NEWS:
Not much to report. Lots of scattered gigs all over the place, as you can see. Lots of private bookings as well. Everything across the board from solo acoustic to duet to full blown rock. Take your pick and join in the fun!
RECORDING UPDATE: It's a process, as many of us know. Currently things are in a state of overdubs and writing/tweaking lyrics for the RED POP FURY debut . DECIBELLA has been in the mixing phase of the project, although the jam sessions keep adding new ideas to the pile! Tim Lydon had surgery on his back (ouch) and is just about at the end of recovery mode, so that put the FROSTING jam sessions in the clouds for a bit.
That's all I got!
Rock on!

Spiv blows dust off keyboard…
Well hello everyone! It has been a while. Happy belated new year. As you can see the gigs are slowly trickling in, more in the works week to week. If any bands interest you, go to their respective websites, facebook etc. or check back here and if I can get my procrastinating ass to actually update this page from time to time you shall be in the know!
Other news on the Kentland/ Kentland related front? Music is being made again! Hurray!
Act 1: As I have stated before in these mailers, myself, SPIV, and my good friend Matt Friscia who happens to play with me in the entertainment conglomerate, PETTY CASH (he's also the drummer for the Poster Children) have been working on a project. For what has literally been several years now, we've had random jam sessions at my house, recorded a ton of riffs etc. And have narrowed things down to enough music that which we actually agree to put out some sort of release. Now that we've laid down a bunch of vocals and several songs are in the completion stage, I can finally start talking about it, rather than rambling about two dudes jamming in a room with no clear agenda. AND - Low and behold, we have actually agreed on a name for this project as well. Drumroll please… DECIBELLA
I feel we're right at the half way point, so it's time to chat it up. We're very excited to be moving forward on this. What does it sound like? Well, I play guitar, Matt plays drums, and I have a bunch of other musical crap in my basement . Details to come as we move closer to the finish line.
Act 2: FROSTING Many of you know this band because you're reading the Kentland Records Infoblast. Once our former bass player and keyboardist/singer departed years ago things went into a low phase. Tim and I have kept in contact all throughout and we know that we have plenty of material to start cranking out, and most of all, we want to.. If anything to finish the unfinished business. We've had a couple of random jam sessions over the years, but we didn't push farther. The feeling of motivation is stronger now and we want to give it a go. Of course having a full band would be a wonderful thing, however we're no strangers to hacking away at it like the crazy kids we are. We're not seriously searching for anyone right now, but if you know anyone who would be interested in something like FROSTING as a bass player, keyboard player, singer you know where to reach me. There aren't many plans on tours or diving back into the current local Chicago scene from square one as a bunch of older dudes, but who knows when you have a shiny new record in your hands to promote…
Act 3: Surprise! RED POP FURY this is the perfect example of “never say never”. I would safely say for the last 10 years my longtime friends Tony Porfirio, Chris Glynn and myself have been talking that RED POP FURY should make music, because it would be the greatest music ever made, because we are the greatest band on the planet. Seriously, this conversation has been going on for 10 years or more. Well, almost exactly one year ago, Mr. Glynn said “what are you guys doing next year in January” ? We're like, uhh… nuthin? So we took three days, made it concrete in the calendar a year in advance and said we're going to make some songs. We went to an isolated joint up in northern Michigan with a trailer of rock'n'roll, some food and some libations. The funny thing is, we hardly had any ideas musically. Well after three days in that sort of an environment we were extremely productive and walked away with a fat bunch of songs that completely encapsulate what the vast musical palette RED POP FURY. We're pretty fortunate to be able to do something like that. Had a small feeling of what it felt like in the 70s when bands just had time to sit in rooms and create. Granted the songs are still in the musical phase, I would say they're at 90% completion. But I have a feeling this project is going to move fast. There's been debate about changing the name amongst us if we do release an actual record on this music, but we are definitely the kings of dumb band names. Please stay tuned!
That's about all I got this round. Until next time my lazy ass gets in front of this laptop, please check in or reach out to find out where you can share the rock and roll experience with any and all of us.
Rock on!

NEWS -
2021 Ended on a fairly crappy note. The "band trailer" loaded with PA gear and other assorted musical gear, was STOLEN. Ouch. Later found, but sadly, empty. The best of the best stuff was not in there, thank God, but the loss still hit hard. Still in the process of rebuilding.
Other than that, no news is good news, right? Hasn't been much on the books because of our favorite pandemic the last couple of years. Things seem to be opening up now, so check in from time to time for calendar updates.
On the original music front, some trickles of life here and there, as there's always music flowing in the brainwaves along with sporadic jam sessions or even the "we need to get together and jam" correspondence. Spiv has a long running project with long time friend, Matt Friscia (Poster Children, Petty cash) That project is slow, but taking shape. Several tracks recorded, more in the works. Frosting is in the same boat - accumulating songs/ideas, in the early stages of recording/writing.
SPIV and Tony are contemplating a TOPAZ retrospective box set. No, really.
ROCK ON!
