Last Show In Slovakia!

Our last show in Slovakia will be on February 17 at Hlava22 in Bratisava, opening at 20:00 with Jakub Gabriel. I have decided to move to the US in April and so will have a final show with my great Slovak band and then record the songs we have produced together in March. Come out to the show and look forward to a digital release of new material in April.
Šťastný Nový Rok!

November Show @ HlavaXXII, Bratislava

November's show at HlavaXXII went great. Aside from some technical challenges, the band is getting better and better. Thanks to everyone that came out. Playing in a band is fun, but playing live can be a lot of work. Even if you play the flute, you still have transportation and other worries. Sometimes the whole social event of 'the show' seems to out weigh artistic goals. You may spend more time advertising your show than practicing for it. During this particular show I saw someone singing along with my song "Miss O'Jenny." That was a great "Ah Ha! Art!" moment for me. Thanks.

Grande abraço to Mustafa's friend Michal Jellinek who took some awesome fotos of us. The first thing I thought was, yes, beard is good. The second thing was that I should design a new ZDF website around these fotos. What do you think?

For the first time ever, I posted an entire song from a show to YouTube. It's the Archers Of Loaf cover I do called Web In Front. Thanks to my dad for the tiny organ. I hope some old Archers fans will find this.

ZDF on the radio

Right after SXSW in March I heard that the radio station Radar, in Lisbon, had played part of an interview with me (nathan). I've made some effort to get ZDF on the radio in Slovakia, too. I heard from Mustafa that Rock Jam Radio is playing Cutting Each Word. Check it out it if you like. I assume we are on the "indies" channel with other independent artists like Placebo and The Cure.

Obrigado ao Garrick Van Buren for including us in his 2008 SXSW Showcasing Artist Picks.

    I keep expecting this to be that sappy, overexposed Moldy Peaches track. It’s not. It’s Portuguese. Just that makes it better.

Mind Beam Music

My friend Steve, a.k.a. MindBeamMusic, came down to check out the Bratislava scene. Look forward to some DJ sets from him in the area in the future and hopefully a show with us together!

New Video Clip & Fotos z Cafe Stena

Ďakujem to everyone that came out for the last show. It was fun. I really wish I could play in the rock climbing room while people are scaling the wall!

For those of you who missed it, you can see a short video here or at zedosfrangos.com.
Also, a friend who was at the show took some cool fotos. Check them out at the ZDF Flickr Group.

Next show will on be on the 26th of July at Hlava XXII @ 20h30.
