DIRK DIGGLER:
There has been a lineup change in DD. Heppi is taking a break from the band, and my Triad bandmate Scott has joined the band to take his place. We had our first show with Scott last month, and it was a smashing success. Unfortunately his second show I had to miss due to a scheduling conflict. I have to thank Alec from Hangar 5 and Justin from Mr. Stix for helping the band out in my absence! We have a ton of new shows to add, as we found out that we are going to be performing at Little Hoolies pretty much once a month now, as well as our monthly gigs at Cafe 27, so make sure to check out the "Upcoming Gigs" section to see what all is coming up! New songs are getting rotated into the show, and I think you'll be pleased with how the band sounds!
TRIAD:
Scott, Henry and I are continuing to get the new Triad show ready to go. Obviously, with Scott joining DD, we've had to take a small break from rehearsals so that Scott can get up to speed with DD's songfest, but don't worry, we'll be back on the road soon. The fun thing that has been going on with me is that Henry sometimes subs for DD's drummer Jaime, and when that happens I get to say that I'm playing with BOTH of my bands at the same time! That's really crazy when ya think about it! Watch this space...
SOLO STUFF:
I'm starting to get material together for my yearly "Album" project. So far, just a few guitar riffs and a really cool lyric that came to me last night around 3am! Once the "day job" stuff winds down (2 more weeks), I'll start working more seriously on this. I'm also looking to try to get some acoustic shows in as well. There are a couple other projects that have been sitting around, and I'm hoping to get back to them this summer as well. I'm feeling the need to up my output and get myself more visible, so I'm planning on trying to get some things in motion in that regard. It may be a while before things are obvious, but I'm committed to getting these things done!
