Will be the name of the band. We've already got songs (I haven't made an album in almost 5 years, so sweet elvis in graceland but we have songs), and four out of the five players are on board at least to start. It'll be me singing & playing rhythm guitar, John McD singing & playing keys & horn, a bass player & drummer who are on board but let's wait to make sure they work out, and then we need a fifth player, preferably another solo/noise instrument. (I'm thinking either cello or accordion.)
The music will be what I consider to be straight American-style songwriter-driven pop. Think Steely Dan, They Might Be Giants, Warren Zevon, Elvis Costello (who's as American as anyone except for the accent, and has been for two decades at least). John is a Zorn & Cage acolyte, and is currently recording & arranging an album with Anthony Braxton. He finishes on Thursday, and we literally get to work this weekend.
We've been co-writing. I'm excited. This is what I've been doing while not-blogging.
