Thanks to Kailey Zercher @theviolinpedaler for stopping by Left of the Dial last night! We discussed her band’s upcoming Radiohead tribute show at @portlandhouseofmusic on Friday night and spun some tracks from Thom Yorke and crew. Shout out to Jen & Adam, who called in and won tix to the show. #radiohead #radioheadtributeband #portlandhouseofmusic #wmpg by @theviolinpedaler

Last year I performed Radiohead’s album OK Computer as a collab with some of my favorite Maine musicians from @thewompsrock, @mktrioband, @futuremailmen and @ladybrain.music and it was one of the best show experiences I had last spring. We got such a strong crowd response to do another Radiohead opus that we couldn’t say no! Tickets are now on sale for round 2 playing IN RAINBOWS on 4/10 at @portlandhouseofmusic! Gonna play both discs 1 and 2 for the real heads!

What a great feeling to finally put out that record that you sweated over for usually longer than expected! 😅 A couple years ago, my band @thewompsrock cozied up in the beautiful live room at @defiantaudio and recorded this record. This sliver of time is the result of shredding arrangement and improv concepts during the peak of the pandemic, and I feel that we were able to capture a piece of that magic that comes from the musical bond of learning to read each other’s minds for a certain period of time. Though this kind of music is not what people colloquially think of as jazz, the freedom of expression, spontaneous musical conversations and living on the edge of the knife are the elements of jazz that have transformed my life for good. This album embodies what I love to do, and I’m excited to see what growth it will bring me and The Womps now that we’ve let it go.

Couldn’t have done it without my talented friends:

My partner in life, love and music @mrcappuccino3000 on drums, electric guitar and vocals
@markmcmusic on electric, acoustic guitar and vocals
@rucaslich on bass and vocals
Rafi Carleton and @beep_bop_blip at @defiantaudio as recording and mixing engineers
Mikey Young as mastering engineer

And Ann Taylor for letting us use the photo as our album cover taken by her grandfather W.T. Benda in 1925.
