He did some gigs with the Inner Orchestra, and I did some gigs with his band, Arcoda. He has a great new album out, Doubt Is For Losers, a sprawling stew of rock (orchestral/pop/hard/hippie/funk/etc.) And my friend Taka from the Hot Tamale Brass Band plays tuba on the album. I’ve probably listened to it twelve times in the last three days (yes, I’ve spent a lot of time in my car), and I like it more and more. Congratulations, Pete!

I used to like Ryan’s solo shows better than with his band, but the band sounds amazing on his new album, Patience on Friday. Definitely his best yet- been listening to it for two weeks solid.
