Sharing the Stage


Gryphon Labs will be sharing the stage with 3 different bands in the month of May!

First, we'll be at The Mint this Friday May 6th with Steel Toed Slippers, a very talented trio of young musicians who love Little Feat and Pink Floyd just about as much as I do. The Mint is a fantastic venue, you can reserve a table and get some food off their awesome menu, or you can just show up and rock out with us. It's only $10 for 2 bands, which is an unbeatable deal for a Friday night in Los Angeles. Steel Toed Slippers start at 8 pm, we go on at 9 pm.

Then, we're heading back to the Central S.A.P.C. in Santa Monica on Saturday May 28th to open for our good friends VOLTO! It's $20 and we'll start around 9 pm, this is an awesome chance to see both Gryphon Labs and the amazing musicians in VOLTO! (featuring Danny Carey from Tool) in a hip, intimate venue. We had so much fun last time, and it was really packed in there, so make sure you get your tickets ahead of time.

Finally, on Tuesday May 31st we'll be back at our second home, The Baked Potato, with fellow Zappa Plays Zappa-er Ben Thomas and his band Wundergroup. Ben's band is incredible, a cool mix of soul and rock music, so don't miss out on this one! It's only $15 and music will start at 8:30 pm.

Other People's Music


After several fun and well-attended Gryphon Labs shows, I'm headed back to the Baked Potato this weekend to play with two other amazing bands. First, this Friday February 26th I'll be back with Cosmosquad, with Jeff Kollman on guitar and Glen Sobel (filling in for Shane Gaalaas) on drums. Last time I played with Jeff I had a blast, and I've played with Glen in lots of different situations and he always sounds great, including on the album version of "Driven To Drink" by Gryphon Labs.
Then, Saturday Feb 27th I'll be playing with VOLTO! again. Danny Carey was sick last time I played with these guys (and Glen filled in for him, too) so I'm really excited to play with all of them again, especially Danny.
So, come check out my double header at the Potato this weekend! Also, get your tickets to see Dweezil Zappa Plays Zappa open for the legendary Jeff Beck on April 17th...
