A short while ago, I posted that the Fricatives ( Carli and I) played House of Abundance’s 10th Anniversary open mic , but I didn’t include video or photos, since none had surfaced. Since then, they have. While this isn’t Kervin’s video—keep an eye out for that in another post—I figured I’d share these sooner. The Fricatives @ House of Abundance 2026-04-18

Paralyzed live at Peroxide Studio Back in January, Adam LaGreca and the band, along with some of our musician friends, set up in Carli Van Voorhis’s Peroxide Studio and recorded a song we’ve been working on called “Paralyzed.” It’s a hypnotic, almost dirge-like repetition that swirls and builds on itself. I think it suits these chaotic, parsimonious, treacherous times quite fine. Personnel Main…

It was a cozy, intimate little set, and I’m glad I got the opportunity to play. (Adam’s all better now!)…
