Thanks for adding me.
I like your music - “Drift Away” sounds great. Jesse DeNatale really has a way with a song.

Hey Matt! Incredible show last night - Rob's songs/lyrics/chord changes are outstanding, and he has some pretty darned good musicians playing with him as well. :) You should convince him to move out to L.A. and do some more shows; that was the best show I've seen in quite some time!

you sound great bro!
The Dark Bob





Jun 27 2007 7:53 PM

dude...

your work with Kendt is to be praised!

i'm not sure if i like Kendt...but he DOES have a lot of interesting arrangement and structure ideas....

...so his songwriting definately takes the Trap Kit to many places...and YOU are ON IT, DUDE!!!!!! -

You, along with Professor Danny Frankel's percussion and Clint Davidson's bass, make this record a lot of fun to listen to.

with respect and admiration,

The Dark Bob
