I can finally post here! My new band "Stanley Lighthead" is ready to gig! Our music can be found here: https://soundcloud.com/stanleylighthead (Also facebook and twitter) I am really fortunate to have encountered the other guys in the band: David Wright on guitar, Patrick Robinson on drums. We've been coming up with new material at each rehearsal - we just start jamming and usually a new song will pop out! So our first gig will be at Cafe Royale in San Francisco on Wednesday, July 24, 2013 from 9-11 pm. I'll definitely have something Alembic, whether it's the Stanley Clarke 5-string or the AlFeMbic. I'll also be debuting my GK MB-112 II combo amp. | ||

Wow - tonight is the night! Our first public live debut, in San Francisco no less! I think I have my gear ready - fastened my pedals to a new pedalboard, tested it last night, everything appears to be in working order! Looks like I'll be using the AlFemBic and the Gibson Les Paul Triumph as a backup. Excited!!! | ||

The gig went great! My biggest worry was parking but found a place right around the corner from the bar. It's a really chill place to play, people liked us - there weren't that many but the booking guy wants us to play on a Friday or Saturday next - we passed the test! One guy even came up to me after and said, "Did you go to school to learn to play bass like that?" LOL! I used the AlFemBic for the first set - not sure if the recording I made will come out but here's a pic:  By the way, the GK came through with flying colors! More than enough power - I never turned it up past 4, just like in rehearsal. | ||

Unfortunately the recording from Cafe Royale didn't come out - input level set too high. But we do have another gig coming up - this one is outdoors in a small California town called Walnut Grove. Ostensibly "Buddhist music" - my band isn't really Buddhist but I am so I guess that counts? ;) | ||

The outdoor gig went great! It was wicked hot and we didn't have as much time to play as I had hoped but it was still a blast. I have some pics posted at the bottom of my AlFemBic thread - the AlFemBic has become my main bass with this band - but here's a group shot:  | ||
