Steve and Malcolm Rollick improv'd together rather magically at one of her shows, and the song, "Don't Stop Reading Me the News" is on her myspace page if you click on her name, 30 words ago.

Steve also plays piano on songs at the myspace page of: Tom Warnick and the World's Fair, a great band. (Tom is the guitarist on "Bumbling Along.") Steve was a longtime member of the magical, fondly remembered Dan Emery Mystery Band.

A bit of a band slut, Steve has also played keys and/or electric tennis racket on NYC gigs and/or recordings of The Moldy Peaches ("Jorge Regula"), Sport Murphy, Peter Dizozza, Debby Schwartz, Dan Fishback, cub, and Lisa Marr, and Dallam Dougou, to name a mere few.

   About Steve Espinola
I have a fetish for discarded sound technologies and discarded conceptions of rhythm. I do my best to be good to people, including myself. Sometimes I succeed, sometimes I fail. I have not yet made friends with Time. I tend to spread myself thin.

It is rumored that I am the subject of the Moldy Peaches' song "Jorge Regula." I played keyboards on the recording of the song.

I started an online community for record cutting deviants called The Secret Society of Lathe Trolls. It has developed a life of its own and mostly I act as the janitor.

Right now I am working with a bunch of people in my neighborhood & we are fighting against a corrupt skyscraper/arena project. http://www.dddb.net

I am hungry.

If you want to add me, write me a note, or I may assume you are spam. I don't like spam, but I do like real people.

Outer space is a pleasant place
A place where you can be free
There's no limit to the things you can do
Your thought is free and your life is worthwhile
Space is the place

thanx for joining
