Rodent to rodent to rodent to rodent to rodent....

It's amazing how this album - a project that I abandoned over 25 years ago - has returned to life. It's mainly thanks to Matt that this has happened, and it's really exciting to be playing these songs again (once the album is released I'll write all about 'em in the "Every Song" blog). I've just returned from Los Angeles where I did a one-off show with Jonathan Mann's Rock Cookie Bottoms (Matt is also in the band, but he couldn't make the trip) at this dive bar called Mr. T's Bowl. Now it's back to work on Rodent to Rodent! I'm working with the band Get Off the Stage! which features Backorders drummer Jim Usher on bass, Matt's little brother Zak on drums and guitar and my fab nephew Mikey Reznick on lead vocals. I've augmented the lineup with Backorders Robin Famous and Greg Reznick because we need an extra pair of hands - and a couple more voices. The rehearsal schedule is packed into the Saturday slot along with Two Pant Suit and The Backorders. Webmaster Ian (Matt's other little brother) is coming over Tuesday to do some more work on the site, which is coming together nicely - I'm especially impressed with the logo Matt's friend came up with. Tickets will (hopefully) officially go on sale on the 13th when Matt and I do the Pirate Cat Radio interview. Lots to do to prepare for that. Rodent to rodent to rodent to rodent....
