Canyon’s are forming though Los Angeles.  I played at Genghis Cohen’s last Friday, Feb. 15th, which is a Jewish-Chineese restaurant on the west edge of Hollywood.  Canyons vocalist Jenna Cunningham flew in the day before the show from Galway, Ireland and Saxphonist Reid Watkins drove in from Flagstaff.   The three of us hadn’t rehearsed together in almost a year and unfortunately, we were faced with very few hours for practice before the show.   We decided though that our time would be better spent playing craps with the local hoodlums.

This Genghis show marked the first time Canyons played with backing tracks.  I have been producing beats for my various new songs in anticipation of the EP I plan to produce this summer and these were our backing tracks.  And they sounded GREAT!!!  Makes me yearn for bigger and better things and even more so for a band.  I tend to do great work when I start to feel this way.  The question for me right now is “what is the next step?” I honestly don’t know, but this fire I have burning in me will lead me somewhere .  I think the EP this summer will prove to be very fullfilling.

Go see “There Will Be Blood”.  It is an incredible movie.

SHAQ!!! Shaq is debuting with the Suns today vs.  the Lakers.  SO SUNS!
