New Song! Free Download! Kingdoms!
Friends-
For this week only I have a BRAND NEW SONG available for download. From my demo recording session in the summer of ‘09, my song Kingdoms is available for download at http://www.reverbnation.com/playlist7 – Click on Current Contenders and you’ll find my song. Go now, right now, and download it! Please pass this on to your friends, tweet it, post it, write it with permanent marker on your breasts, whatever ya gotta do – but SPREAD THE WORD!
Again, this is available for this week only courtesy of Reverb Nation and Windows 7. So download away!
Kingdoms is a rocking tune – consider it my ode to vintage rock – this is the demo version, so think of it as a teaser for the final version. The esteemed Mr. Joe Renaud is on Drums and the fragrant Mr. Joe Pepitone is on bass. The flavorful Mr. Clay Holley tracked and mixed this one in a super short amount of time.
Again, please pass this along to whoever you know. I will likely be very annoying about downloading this week.
With love

Guitarist for Swear On Your Life
Ah friends-
It seems every time I post on here as of late that I’m apologizing for not posting more often or putting out some new music. Well time for another apology! I will ABSOLUTELY start posting new songs up next week. Gilroy, my friendly gnome, told me the timing is right.
In other news, I have joined NYC rockin’ heavy weights Swear On Your Life as their guitar player. Awesome people, awesome band, and I look forward to riffing and shredding off all your faces with them on stage. And then, of course, helping you pick your visage off the floor, reconstruct it perfectly, and resist the urge to make you all look like Cindy Crawford circa 1992.
And in even more news, Swear On Your Life is playing this weekend at Crash Mansion in NYC. We’re on at 10:30. Hope to see you there.
2010 will be kinda huge across the board. Looking forward to it.
Love

Thanks Bitches, You’re the Best!
And by “bitches” I mean Microsoft. Remember when I wrote that Microsoft had selected my groovy track “Lorelei” to be part of a campaign centered on indie music and their Zune-pod?
Well, the campaign is over and “Lorelei” went all Hulk and SMASHED expectations. Reverb Nation and Microsoft had set a number of downloads they expected “Lorelei” to hit – well “Lorelei” did EIGHT TIMES that amount. Yeah, 8X that amount. Follow the eight-fold path bitches. If they gave me $5 for each download I could retire comfortably for a month. But they didn’t, it’s a flat fee. They gave me enough to update to Windows 7 or get the new Halo game.They’re cheap, but I love them now. No, you can’t borrow money. 
Thank you for downloading! And thank you for the support! And thank you for being a friend! You’re the best Golden Girls ever!
More free music coming later this week, and more NEW music coming soon.
I Always Keep Lotion Near the Keyboard
Friends,
No need to flog me. I’ve self-flagellated enough already. I’ve been away as other parts of my existence have become a little more time consuming.
On the plus side, my nourishing typing now features Alpha hydroxy and extra-enriched moisturizers clinically proven for very dry, flaky minds. Keep reading my blog and, in time, your minds will be more moist than Miss Piggy’s snout after a swamp tussle with Kermit.
Why the internet was made
Beyond keeping grub on the table I’ve been writing MUSIC. Much music. I aim to have a follow up to Driftwood released in 2010.I’ll be putting some demo tracks from the upcoming album up here for free download soon – very soon. Stay tuned!
I’ll put some more lotion on y’all soon loves. In the meantime, I implore you to work those rough elbows with the little droplets that come from following me on Twitter. (www.twitter.com/pheroze).

Clippy Loves Me, Offers Free Song
Well folks- on the eve of my going into a studio to lay down some demos of songs for my next album, I get the news that one of my songs has been selected by Microsoft to be offered as a free download for a campaign they are running for Microsoft Windows Sponsored Songs.
What song was picked? Well none other than my lovely ditty “Lorelei” – a song that was about 7 years too late to make it into consideration for Gilmour Girls theme music. And for that I am thankful. Yet tearful.
So here’s the deal – I must make it clear that Microsoft is not sponsoring me as an artist. They just dig that tune and want to give it to you for free. And they are not making me fetch coffee for them or rub the boils on their feet or even make claims like “Ballmer pwnz ur ass.” Peter Moore did call and say he would have gotten my name tattooed on his bicep if he still worked there. Then he snorted and cackled and made my phone disappear into a puff of smoke.
Well, the song is FREE. So go download it by clicking here:
Even if you already have the song- be awesome and download it again. Even Clippy concurs.
What is Best in Life? Downloading Lorelei!
Updates and Downlows: Songs, Recording, and More to Vibe With
Unless I get gored during the week by a runaway wildebeest- I’ll be playing this Sunday on June 21st at 7PM at Otto’s Shrunken Head in Manhattan. Come on down for, much like that wildebeest, it’s free! Unless it gets abducted by an alien and becomes a prime representative of our species for exploratory dissection. Thanks wildebeest! Details on the show can be found on my Tour page.
This show will also mark the first live show I’ve played with a bass player in the fold! Please welcome Joe “Joey Baby” Pepitone to the fold. He’ll be holding down the low end and I’m very excited to have him on board.
In two weeks I enter the studio to start demoing songs for my next album. The new songs are coming out great and I look forward to sharing some early recordings with you soon! This time I’ll even remove my bodily fluids from them. If you want a sneak peek soon, then come to the Otto’s show – where we’ll be unveiling at least 5 new songs. Who knows, Fred Hardcastle might even show up.
Joe Renaud, Joey Pepitone and I have been polishing these new songs up – and I think you’re in for a treat. So go to the fridge and make yourself a brownie sandwich or fried cat salad,
mmmm..... Cat Salad
then put on your reading glasses and peep these new song titles:
Show Me Tomorrow
Conversations with a Knife
The Stolen
Old Sad Laughter
Kingdoms
Wreckage of Liars
Caught in the Wheel
They’re so awesome I italicized them.
More soon, things are in the works.
Dead Till Tuesday This Sunday
Howdy pahtnahs-
Man that flu sucked. I haven’t been hit that hard by the flu in a while – and I’ve never canceled a show due to being sick before. Again I apologize for anyone who was going to come out. Look on the bright side – I didn’t give you my flu. And if you wanted it, then you’re sadistic. My next gig is on June 21 at Otto’s Shrunken Head in NYC. Details here.
In other news, I’ve recently started playing guitar in my good friend Joe Pepitone’s band, Dead Till Tuesday. I’ll be playing with them at Otto’s Shrunken Head this Sunday, June 7th. It’s an early show- We’re on at 6PM and it’s free. So Stop by if you can. Joe is a fantastic songwriter and a great performer, and it’s an honor and a hell of a lot of fun to be playing music with him. Check out his website here.
I Was Dead on Tuesday when I missed my show, Now I’m Playing with Dead Till Tuesday. Wow that sounded a lot better in my head than it looks being written out. Where’s the damn delete key? *searchhuntpeck* Fuck it. Cat probably ate it. Too lazy to put my finger down it’s throat.
More news coming soon – I’m hard at work on my Chia garden and my sculpture of the left side of Tony Danza’s face. And on new songs, but I like to order by priority.
with love

Dead Till Tuesday
Oh noes! I gots de flues! Show canceled!
So I have the flu. It sucks. I don’t think it’s of the swinular variety, but the flu is the flu. I won’t be able to play the gig at Corio tonight.
Sorry to all who were going to be there, I’ll make it up to you!
In the meantime, look- puppies!
Flues?

Bring Your Groin to Corio on Tuesday, June 2
Cry no more my fellow going-out-late-on-a-Tuesday enthusiasts, your prayers have been answered. On this coming week you shall no longer have to wonder “What the fuck should I do at 10PM this Tuesday?” for I have the answer. Nope, TV sucks that night – and if you’re like me you’ll have a freshly shaved groin and need a place to show it off at.
I’ll be playing a show at Corio (at 337 West Broadway at Grand Street) – a lovingly quaint speakeasy type that cohabits quite friskily with the surrounding lost bohemia now euro-tourists that is Soho.
And yes it’s on Tuesday, June 2nd. And yes it’s at 10pm. And yes I have absolutely no clue what the set-list is going to be and I probably won’t until we start playing. There will be new songs, though. And there will be $3 Bud Lights and $4 Vodka drinks so these new songs will actually sound good to you. And yes they have comfy couches so you won’t scuff up that freshly shaved groin.
If you can’t make it – the show will be streamed live on nycliverock.com – don’t let it take up too much BANDwidth! Oh! Damn! Snap! Macchio!
They even sent me a fun little flier that has my name spelled correctly on it!
Corio June 2 at 10pm
Isn’t it fun?
See you on Tuesday – don’t forget to lotion up that groin.
Fuck, you know how much spam my site is going to get hit with based on the amount of times I typed groin on here. Fuck.

Quick Note: Show at Bar 4 is Canceled
Yes you read that right – the show on Friday, May 22 at Bar 4 is canceled. Why? Either Swine Flu, Rabid lolcatz or the booker double-booked and we opted to reschedule. You pick the one that makes the most sense to you.
That leaves June 2 at Corio as the next gig. I’ll update once we rebook at Bar 4!
Stop Whining. Show's Canceled.
