At the moment, I mostly make music by myself as Permafav, but also sometimes with Joel Roston as DELTA. I used to play in Brutal Love Masters, Big Bear, Krang, and Polaris Mine.
Last summer, I did the layout for Nurse & Soldier’s new LP, “You are standing behind the curtain”:
Last fall, I started playing drums with them.
This winter (i.e. this week!) we’re doing some regional touring:

Against all better judgment, I have agreed to play three solo shows in the next few months.  My solo musical endeavor is called PermafÄv and usually consists of me in my room with a computer, creating songs and sounds, and then releasing recordings of them.  But now PermafÄv will also include me trying to recreate those songs and sounds, in real time, in front of people.  Come see how it all turns out!

Yes, it’s true. The band that was Big Bear has ended. But we have a parting gift! Joyful Noise Recordings has just released our final EP, See Out, as well as our second full-length, Under the Beach. Please enjoy them!
I will continue to play music on my own as Permafav, with my friend Matt in Brutal Love Masters, and hopefully in a new project involving some of the members of Big Bear. So stay tuned!
We’re playing a house show (contact me for the address) with the Abner Trio, Hex Map (who are celebrating their first show ever), and Scouter. Come hang!
We’re playing the Middle East (upstairs) with our good pals and 7″ split-mates Child Bite as well as Boston bands Pretty & Nice and Battle House.
Come hang!
Five songs in three days at the totally not air-conditioned Ocropolis in Brooklyn. Â It was very serious!
I wrote and recorded a solo EP last winter under the moniker Permafav. You can hear it now at permafav.muxtape.com or myspace.com/permafav.
