<----------- stream / download the hot karate album here!
that's my band! i scream like a banshee and play flashy guitar solos. we released this free album in november. i recorded and produced it. we've performed all over LA, including the legendary Whisky a Go Go. Reviewed as "earth-shattering" and "fun to listen to, upbeat, in-your-face music"
2013: i was just featured at SXSW as the backing musician for a number of amazing comedy shows, including lounge piano for the entirety of Eddie Pepitone's Bitter Buddah show. i also did my first set as my new solo project, KING CYRUS KING
i have a podcast that is a collaboration between myself and actor/comedian Brett Gelman, "GELMANIA". it has been lauded as an exceptionally bizarre and well-produced project. this year we were a featured live act at the Bridgetown Comedy Festival, Outside Lands in San Francisco and SXSW
"One of the oddest performance I can remember seeing
in the past three years of covering SXSW."
[ laughspin ]
"Haphazard creative exploit and hilarious for all the risk taking."
[ ploplist ]
"Displayed a perspective completely unlike any other podcast.
Gelmania is dark and absurdly vulgar."
[ splitsider ]
"The best comedy podcast on earth. Raises the bar, taking
the sonic possibilities of digital audio further than others."
[ tps ]
with comedian/friend Jon Daly, i composed the theme to his podcast and most of the music on each episode. on "Building the Track", we write & record songs under a 20 minute time limit.
we're also ruining twitter with Tim Heidecker. #230PST
go listen to GHOSTLIGHT ORCHESTRA.
i produced,
recorded and played on much of that material.
i also just produced the BULLETINS demo,
which has been super well received!
the APPLE SISTERS "1943" is available on mp3, cd, and vinyl!
i recorded it with my mobile rig in various musicians' homes across los angeles. in addition to all editing, mixing, and mastering! i also play on some of the songs, alongside such greats as Sara Watkins, Paul F Tompkins, and Kate Miccuci
between recording projects, i've been producing audio for NBC, designing business cards (United Front, ReadyRock), and developing iPhone apps for various projects. In my free time I like to drink beer, listen to James Brown, and leave the country.
