I had a lot of fun playing at the Baked Potato last weekend w/ the new version of out Trio with Doug Lunn on bass and Alex Machacek on guitar. I'd like to thank so many friends for coming out to see us and supporting the eventv. I was honored by the presence of Don Lombardi, Gregg Bissonette, Myron Grombacher, Barry Schneider, Steve Lukather, Simon Phillips, Jed Leiber, Pete Maunu, Vivian Campbell, Buzz Osbourne, Brian Cyzerko and many other friends & musicians. This new version of the trio was by far the best w/the addition of Doug and we are all happy and excited about putting together future dates and plans.

I'd like to thank Garrison at DW for helping me as well as Steve Vega for his help getting my kit together (we had to bring the first drumkit dw made for me several years ago up to their high current standards w/ some new hardware and tunerz etc etc etc!).

For those of you who are interested we have just released the OUT TRIO DVD. Pre order now. The tourdates for Fantomas are now  posted on the site as well.
