Don’t forget…

Last April the new album of Moe Staiano’s SURPLUS 1980 COLLECTIV ENSEMBL was released on Musique à la Coque… “Forget All This” features vocals and lyrics by yours truly.
In August we will play two shows in California USA: on the 23rd at The Uptown in Oakland, and on the on the 24th at Bottom Of The Hill in San Francisco.

In August, from the 1st till the 18th, ACTION BEAT and I will be touring the Westcoast of the USA.

I recorded two songs together with Howie Reeve for his new vinyl album “Cracks”. The songs, “When I Hear/Alina Ann Elena” are also available as a digital download single on Tractor Notown (cat.no. OWN 01) via gwsok.bandcamp.com.

In September I will be recording a new album with Nicolas Lafourest (guitar) and Olivier Mellano (guitar) as CODDIWOMPLE.
