Hello.For my small but wonderful readership:
2013 will be a re-launch of my gigging life. Time to make some changes.
I think a more stream-of-consciousness format is better suited to my life right now. <br><br><br>

Pushed pretty hard getting the <a href="http://evanpatrick.bandcamp.com/track/sheenas-photo-demo-2">old tune</a> spit-shined and the <a href="http://evanpatrick.bandcamp.com/track/theres-hope-but-not-for-us-demo">new tune</a> finished. <br><br>
Waiting to get feedback from some "industry" peeps. <br><br>
Contemplating creativity, mortality...

out. I think it's the pinnacle of the new <a href="http://mthrfnkr.com/post/6491452717/an-introduction-to-alternative-r-b-post-dubstep" target="_blank">dubstep-influenced, minimalist r&b</a> that's been floating around for a couple of years. When I saw a posting for the performance below, I was curious how
Usher would maintain the (very specific) production vibe live ...<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
I love that Usher's flawed performance (voice cracks, pitch is off sometimes) actually enhances the vulnerability of his delivery. And the chord changes that have been added create a new depth by shifting how the vocal melodies are framed over the course of the song. In a very human, real way, he and the band nailed it. This is a great example of being professional AND being an artist through performance and arrangement. <br />

You gotta know the <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bo6lKQYVUBU">original</a> to have context. But what Bon Iver and The Roots did with this arrangement is not only a beautiful artistic collaboration, but a compelling argument for what can be accomplished when people strive to make cultural bridges to each other. In this case, the result is a nuanced and atmospheric r&b slow <i>jam</i> (in every sense of the word) culled from a woodsy, indie rock art song...<br />

Spank Rock performed, they were actually pretty good. Felt like an "old school" block party...<br />

As you can see, it wasn't just the gallery that turned out to be a "clusterfuck" (which <a href="http://inthisgameaminute.blogspot.com/2012/03/aaaart-update.html">as mentioned earlier</a>, is what the curator nicknamed the show). But since there were so many people, the line to get into the gallery was insanely long and convoluted. Joel and I were def more on the hang back, "let the kids have their fun" approach to the festivities. We stayed for a bit and then took off to a bar down the street with some friends.<br />
<br />
The next day, I went back with my son Mateo and my father-in-law to actually see the show...</div>

The piece had a pretty good spot (relatively speaking). Hopefully people will use the headphones and play some tapes. If not, it still looks cool...</div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
I asked Mateo if he liked the art.</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
He said enthusiastically "Yeah".</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br />
I asked my father-in-law if he liked the art.<br />
<br />
He said (in mandarin) "Ha, ha, I should have brought Mateo's dirty diapers to put in it".<br />
<br />
That about sums it up.<br />
<br />
More shit to come!<br />

For those in the NYC area, the show is up through this weekend. <a href="http://www.familybusinessgallery.com/hennessey-youngman-open-call/">Here are the details</a>.</div>

Wasn't crowded at all, although based on this recent twit pick from curator <a href="http://www.youtube.com/user/HennesyYoungman">Hennessy Youngman</a>, it does seem to be shaping up into what he has (humorously) been calling a "clusterfuck"...<br /><br /><br /></div></div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjgSLhboK7Q1A5xi5KEPBR3Uk1kyIjbsNJVIeQjhPddVw3vguthANKjhtoEvzopWDYiFNsNF5YzBxXLaOajdX0ye_oQw0kSp1VeNPlxdvHhc1gvmVh9ebFWyGELFq7SLNBhmx5mQayfbRo/s1600/ApP1SR9CQAA-Aid.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 191px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjgSLhboK7Q1A5xi5KEPBR3Uk1kyIjbsNJVIeQjhPddVw3vguthANKjhtoEvzopWDYiFNsNF5YzBxXLaOajdX0ye_oQw0kSp1VeNPlxdvHhc1gvmVh9ebFWyGELFq7SLNBhmx5mQayfbRo/s320/ApP1SR9CQAA-Aid.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5725748942152823346" border="0" /></a><br /><div style="text-align: left;">It's a 3-day open call, can't imagine what the space is gonna look like by Sunday. His assistant said it's possible the gallery may get so packed with work, viewers might not be able to walk inside. Sorta like an installation of random art. Which is a totally cool concept. Will be interesting to see what's gonna happen in there.<br /><br />But (sigh), I also like the piece on its own. Hopefully it comes back in relatively decent shape and we can show it again. Even if it's just Bedford Ave on a Saturday afternoon or the merch table at a Citay show.<br /><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Just the nature of the game, nature of the game...<br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div>evan patrickhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00567850920170158053noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8675998770523341270.post-4568770517420089412012-03-26T22:24:00.016-04:002012-03-30T14:33:01.606-04:00Chelsea Art DebutGonna be unveiling some "next level" retro/avant/stoopid dope/hipster art in collaboration with my friend Joel Oreste, a fantastic art director/designer.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;">Here are the beginnings...<br /></div><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhWl04Y15PVy_jmJa7xSJR3Rl0W1aO0s2hyphenhyphenbJpijvMnsUgzT2QICnMqfqYNCeghFO-UQRBFRUG7EwlCXXugDrqDYR-S0nEwjNurc7ZUOOie6vO5zd8TTZuF_JD06KKFdIRu4yYDMrk-Lqk/s1600/IMG-20120326-00065.jpg"><img style="display:block;

Given the draw the of main acts, we were able to play larger venues than usual. It's always a treat getting to rock out at a mid-sized, 500-800 capacity club or theater. It feels more like a "concert", not just a show. And the little extras, like a stage monitor soundperson and an actual stocked green room (not just an extra storage space) make me feel a little, ya know, special. The one thing that I did have to sort through was playing on a bill with bands in a genre (a sort of indie-americana-folk rock) I had previously known very little about, and that I honestly didn't have much personal interest in exploring, especially given my current obsession with glassy and gauzy 80s pop.<br /><br /><iframe src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/p8s42fbKjtM?fs=1" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="270" width="480"></iframe><br /><br />But the level of songcraft, musicianship, and taste in each band really impressed me. I was also struck by the fact that the individual band members of Fruit Bats and Vetiver were all serious pop music heads, discussing everything from the accuracy of various John Lennon biographies to the spanish-language version of David Lee Roth's first solo record (as further proof, Fruit Bats keyboardist/guitarist Dave Depper recently released a note-for-note cover album of Paul McCartney's "Ram"). So over the course of the week, I saw how all of these factors informed each band member's personal playing and added a layer of depth to the songs that came without necessarily wanting to "push" the genre further . A quote I heard once that often comes back to me is "art doesn't always move forward, sometimes it moves sideways." And that was certainly the case for this tour. These folks took their genre as an art form and were working hard within it, giving it interesting colors and shapes, but not necessarily creating something new. Another quote I like is from my music college professor, Anthony Braxton, who said that music is comprised of "Innovators" and "Stylists". I still prefer the former, but I now see the value and satisfaction of the latter.<br /><br />The kickoff Boston gig was packed, with the best crowd of the tour. Of course, I'm biased because it's my hometown and I love playing for my childhood friends (big up <a href="http://www.facebook.com/NephrokAllstars">Nep</a>), but Fruit Bats and Vetiver also commented on the good turnout and crowd response for that show. And Citay came out swinging! We were 1st of 3 for the night and needed to let everyone (including ourselves) know we would be starting these shows with some serious rock. Then came NYC, which was a professional highlight for me because we were returning to Bowery Ballroom to do a full set of Citay tunes (as opposed to the last time, which was a fun but short ten-minute set of covers). While playing that stage was great, my personal performance wasn't quite on point. And things kinda went down from there for me on the next couple of gigs. I had pedal and amp issues in both Philly and DC that were frustrating and distracted me from my performance, but the band as a whole was still sounding very good. By Virginia, I (mostly) knew what was going on and was borrowing an amp from Dan in Vetiver (who has a great project of his own with his bandmate/girlfriend Sarah on keyboards and vocals called <a href="http://purebathingculture.bandcamp.com/">Pure Bathing Culture</a>). This got me off the gear fixation and back on the music.<br /><br />As a sidenote, the venue in Virginia, The Jefferson Theater, was fantastic:<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg5VvpJLqhdiTZORIPhJJAQfJXAsDCjKtA6HqJrjZpsqEDcx-DKLojwHHASgFjhiW_4xx0HOuFN-Ui-Bc52p33ykMpREtdDGesvo5fFwPusv-hLKoBPw9lV9ZtldsKg3TwynuQ7kRmOHik/s1600/IMG-20110916-00268.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg5VvpJLqhdiTZORIPhJJAQfJXAsDCjKtA6HqJrjZpsqEDcx-DKLojwHHASgFjhiW_4xx0HOuFN-Ui-Bc52p33ykMpREtdDGesvo5fFwPusv-hLKoBPw9lV9ZtldsKg3TwynuQ7kRmOHik/s320/IMG-20110916-00268.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5656135334035776962" border="0" /></a><br /><br />It's a beautiful, 100+ year-old theater that has hosted performances by acts ranging from Harry Houdini to the Grateful Dead (our bassist, Tay, has 'Dead bootlegs from there).<br /><br />Finally, everything properly culminated in a near-perfect set in Durham, NC. At that gig, I felt "pro": the band was listening to each other and playing tight, my gear was working, I was hitting my marks, and my solos were 80% to the right ratio of shredding to abstraction. We ended with a fantastically lush psych jam on the song "Eye on the Dollar", with members of Vetiver and Fruit Bats sitting in on pedal steel and keyboard. Ezra (Citay's songwriter/bandleader) said that particular rendition of the tune was one of the most memorable musical experiences he's ever had. Durham was a great coda for the tour.<br /><br />The next morning we left NC and drove for 10ish so hours, only stopping for gas and lunch at an Applebees somewhere in Delaware:<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhTCSr903UqsUfcOOcQSlNqT0Sa7QdVDHe-KqW0wM9BvkDUeAl9jr7CYtCfIZfZDmK0F5kgxUFigyphk1znyIgl9BjGeYLaS-UaE8Zd5NxA08zl7m7YNPsmpbBXKjk7-lzEt8rhyphenhyphen_CVfIc/s1600/IMG-20110918-00275.jpg"><img style="display: block;

That hasn't happened yet this summer, and it's been a strange absence.<br /><br />But this is most likely because I've been obsessing over my own new song, "Hard", which you can now download for free (along with a newly remastered "Body") over at my <a href="http://evanpatrick.bandcamp.com/">Bandcamp</a> page. While "summer jams" usually connote boombox blasts at a bbq in the park or harnessing the emotional pull of a perfect midday sun, these two songs are more in the spirit of a hazy, humid, late night love prowl or gettin down to it at your boo's place.

Been awhile since I was on the road, forgot how time and place become dislodged and filtered through a fisheye lense of sleep deprivation, beer, unexpected beauty, strange personal encounters and 40 minutes of daily visceral intensity. Here are some club pics (courtesy of Pitchfork and Patrick O'Reilly):<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiU5s_lw-4mk-KgpYXNOGVytjgz4kceQRjanJFgCBUW8P-8mPiSPcETqN_HKmBToLpeYuB-D39mytn3k1ONhIClhI2HAAL00vR7eF2lMEZZUONx_mU6REjYbxkdW09lFB2VDnoGdGNg7RQ/s1600/P1000534.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiU5s_lw-4mk-KgpYXNOGVytjgz4kceQRjanJFgCBUW8P-8mPiSPcETqN_HKmBToLpeYuB-D39mytn3k1ONhIClhI2HAAL00vR7eF2lMEZZUONx_mU6REjYbxkdW09lFB2VDnoGdGNg7RQ/s320/P1000534.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5617902337737692146" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEilpuJeMuoAWxjvekH6nh3JynsK58AxzirsQjgUlomPKAYcpOPUI2EgL1azUqKTO189BjMvX6DgJdBbRWHAAJjJMAkn1YRWooAqbROZn2Q7v9nq2MYIxPLN8boreE_OD8QNDLT0Zp9yXoo/s1600/Ez%2526Evan+MoB.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 199px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEilpuJeMuoAWxjvekH6nh3JynsK58AxzirsQjgUlomPKAYcpOPUI2EgL1azUqKTO189BjMvX6DgJdBbRWHAAJjJMAkn1YRWooAqbROZn2Q7v9nq2MYIxPLN8boreE_OD8QNDLT0Zp9yXoo/s320/Ez%2526Evan+MoB.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5617902346267220530" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhl_dJ7OLFm8NDhNVePZ7JHyp42B5HSYAANs8v6LK_yT-Tir0fRTLspATOUeJN7pSZ05Y_3em3TQ1TWEdM1_gB6phVk-tsUI1H68ubuWagcdQD7lLBx40ytYCWUe_JJ85DhHHDkNHwgUEI/s1600/P1000533.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhl_dJ7OLFm8NDhNVePZ7JHyp42B5HSYAANs8v6LK_yT-Tir0fRTLspATOUeJN7pSZ05Y_3em3TQ1TWEdM1_gB6phVk-tsUI1H68ubuWagcdQD7lLBx40ytYCWUe_JJ85DhHHDkNHwgUEI/s320/P1000533.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5617902340024231586" border="0" /></a><br /><br />And a <a href="http://www.npr.org/player/v2/mediaPlayer.html?action=1&t=1&islist=false&id=136503845&m=136580405">link to our Mission of Burma set</a> at the "Our Band Could Be Your Life" 10th Anniversay Concert.<br /><br />Since that band is so guitar-oriented, I've definitely been working my way back towards thinking conceptually about what I'm doing on the guitar. This came to the forefront on Saturday after going to a show in Greenpoint featuring my bros <a href="http://statsbrooklyn.bandcamp.com/">STATS</a> and <a href="http://multitudesband.com/about/">Multitudes</a>. After righteous sets by both bands, Hank from STATS suggested I stick around for the the headliner, <a href="http://www.ahleuchatistas.com/bio.html">Ahleuchatistas</a>. I had never heard of them, but was told they were an improv duo with a stellar guitarist. Within the first 10 seconds of their set, I knew something serious was happening. The drummer was like a jazz-informed Zach Hill, restlessly working his way around the kit with constant propulsion and odd rhythmic placement. But the real find of the group was guitarist Shane Perlowin. He began by fingerpicking this melodic thicket that over the course of ten minutes morphed into a noise drone, an asian-influenced, ring modulated melodic loop and finally a metal shredfest. I left after about 15 minutes. It was 1:15am and my brain/ego could not take anymore of Perlowin's striking creativity. It was literally overwhelming.<br /><br />Since that show, I've been tightening up my definition of "sound concept" as it relates to electric guitar playing. To me, "sound concept" on electric guitar is a creative tone (or several tones) pushing out of the speaker combined with well-crafted songwriting and/or melodic/non-melodic (noise, pedals) phrasing. "Sound concept" is an important idea for me and I'm always working to make improvements to it in my own playing.<br /><br />Here are some guitar players that have inspired me with their strongly developed sound concepts...<br /><br />Adrian Belew<br /><br /><iframe width="425" height="349" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/pWkG576QnO4" frameborder="0" height="349" width="425"></iframe><br /><br /><br />D.P.

The show is actually a tribute bill to the now seminal historical account of 1980s indie rock, <span style="font-style: italic;"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Our_Band_Could_Be_Your_Life">This Band Could Be Your Life</a>. </span><span>Acts on the bill (including St. Vincent, The Dirty Projectors, Ted Leo and Dan Deacon) will each cover a band profiled in the book. Citay will be covering <a href="http://www.allmusic.com/artist/mission-of-burma-p4928">Mission of Burma</a>.<br /><br />Two days later, we'll be heading out on a short Northeast tour:<br /></span><br />Tuesday, May 24th - Cambridge, MA @ TT the Bear's Place w The Donkeys<br />Wednesday, May 25th - New Haven, CT @ BAR w The Donkeys<br />Thursday, May 26th - New York, NY @ Cake Shop w The Donkeys<br />Friday, May 27th - Hudson, NY @ The Spotty Dog w TBA<br />Saturday, May 28th - Philadelphia, PA @ Kung Fu Necktie w The Donkeys<br /><br />So exciting things are ahead!<br /><br />One wrinkle to the proceedings has been a pinched nerve/muscle spasm that put me out of commission for a few weeks, during which time I could not keep my left hand around the neck of a guitar. It's the cliche of a musician's worst nightmare, but when that shit is real, it definitely brings a lot of fears of career sustainability (I make a living playing guitar in schools) and life choices to the surface. Luckily, music production doesn't require two hands, so I have been able to keep busy writing some new music. And now the pain is starting to subside, so I am slowly bringing the 6-string back into the mix. At this rate, I will definitely be shred-ready by showtime.<br /><br />And for the latest in the world of Evan Patrick, check out the new <a href="http://evanpatrick.bandcamp.com/">Bandcamp</a> page.evan patrickhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00567850920170158053noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8675998770523341270.post-51358300901217698912011-03-15T23:57:00.010-04:002011-03-17T00:11:00.156-04:00Mystery Sessions, v.1I laid down some re-e-tar-ded, <a href="http://inthisgameaminute.blogspot.com/2007/10/odds-and-ends.html">Mike Post</a>-esque, 80s guitars for a high profile, immensely talented pop savant vocalist/songwriter/instrumentalist and her sonic wizard producer:<br /><br /><br /><embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" flashvars="audioUrl=http://www.mediafire.com/file/8n243a39g5svgqb/Solo%201%20%28Main%29.mp3" src="http://www.google.com/reader/ui/3523697345-audio-player.swf" width="400" height="27" quality="best"></embed><br /><br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiEwHXohoZXU6OPTK0_nvX_bV8QxxOiFxbWS_YdMbPDuKnfhRp7YiCkfrkJPQrxu6dEUptvkQhXOGc9ebYUTV9XHy22oMh02SDAsbVu-DrQA4vALv-s7r41kJAyzNmYswkSNYXM3F4oiyk/s1600/image.jpeg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 239px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiEwHXohoZXU6OPTK0_nvX_bV8QxxOiFxbWS_YdMbPDuKnfhRp7YiCkfrkJPQrxu6dEUptvkQhXOGc9ebYUTV9XHy22oMh02SDAsbVu-DrQA4vALv-s7r41kJAyzNmYswkSNYXM3F4oiyk/s320/image.jpeg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5584890504336548690" /></a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjXUhiCQWy0fn6FDuK4cPBFHKIuM0Pu6Vj2J6T5hmWNEcxj1j7qOEnDJDpD9mFK-iPOaukx1qVK1iLbsPAT5yeT4Txok7jCzUw9D0NVHur6du81TsHBKuITYIXCuxvg9MFUnagFHVr_rHc/s1600/imani-filter.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjXUhiCQWy0fn6FDuK4cPBFHKIuM0Pu6Vj2J6T5hmWNEcxj1j7qOEnDJDpD9mFK-iPOaukx1qVK1iLbsPAT5yeT4Txok7jCzUw9D0NVHur6du81TsHBKuITYIXCuxvg9MFUnagFHVr_rHc/s320/imani-filter.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5584890125949851826" /></a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhERo_KjX6N8g1wzblvINti2WGO4McVAlFE3OwhxaBGowpmqKQkyuDZd9LTa6HHCyS2XlchjgdujCGGTYIuIWsL4xj6ppmzq8eq_CTSN7Im86vb7z_E65n8uyUufkg4yh1A42HrK9Ad9Ls/s1600/evan+and+josh.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 314px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhERo_KjX6N8g1wzblvINti2WGO4McVAlFE3OwhxaBGowpmqKQkyuDZd9LTa6HHCyS2XlchjgdujCGGTYIuIWsL4xj6ppmzq8eq_CTSN7Im86vb7z_E65n8uyUufkg4yh1A42HrK9Ad9Ls/s320/evan+and+josh.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5584890351120803090" /></a><br /><br /><br />More details on them and the album they're working on to come...evan patrickhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00567850920170158053noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8675998770523341270.post-15138207094600577962011-02-21T20:28:00.011-05:002011-02-23T23:41:07.877-05:00Avant GaaaardeI went to a show in Williamsburg last week.
