUST IN THE CIRCUITS is out now! Directed by CASSANDRA LEE HAMILTON and starring the delightful NEDELLE TORRISI, the video muses on modern love in the hills of Los Angeles.

That’s the title of track number three on the forthcoming album, ‘Physical World’ – out in March on Lovemonk Records. Its been compared to Simply Red. I like to think of it more like Gil Scott Heron singing with The Pretenders. You can stream ‘Fuck Fame’ right now at E-Music!

Spain at a glance
It seems like I blinked and January was nearly over. Happy belated New Year to all yall! The end of 2012 was a busy time for me, recording, then touring Germany, followed by Spain and finally back to California to mix the new album. The Spanish tour was particularly epic. Gigantic thank yous go out to Joan Guardia, La Castanya, Houston Party and of course the four gentlemen who make up the group, Biscuit, possibly the loudest band in Catalonia. We covered a lot of territory, both geographically and spiritually. It was my thirteenth trip to Spain and surely one of the most memorable. Special thanks to Pinky!
I arrived back in LA just before Christmas and immediately joined producer, Luke Top to finish mixing the new album. That record is being mastered as I write this! 
Details for its release will be forthcoming and announced here soon. Meanwhile, its time to do some more live shows. The first two cities to be rocked in 2013 will Be San Francisco and Los Angeles! Me and the band can be seen and heard on February 1 at Cafe DuNord in SF along with some of the bay’s best: Hot Lunch, LENZ and Puce Moment. Then Thursday, February 7 we’ll be in LA at The Satellite opening a record release night for Big Search. Check the ‘Tour’ page for details and we’ll see you there!
