DMC goes international!
We’ll be heading up to Toronto to play some shows during Indie Week Canada as part of the RSL blog’s Outlaw Roadshow. One of the shows is even at the legendary Cameron House, which some folks consider Canada’s CBGB’s. (Having played at CBGB’s back in the late 90’s I’ll let you know!)
We got a little write up in the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel as part of larger coverage on how musicians have responded in the wake what happened in Sherman Park.
Our video for “Used to Be” is being was featured at the Milwaukee Film Festival during an evening dedicated to music and film partnerships.
Here’s a video feature on the directors Jessica and Quinn, who did such an amazing job and made us feel like family.

We did one of these last year in Milwaukee and it was fun but not nearly as epic as the Indianapolis version. A flash flood rolled through Broadripple about 2 hours before the show. Power was out and it seemed like we’d have to cancel but thankfully everything sorted itself out in time for a great show. Plus, I got to see some family which was a bonus. I’m that Uncle who is also a rock star, haha!

DMC is packing up the van, grabbing some snacks and heading out for a quick 10 days around the Midwest.
Don’t worry about preseason football or the impending end of this gorgeous Summer, just come out and see us and have some fun!
For a purpose yet unknown
But the bullets they were thrown
Starting up a fire in Milwaukee
Gasoline is burning bright
Silhouettes run in the light
And your heart breaks in two for another
Another mother sits at home
She is waiting all alone
Cause her boys not coming home tonight
They say “he had a gun”
They ask “why did he run?”
Driving with a stolen gun Milwaukee
But its really not the case
When the law gives to the chase
Is it Judge, Jury, and Execution in Milwaukee?
Gasoline is burning bright
Silhouettes run in the light
And your heart breaks in two for another
Another mother sits at home
She is waiting all alone
Cause her boys not coming home tonight
Gasoline is burning bright
Silhouettes run in the light
And your heart breaks in two for another
Another mother sits at home
She is waiting all alone
Cause her boys not coming home tonight
Cause her boys not coming home tonight
Why’s her boy not coming home tonight?
It’s Alive! haha

After about a year of various sessions and a single release last year of “Summertime”, this release is ready for the world. It was an honor to join Victor DeLorenzo, Janet Schiff, Rob Wasserman, Monia and more special guests by contributing drum set and percussion to this release. If time and venues permit, I may even get to join V & J onstage in the future to play some of these tunes live!.
We shot this beauty last year on a warm Summer day and it’s only fitting that we release it today and give Spring a little boost. This is the lead track off of our new release entitled ” Fuel the Lights” which will be out in June.
You can view the video and download the digital single via our Bandcamp page.
It’s that time of year and we’re off to Anaheim. I’ll be in SoCal from Wednesday through Sunday so I hope to see some old friends and make some new ones. If you see me, say hi!
