Hey all! Happy 2010!
I’d like to let you know that I’m playing a solo show next Thursday at Alberta St. Pub.
I’ll be debuting new songs and performing old favorites in novel ways!
Also appearing: the fantastic Quality Shine, who play rollicking old time and jugband tunes!
Don’t miss it!

I hope you enjoy them!

Just a quick update: We have slightly altered our band name.
We are now Dr. Something & the Pipin’ Hot Love Engines instead of the Poppin’ Fresh Love Engines.
We feel that this name retains the general ridiculousness of the original while avoiding any erroneous appearance of a Pillsbury endorsement, as well as any cease and desist letters from them. (Apparently they’ve trademarked the phrase ‘Poppin’ Fresh.’)
Hello all, I have great news!
Dr. Something & the Poppin’ Fresh Love Engines are back in action, and next month we are playing our first show since going on hiatus. We’ll be playing with the holiday extravaganza known as Pokey Twig and the Yuletide Kindling (of which we are also all members) on Saturday December 19th.
Here are all the details:
Sat. December 19th

Hi millions of people who will inevitably read this exceedingly important blog,
As we teeter upon the precipice at the edge of 2008, staring into the unknown but beautiful chasm of 2009, I would like to let you know about the current and future plans of myself and the Poppin’ Fresh Love Engines. We will be working on recording our first legitimate album this coming month, tentatively named Praise and Supplication to the Benevolent Space Robots or Brevity is Not Necessarily the Soul of Wit. The actual release date is currently unknown and will primarily hinge upon the discovery of a box of money, or the emergence of a benefactor with questionable taste in art and music.
Around mid-February, I will be leaving town but shall return by the end of May. We are hoping to play a live public show before my departure. I will hopefully be playing some shows in New Orleans in these coming months, and the entire band will emerge from the depths of hiatus this summer to provide live entertainment to the people of Portland, and perhaps other Pacific cities.

I had the good fortune to be chosen to do a special solo performance as part of the Portland Mercury’s annual Pizzazz talent show a couple Fridays ago. You can check out a video of the spectacle here:
It was a really fun show to be a part of, and a great mix of talent and silliness. The only drawback was that I couldn’t watch the performances from backstage. For links to all the fantastically ridiculous performances check out this page
I made a video for our song “Cheating on You with Your Robot Double”:
