I had the chance to contribute a song to Almost Halloween Time Records' latest tribute to Bee Thousand. Here is my take on "Awful Bliss." Get your hands on the entire album! The good kids are ordering it on cassette.

The Board of Directors for @chirpradio.org are having a fundraiser. Smash the link below to support the best radio Chicago has to offer! Trust me. You will discover your next favorite band listening to station. It might even be my band!

Plymouth Argyle FC! That’s it. That’s the post.

The Affiliates and I are actually venturing to the suburbs on Tuesday (St. Charles, to be exact). It's your chance to hear a handful of new songs that will be appearing on the next record once we hit the record button. Come on out! 8:30 on a school night. You'll still get to bed on time.

Bandcamp Friday! Gift some music this holiday season. New tunes coming in 2025! philyates.bandcamp.com

Fun show last night with the Affiliates at Reggie’s in Chicago! It was the first voyage onstage with this guitar. I think it’s a keeper.

A lazy Sunday afternoon in Chicago. Albert is not interested in the Da Vinci documentary on PBS. His loss. It’s great!

Next show is at Reggie’s in Chicago on Friday, November 29. See you there! Get your tickets now.

Next show is a solo one in Columbia, SC. See you there!

It's Bandcamp Friday! These tunes would make a great gift for somebody you love or hate. philyates.bandcamp.com

I should post more often on here. This is an attempt to do so.

Here’s hoping James Tarkowski’s knee is OK. There. That’s my first post on here.
