the Cyber-dreads have been flowing pretty long lately, which is code for: i've been doing lots of interviews lately! Check out one I just did with DJ Dona on WNYU's Crucial Chaos by clicking on this sentence. And keep a lookout for some lengthy print interviews (printerviews?) in Impose, Altered Zones, etc etc etc

Hubble Drums comes out in a few days, can't wait!!! All you NYCers be sure to come to the RELEASE PARTY on SATURDAY NOVEMBER 19TH at 285 KENT. And if that aint enough, come check me out the week after at Cameo Gallery for a JVCD Presents exxxtravaganza night that will likely provoke involuntary hallucinations amongst even the most tight-laced square-faced of audience members. it'll be Pynchonian, truly.

2011-10-02T13:15:00.000-07:00

i played two shows yesterday, and i'm playing another tonight (10/2) at Zebulon. it's free, and at the best bar in town, so you should all come. Hubble Drums doesn't come out til November 8th but there will be copies of the vinyl and cd (like 40 or something) available tonight. if you can't make it, i think you can pre-order from the Northern Spy Website

KOTO - Visitors (Hubble Edit)

2011-01-23T13:42:00.000-08:00

First things first, I am very excited to announce that the first Hubble release will be available in a few short weeks courtesy of the fine folks over at NNA Tapes! "Hubble Linger" is a 60-minute reflection on hope, loss and reconciliation and I am proud to offer it as my first physical work. I'll have the artwork up soon.

West Coasters! March 4th is the date and The Berkeley Art Museum is the location for my first ever quadraphonic Hubble performance, "Hubble Superposition". Usually I perform in stereo, with two separate signals coming out of two separate amplifiers, but the rig I've designed for "Hubble Superposition" will allow my guitar to be split into four separate signals which will then be routed through four separate amplifiers, true quadraphony! How does it work, you ask? Here's a little diagram that should explain everything:

I'm starting to get stoked on 2011. Stay tuned for awesome news about upcoming Hubble releases and keep yer little eyes peeled on that list of shows to the left.

Also, BIG ASS UPS to Angel Deradoorian for including Hubble in her top 10 of 2010, and to Chris Weingarten for including Zs and a bunch of other Python Patrol productions on his best of 2010 mixtape, yeaow!

Uploaded some new tracks to the Soundcloud, here's Hubble Ward:

Happy times to all of you out there in the land of 1s and 0s

Keep an eye on the SHOWS tab to the left, I'm always looking to play! More west coast dates and maybe even proper tourdates to/from Texas to come!

As always, please feel free to get in touch.

T.J. Lawrence - Illuminations (Eagle Records, 1985)

This record is pretty hard to find, so I wanted to make it available. I don't know anything about Tim Lawrence, but I am glad that his un-ironic big glasses wearing music is a part of my life. A scorcher, but subtly so.

Enjoy, yo
