Dear Friends,
When we recently announced the Ton Up tour many of you voiced your frustration regarding not having announced a Los Angeles show.
I wanted to tell you that LA played a really special role in the creation of my new album Confess which you will hear about as we get closer to the release.
In the meantime I’d like to invite you to an intimate show on June 6th, 2012 at The Masonic Lodge at Hollywood Forever. I’ll be playing new songs from Confess as well as some songs from Forget. Also that night will be special as it’s Wynne Bennett’s AKA Lee Cooper’s Birthday. She’ll be DJing after the show, so stay and hang out.
We are offering a very limited amount of tickets for sale. As you my fans are the reason why I play shows, I’d like to offer you the first chance at tickets before they are officially announced and go on sale later today at 2PM.
In order for everyone to have a fair shot at tickets there is a 2 tickets per household / per person / per credit card purchase limit.

One winter I crashed my motorcycle , with a friend on the back. I shouldn’t have been riding that day, but I was young and fearless of the black roads, fast and easy in my ways. As the bike slipped from under us my head filled with words. The slow motion moments of calm just after surprise and just before regret are bliss. I remember in that moment I wanted to say everything to him. How could I say everything in a split second? How could I bury my words in his heart?
I got a new bike and went to LA to record what is now called Confess, which 4AD will release on July 9th & 10th. I took the bike out at 6AM one morning after not having done much riding in the couple years between Forget and Confess. I noticed my head clearing as I came slowly down a hill where the road around a reservoir began. I pulled back slowly on the throttle with my right hand, and felt the bike start to come to life. My head was still crystal clear…nothing. As I kicked the bike into 3rd, I pulled almost all the way back and jumped forward leaning in towards the gas tank, fighting the wind. I got up to 75 and saw that no one was out but the runners and their four legged friends, the sidewalks became a blur of barking dogs and heads all turning. My mind was empty. I put the bike in 4th and hit 90. The engine jack hammered under my legs. My mind was clear. I inched toward 100 on the speedometer and punch the last five. TON UP! My mind is filled with words. My heart is full of love. This is where i want to be. I want to stay here, and I want to tell you everything.
