33rd Set, September 2009

As I predicted, TWITPIC has more or less taken over blogspot/photo-posting. It kind of sucks, because now essentially EVERYONE has a LOFI blog - but I started doing this shit a couple years ago. I guess I had the right idea artistically but I did not capitalize on it and make it easy for everyone else. But that's okay.

Enjoy this new set of photos, as it has been a couple months since I've posted on here. A couple of these you may have seen on my TWITPIC, but a bunch of fresh ones in here for the most part.

To the top!

32nd Set, July 2009

Shit is wild in the world, son. I think this particular set has a nice bookend feeling to it. You know? It's funny it's only been 32 sets, it feels like a lot more. I guess it's because I take a lot more picture than I post up. I've been putting up a lot of these now on TWITPIC as I take them -- www.twitter.com/realivanives

If you haven't listened to NEWSPEAK yet, you should check iTunes out and give it a spin. I have some other updates for you soon. Remember you can download 2 of my releases for free at nothresholdrecords.com. Be well.

Well, NEWSPEAK has arrived!!! Thanks to everyone that supported and bought it up on iTunes when it dropped; mad love for that. Thank you.

What's next? Well, let's just let NEWSPEAK ride out for a bit, enjoy the tracks and the videos, and the upcoming videos :)

After that, you KNOW I already have some tricks up my sleeve, ready to go!!

These photos are from home, and some misc tour stops I've been on in Portland Norcal Seattle etc etc etc. Enjoy!

30th Set, April 2009

Things have been pretty busy, sorry I haven't hit you with much LOFI lately.

The Villain video has been released, and I must say it's stirring up some chaos in this piece. Thank you to those that love it and an even bigger thank you to those that hate it. It just got featured on Yahoo!MUSIC's "New Videos" front page, which is pretty awesome if you ask me.

Being featured on Yahoo! nowadays is like maybe being featured on MTV2 back in 2003, so it's a pretty great step in the right direction. I think I heard something about MTV making a new channel that shows videos again, but not sure.

Anyway, check out the Villain video here if you haven't already:

In other news, NEWSPEAK is being released on 05.19.09!!! It'll be available for pre-sale @ nothresholdrecords.com very soon... and of course the Villain single is available on iTunes, amazonMP3, and a bunch of other websites. Go check it out and support.

I have a show @ the USC springfest this Saturday, and then some shit in Portland and Humboldt in April (The Oregon Convention Center May 15-17 & The Red Fox on May 29). Stop by my MySpace page and say whatup; call me old-fashioned but that's still the social networking site of choice for me. Get at me.

And look out for the new Noci album, coming out on No Threshold Records. He is the first artist in an all-new roster line-up we have coming to NTR!!!

NEWSPEAK : MAY 19, 2009. PREPARE!!!

29th Set, February 2009

Whats good! It's 2009. NEWSPEAK is just around the corner... it's finally wrapping up, so we're looking at a late spring release. Had to take a little extra time with this one, had to embrace it and give it the attention it deserves. A lot of great people worked on the album with me. You will soon find out who they are.

In the meantime, enjoy a few photos from my recent journeys...

Stay on top of checking my MySpace for new stuff... you wouldn't want to miss anything!
