We’re playing this here show with the lovely guys who call themselves Superbomb. They’re on at 7pm. We’re on at 8pm. It’s early like that. Then, let’s get a drink and get to know each other better. – Gabe
Hey, my birthday’s just around the corner. I was not born in the good graces of the Gregorian calendar. January 3rd in Michigan is rather inhospitable. It’s cold and everyone’s holiday serotonin levels have crashed.
However, the good folks at my favorite DJ night, Tuesdays In The Forest, know how to make me feel special. They have invited me to spin some records with the imitable Awesome Dave Lawson. I’ll also play some music ’cause I love to sing songs. Carey G (and maybe a rad colleague) will sling drinks with great friendliness. I’d love for you to stop by The Loving Touch (Ferndale MI). It’s gonna be a lovely time. – Gabe
Here’s a short called “Puppet Love” by Taryn Shick. I’m posting it here because I “scored” it. I’m using quotation marks because what I really did was watch the video and play guitar. Call it what you will. – Gabe

Hey gang,
I’m not gonna lie to you. I’m bad at this blogging business. I’ll try to post more. Promise. Exemplifying my hesitance to blog, here’s a video from 7 months ago. It turned out to be my sister’s last show in the live lineup; so, it seems fitting that she and Leann are singing this one. Later, skaters. – Gabe
Old Empire – Everly – Live at the G of C Lounge 3/5/11 from Courtney Hermon-Taylor on Vimeo.
Her name is Leann Banks. She plays bass and sings. She is a rad player and an awesome person. Alexis, Dan, Dave and I are really excited about it. Look out!
and we want the world to know it! Hour Detroit did a piece called Rocker Recipes in their August issue. I submitted a recipe for skirt steak and cousa squash tacos. I made them when Mark, the writer, came by. Dan took a picture. Check it out. – Gabe
…as in Old Empire is going through them now. Ace bassist Tom James has moved on and we wish him the best. We are currently searching for someone who can fill the rather large empty shoes in the room. Have no fear, OE will be restocked and rejuvenated soon!
Please welcome Mr. Dave Knepp as the newest member of Old Empire. Dave is a Detroit rock scene veteran having played drums for many bands including The Sights, Mitch Ryder and most recently 750cc Moto Music. We are happy to have Dave aboard and we are working hard to get back on stage soon.
