it was a pretty intense last couple of weeks, but fun nonetheless.

as you might have heard, i spent the last month playing keys for Muse: their keyboard player, Morgan, was having a baby and needed to take a break, so i was called in…it was great to be able to play with them and everyone was very cool.

I ended up playing a show in Paris (beautiful venue!), Berlin, NYC (for the VMAs) and a few TV shows (Taratata in france, and Jools Holland in the UK).

Jetlag is at an all time high…which is why i decided to get back to making music right away…this is what’s on the menu for the near future:

new modwheelmood

more blindoldfreak recordings: a new album should be ready and out by the end of the year.

for now, you can take a listen to a few of the first recordings i made on the 200e here

also,

more updates, more regularly. ok, yes!

Oh..

my first recording , 1, is out digitally on iTunes and Amazon.

I hope you enjoy it.

Vorrei dedicare questo lavoro a mio nonno, Orazio.

grazie per esserti preso cura di me e della mia famiglia  e per essere stato sempre un punto di riferimento nella mia vita.

mi manchi.

I’d like to thank the wonderful artists and people i met during this trip: Hugues D’Amour, Frederic Filteau, Gabriel Duceppe and the Duceppe family, Zoe…Thank you for making me feel welcome and for making my stay in Canada pleasant.

I am looking forward to seeing you all again in the near future!

Ps. merch and cds are sold out.

more merch coming soon.

the CD will get its digital release in 10 days, on february 20.

“2″ coming soon too!

for those who asked:

-yes , Blindoldfreak “1″ is coming out digitally and it’s available on CD in limited quantities at shows.To be exact, i made 100 unique copies.

There might be a second edition in the future, but i will most likely release new stuff first.

Regardless,It should be available on most digital stores by the end of February.

- I will be playing at the Knitting Factory LA in March, with CyrusRex

-I have t shirts and CDs for sale at the Canadian shows.

Anything that doesn’t sell by the end of this tour will be available at any other show i am gonna play(i.e. KFLA), while supplies last.

Slowly thinking about setting up a webstore, but it’ll take a while…

thanks to everybody who came to the shows and stopped by to say hi. You made my cold canadian days a lot more bearable!

3 shows left, then back to the sun….ooohhh.
