how come you don't have any merch up?! i'd rather buy your albums directly than off some scumbag on amazon.
because i don’t understand how to do a shopping cart on my website and all that stuff. i was born not with internet smart brain. BUT, you can buy all my stuff direct from the labels, duh!!
-Don’t Rock the Boat, Sink the Fucker (CD/LP) & Battle of the Beards (CD): Lovitt Records
-Loose Lips Sink Ships (only available on LP): Bakery Outlet Records-Live radio demos (WXDU v.1, 2 & 3) contact me!

Is there any way to hear "French Fries Are Magical" (other than that live video on vimeo) from the comfort of my home?
Not yet, but I hope to record that one w/the next batch of songs! Where do you live? We’re doing some touring this summer; maybe I could play it for you in the comfort of some shitty loud bar. Or at a house show after mom & dad get home & call the cops & shut the shit down.

Pic from last night’s show. Super feelin the love, y’all. Thanks for screaming my lyrics at me when I forget them…I’d be an instrumental band without you. & thanks NOBODY for asking me out to the Michael McDonald holiday show #gofuckyrselves (© @pugazi )

NEW TOUR DATES w/TIM BARRY!
hellzo! after more or less taking a year off of everything Des Ark-related, we are coming out of retirement. first up, solo tour. oh shit i just realized i can bring my bike. oh shit! if i can find my front wheel. it’s gold so it looks like everything else i own.
also, canada for the first time ever in life. i don’t eat french fries so don’t start with me. sometimes i will eat french fries swirled around in some fucking hummus, but only during the saddest break ups. so that’s like, twice. my artsitic world order: saddest break up, french fries & hummus, new record. have not eaten any french fries lately so probably no new record on the horizon.
more [full band] shows to be announced soon! i play first on all these shows. which is good because i don’t want to have to take any drunk motherfuckers down & i think that usually happens later in the night. later in the night when i’m on a bike ride.

7/19 [solo] PHILADELPHIA PA @ JOHNNY BRENDAS**
