I heard that you played with Gnarls Barkley.

Is that true?

For a minute. I put the original band together in early '06: Background vocals, string quartet, full rhythm section, etc. We rehearsed intensely and put together the whole show, including some ambitious programming and ProTools action. I did their first ever gig at The Roxy in LA, then played Coachella in April '06. At that point, I left, and handed over my job to Cedric (formerly of Remy Zero, also tours with Alanis). That's when production rehearsals (and puppets :-)) began for Beck's "The Information" album and tour cycle.

How was it working with Danger Mouse and Cee-Lo Green?

They are cool dudes. Cee-Lo is a very gracious, kind man with a golden voice. Danger (Brian) is a very sweet, thoughtful, sharp guy. A very deep musicologist, with great taste.

That's awesome dude!

Wow. I saw them at the Bowery in NYC on their first tour, and they blew me away. You put together a hell of a band. Plus the fact that they came out in full 80's regalia playing "The Final Countdown" didn't hurt either.

Wow. That's awesome. I'm glad you have a little forum section. I had never heard your name before, but now I see that you've worked on some of the music I appreciate the most - Tori Amos and Gnarls Barkley.
