Hi. I'm an Albany NY underground arts web site. I coulda been big. But people moved away, got married, went to grad school, had kids. So now I'm just one guy with a camera. And an archive. And YOU.
Happy New Year, hiddencity! C'mon out to Tess' Lark Tavern for Open Mic! Still hosting music, comedy, poetry and more every Wednesday. Peace in 2007, MotherJudge

Songs From A Van is my debut self-release. I recorded the entire thing inside the van I've been living in for the past 2 years (on the album cover). I resorted to hitting the van for percussion, using glass bottles filled with my own piss for yet more percussion, and the theft of electricity from a myriad of sources- and got caught a few times, too. It's an intense labor of love, I took aim at the mid/late 60's musical groups I appreciate (see influences/sounds like), it's gotten some nice press and acclaim, I'm on tour in it right now!
