| August 6, 2010 - In LA
Well folks, the King of Nowhere has been in LA for the past week. Did a couple of live videos for Blondfire with the fine people of the Wilcox Sessions. I think they're going to look great. Cool bunch of people, those Wilcox Session guys and gals.
We (Erica and I) wrote a new song called Twisted that we've decided to add to the album. So look out for that. Recorded it at TTG/Wax Ltd. Studios. Sounds like a lost Smiths track. My favorite kind of music.
Also just did a live-filmed performance with Tamar Kaprelian at Jack Johnson's studio, Brushfire. Was a cool studio. Very homey. The great, Robert Carranza engineered it. I'm sure it's going to look and sound great.

Here's a little duet I did with a great old Romanian guy on the set of Sleepy Rebel's Magic Girl video...

July 3, 2010 - Fun stuff
Just saw the first edits of the three Sleepy Rebels videos we shot in Romania. They are lookin' great. Can't wait for you to see them. Here's the three rebels (me, Jeremy, and Erica) playing on Happy Hour in Romania with Loredana. It's a song called Rain Rain that Jeremy, Loredana, and I wrote. Check it out.

And here's a clip from the San Francisco show with Tamar of us singing A Whole New World from Aladdin. :-D

May 18, 2010 - Stuff Going On
So a few updates here...
* Stroik's self-titled debut album along with an 8 song EP has been mastered. Mastering Engineer MIke Marsh did a fantastic job. Look him up. He's done a lot of other really great records. And he's not to be confused with Mike Marsh, the drummer for Dashboard Confessional, although ALLMUSIC has them both listed as the same person.
* Was just in LA for about a week. While there I stopped into an Apple store and played A Little Closer To Your Heart on all the new iPads at the same time. It was very futuristic and the staff didn't seem to mind. Lets keep the trend going, if you find yourself bored in an Apple store play A Little Closer To Your Heart by yours truly, The King of Nowhere.
* I'm going to Romania at the beginning of June to do about 2 or 3 videos for my band, Sleepy Rebels. That should be ridiculous. I want to go to Vlad the Impaler's castle. I wish I had Impaler in my name. Maybe I should be the King of Impaling.
* The new Blondfire release is taking longer than we thought it would to wrap it all together. It's worth the wait though - trust me! I'm not sick of it yet and I've been listening to it quite a bit over the past few months.
* Lana Mír, the Ukranian born singer that Andy Chase and I produced an album for has a new e-card. Check it out:
* I'm touring from June 17 - July 16 with Tamar Kaprelian. She's a young, very talented songwriter, signed to Interscope. I played guitar on her album. Check out her music. This is her website:

| March 12, 2010 - Brookville Remix
Just did a remix for Brookville's new Remix EP, Broken Mirrors. It's a really great collection of remixes that aren't the typical "Four on the floor" thing. My remix just got posted on the Brookville facebook page. Check it out HERE.

| March 1, 2010 - Blondfire Mastering and The NeverEndings
Mastering!
- the time you've all been waiting for! Although, probably not
really... I suppose if you're waiting for a time it'll more likely be
when the album comes out OR when
you can hear it. Or maybe it's something totally unrelated, like
you're waiting for a time when you can time travel back and relive the
1990s. Enough about waiting for a time. The time is here my friends.
Okay, and now for something completely different - The NeverEndings is a side-project of Andy Chase and Dominique Durand (Ivy)
I played guitar on it, wrote a couple of songs with them, and even got
to sing on a couple. It's really fantastic stuff. Like Ivy, but maybe somewhat darker and more left of center. The other people playing on the album are Postmarks Jonathan Wilkins and Christopher Moll.
They just posted some songs from the new album, Here & Now, on their myspace. Check it out here. Also check out and be-fan them on their facebook. You will not regret it.
Then
here's the album cover of all album covers (see below). Even if for
some reason you dislike the music (which you wont) you should buy
twelve copies just because this cover is so damn sexy. Alright, wish
me luck at Mastering!
Love, KON
