…Happy New Year. Sorry you didn’t get an update last week. I couldn’t find the update tab on the Pledge Music site. I’m an idiot. 1) This week’s selection from the Golden Days soundtrack features the four original Damnwellian perpetrators in their Brooklyn best. Recorded in different parts of what we referred to as The [...]

December 19, 2010 Hello from a Chicago Sunday morning. We played the Double Door last night. It was a great one. Jennifer Hall, an amazing singer and songwriter, came up for a few songs to lend her beautiful voice for some three-part harmonies on Golden Days, Werewolves, and Feast of Hearts. Our pal Pat Sansone [...]
December 11, 2010 Angela and I have just returned from the last solo show of the year. We had a great time on this leg. Courtney Kaiser (of Kaiser Cartel) opened each night. She is AMAZING. We sang a bunch of songs together. She and Angela put some brilliant three-part harmonies together. You can check [...]
Help us make records and save lives, for real.
Friends,
First, thanks to all of you who have downloaded and continue to download our record, One Last Century. It’s been a great experience for us to be able to connect directly with our fans, as well as make some new ones. Thank you all for your continued support. Consider One Last Century as our gift to you, though really it’s just payback for all the great support you’ve given us over the years.
As we embark on a new recording project, we need to ask for your help. Bands rely on their fans. You’re the people who come to the shows, buy us drinks, sing along, and make us feel pretty. The Damnwells need to take that one step further. Don’t worry; you can keep your clothes on (for now, anyway). What we need is your help in making our next record. We’ve recently partnered up with Pledge Music, an organization that helps independent bands raise the money necessary to make records. What’s so great about Pledge is that not only do they help independent bands get their records made, they also donate 10% of the money tallied to charity.
I’ve been a performer and entertainer all my life. My first gig was in the living room sometime in the 1980s, my big sister as co-star. We made short plays, usually around Christmas—a confusing time in a house straddling the Judeo-Christian fault line, with my father, the comedic Jew, and my mother, the reluctant Catholic. [...]
People of Earth, Merchandise! Merchandise! Now that you’ve downloaded The Damnwells’ new record One Last Century for free, go buy a f-ing t-shirt! No, for real, check out the new Damnwells merch store. We’ve got some new t-shirts and, for those of you who would like a physical copy of the new record, we’ve got [...]
Back in Los Angeles for the first time in eight months. It didn’t feel like Los Angeles. Los Angeles. It even sounds like a mystery, a mistake from my lips. And now I’m starting to think that the Los Angeles I lived in was solely in my mind; a massively fragmented volume of blues. Never [...]
