WHAT GOES ON

Playing at a party this Friday at the architecturally bravura home of my friend and gifted sculptor John Powers. If you're interested in coming, email me for details.

Also, working steadily on a new album. Writing, recording, preproducing, rewriting, rerecording, repreproducing, trying to make it the best it can be, with the invaluable help of comrade Steve Shelley, who will harvest the fruits for his smells like records label. Want to finish soon, but not too. Keep in touch and I'll keep you posted.

SOME ONLINE ACTIONS

I've finally, reluctantly, setup a Myspace.com page, even though I am thoroughly creeped out by this new medium. Knock yourself out at:
http://www.myspace.com/chrisleeplaysandsings.

Only some older lp cuts up now but may find the time and will to upload some newer, unreleased stuff and/or random obscurities.

On a more positive note, you can listen to and download The Sands demos at the website of our erstwhile leader Sasha Frere-Jones. I had the pleasure of contributing vocals to a large majority of them.

WILDLY TALENTED INDIVIDUALS I'M PROUD TO CALL FRIENDS

My pal the writer, performer, radio artiste, golf guru and Los Angelite Charlie Schroeder has a great new website, which you should investigate. I suggest starting here, with "Bush vs. Kerry", featuring Charlie and another buddy, the mighty Steve Bodow of Elevator Repair Service and Jon Stewart Show fame.

Have you seen Sweeney Todd? My friend Michael Cerveris plays the lead in this amazing new version of an amazing show. The story is a classic twist on the McTeague-barber-surgeon-killer-cannibal myth we all know and love and drawn on by countless writers from Frank Norris to Brecht and it's text is as rich as the best Dickens -- a pure slice of grisly Victoriana.

I can't recommend it enough if you have the money to burn and are at all interested in a non-cheesy Broadway musical. Sondheim's score is stunning and, most remarkably, the cast plays the music themselves in addition to singing and acting. Read more here. Or check on tickets.
