From A Sea Of Salt To A Sea Of Zombies. Issue #108

Where to begin?

First off, today the Free KIRBY KRACKLE Summer-Single, "Ring Capacity" drops so if you would like a copy head over to www.kirbykracklemusic.com and sign up to snag yours!

We'll also be featured this week on www.comicbookresources.com which is the biggest comic book site on the internets! We did a fun interview regarding the album, the new giveaway single and it should be on the front page over next few days. Keep checking...


On July 1st, KK will be featured in SEATTLE SOUND Magazine as an example of the ever-growing genre of "Geek Rock". The photo shoot was a blast and I'll post some photos once they come out next week. I haven't even read it yet, but Jim and I are really excited as it's the first "print media" coverage we've received. Only in 2009 would you say that...


In the last of the KK news for this week, I'll be performing "Zombie Apocalypse" at the Fremont Annual ZOMBIE WALK as the group tries to break the World Record for Biggest Zombie Walk Ever! What does that mean? Well imagine 2000+ people dressed like Zombies and when someone says go they all start walking and moaning around Fremont in mass...it's gonna be awesome! I'm literally losing sleep being excited about the fun surrealism of it all and hopefully when I'm 90 I'll be able to say I rocked a sea of Zombies with my Ukulele. Too Crazy...




Last week Mandi and I set off for Hawaii for my sister Deirdre's destination wedding to her fiance Josh. It was the first time my extended family (grandparents/aunts/cousins) had ever taken a vacation together in my whole life and it was so nice. The wedding was extremely beautiful/Fairy Tale-esque, and the performance of their wedding song went great despite the fact I couldn't look at anyone during it because I would more than likely cry. Crying while singing = UGLY. I thought I was gonna be ok until she and my Dad walked down the isle and then oh man...




While I was there I also had my share of Longboard Lager, got some good wave time in on the board, and wrestled my little brother as much as I could. Upon returning I realized that #1: I don't want to wear pants anymore, and #2: I need to get a pool STAT. Sadly, I don't think either of those things are gonna happen in the near future so I guess I'll just have to head back sooner rather than later! Fred Meyer does have the kiddie pools though...




I don't intend to end this entry on a downer, but I wanted to clear up some confusion and questions that seem to be going around regarding why COLLIDER was replaced by KK for the July 17th Showbox (Market) show. A few weeks ago, Collider disbanded after we all decided that our end goal wasn't the same among other reasons. As with any relationship ending it's a coagulated mix of complexities that I won't go into here, but I more than anything want to thank everyone for supporting the band during it's two-year tenure. It's really bizarre that we just released our album, but that's the way it goes sometimes. I hope that clears some questions up and though the band is no longer together, I hope you continue to enjoy the album we worked so hard on for the past year and a half. :)

Mahalo!
