Cornbread

Picture this: freshly baked cornbread, almond herbal tea, green carpet strewn with papers, clothes, ideas, loss, hope, denial, redemption, happiness, peace and serenity. Sometimes I feel like I'm the luckiest person alive and I don't particularly know why. I'm not rich or particularly stunning in any way, I don't have everything a person could wish for or want in a lifetime, I'm not enlightened or free of pain and suffering, I'm totally exhausted all the time. But I just feel like of all the things I could be doing, of all the people I could be, I'm really happy that I ended up here, doing this and being me. And I'm really thankful to all of you for being a part of this journey with me.

I've lost so many people in this lifetime, both literally and figuratively, we all have, such is life, but I just feel like there is a piece of each and every one of you in every single thing I do, and without you I could never have ended up like this. Cheesy- yes. True- also yes.

I love you guys. Thank you for sharing this existence with me. Hold my hand- smile, it's all gonna be okay.

October 20th @ Trash Bar

Wow. 1AM. When was the last time we played 1AM on a Tuesday? God, I don’t even know! It was a terrible time slot, but it just goes to show that I have the best friends in the whole entire world because you guys came out to see us anyway. Thank you!!! We had such a great time!!!

I was in Havertown Tuesday morning and my first patient was at 9am. My last one was at 6pm and I left by 8pm. Cruising along the Jersey Turnpike, listening to the set, trying to learn the words to some new songs we’re working on, thinking about everything under the sun, it was nice. Thankfully I got to Brooklyn with enough time to unload the car and breathe. But no shower or make-up for me! I was surprised that I wasn’t more exhausted. I thought for sure I was going to have to down some caffeine to make that show happen, but it turns out I was fine.

I was really pleased with everything- the sound was great, the crowd was great (again- I heart you guys so much, heart!) and you know I love Trash Bar more than anything. It was actually probably my favorite show of the year! And other than my chord breaking halfway through the set, I’m sorry to say I don’t have more to report, except it was one of those things, you just had to be there.

We’re actually taking a little break from shows though at the moment so we can work on our next recording, (that’s right!) December 4th at Trash Bar we’re playing the annual Stewart Holiday Party (our last show of the year) with our good friends No Shoes, No Shirt, No Dice, featuring some of our favorite people: Ryan D’Angelo on guitar, Green Andy on vocals and Mark Hugo on bass. As usual there will be an open bar from 8-9 and free pizza provided by me just as a little thank you to all my friends for being so sweet and supportive through the years. I love you guys.

Until next time!

Set List:
-This Happens
-Consider Me Gone
-Dance With Me
-Ride The Wave
-Gone
-3AM
-Goodbye
-Aloof
-Stuck in My Head

September 25th @ Toquet Hall

I love playing in general, the more the merrier, bring it! ☺ What I did not love is that it took me 3 hours to get from Brooklyn to Manhattan (lucky for me I thought leaving at 3pm was way more than enough time,) and then another 2 hours to get to Connecticut. Screw you google maps! 2 hours and 10 minutes in traffic my ass! John took the train up because he had to work, and I picked up Kevin because he had the drums.

Despite the traffic it was a really nice drive, gorgeous day, good company. I don’t really remember the last time I was in Connecticut for something other than driving through. I think it may have been that Bouncing Souls show that John and I tried to go to at Toad’s in New Haven and we showed up about 3 songs away from the end. Oops! My bad.

Anyway, it was kind-of weird being back in Connecticut. That place was home to me for so long- I used to know every exit, every town, every back road, and it’s just so pretty with all the trees and the winding roads, I don’t know if I’ve ever been anywhere else like it. It triggered all KINDS of crazy memories of all kinds of crazy things I had forgotten from my childhood. Good in some ways, but definitely weird.

I was very proud of myself because after we finally found the place, I was able to navigate back to the train to get John and back to the teen center again, no problem. It was awesome! Toquet Hall is huge! Although I guess if you’re used to playing in New York everywhere seems huge. But it was a really great place- huge stage, nice sound system, pool table, foosball, snack/coffee shop- it reminded me exactly of Katie’s old coffee house that she used to run at Hawley Elementary School where my old high school band Tim used to play. It was AWESOME.

We started playing about 15 minutes after we showed up because we were so late. I don’t even remember the set because we didn’t even write anything down, we just started calling out songs until we ran out of stuff that we had practiced. It was so much fun, and everyone was so great hanging out and dancing. I told the director that we’d love to come back sometime if they ever have any openings, so keep your eyes peeled Westport! We’ll be back in no time!

Set List:
-Dark Side
-Consider Me Gone
-Ride the Wave
-This Happens
-Dance With Me
-Use Somebody
-Guiltless
-Stuck in My Head

September 24th @ Fontana’s

For all those who know me, I am a laughing stock among musicians because I know nothing about music. Nothing. I mean, I’m definitely better than I was. I can pick out Rolling Stones songs now, among other things, even though last night I did think that Jimi Hendrix was Led Zeppelin before quickly realizing my mistake. But for this reason, trivia has never really been a strong suit of mine, hence I’ve never really been into trivia nights. I get it- it’s fun, but not when you don’t know ANYTHING about the subject matter. Just saying.

So when John and I pulled up in front of Fontana’s to unload and my old friend Todd happened to be smoking outside because he was running his Rock Trivia night inside, I was excited to see him but not really stoked about the game. But you know, thinking maybe 3 years is a long enough time for things to change I decided to take a crack at it. John and I sat down with some drinks, my buddy Sean came in shortly thereafter, and then Donna joined us, for apparently the most kick ass trivia team of all time! We joined in 3 rounds late and only played 2 games and came in third! Go Team Stewart! Now, I’m not sure if that says more about us, or more about the other players, but it was pretty awesome, I have to say. Even though John and Sean got most of the answers, I got one (and Indigo Girls question. Yes- yes, I know,) so I helped.

Turns out two of the other bands of the night canceled, so still bouncing from our triumphant trivia win, we decided to play an extra long set. Awesome! So many people came, you guys are great, and it was so nice to see everybody dancing and having a good time. It was a very special night because we premiered a song by our good friend Jim Behrle called “Aloof.” He wrote it, posted it on youtube, we loved it and decided to put the music behind it- we practiced it maybe 4 times the night before and then Jim joined us on stage for it’s first glorious showing. Big hand everybody- Jim did a great job! (Feel free to check it out on our youtube channel.)

All in all it was a really fun night and I had a great time with each and every single one of you. Thanks for hanging out with me after. Next time we’ll play some pool too.

Set List:
-Dark Side
-Consider Me Gone
-Why Bother
-Ride the Wave
-3AM
-Gone
-Use Somebody
-Goodbye
-Destiny
-Aloof
-Longest Time

Another glorious day

When did life get so busy? I mean, I guess it always has been, but lately it feels like I'm on fire! In a good way, although it's hard to imagine such a thing feeling good.

Gosh, I don't even know where to start. I guess the best place to start is by starting over. I'm still in the process of updating everything, but for the moment most of the online activity is happening here:

www.stewarttheband.com
facebook.com/stewarttheband
youtube.com/stewarttheband
myspace.com/stewarttheband
twitter.com/stewarttheband

Let me explain my thinking on these guys.

1. Stewarttheband is just a place holder for the moment to find everything: blog, videos, music, shows, tweets, mailing list (which is new- if you have signed up for the Stewart mailing list in the past, you may not still be on it, so if you'd like to know what's going on, but don't feel like checking all these other places, feel free to add yourself back on there.)

2. Facebook is where I'm trying to keep the major news- interviews, videos posted, new music, new shows, but just the basics.

3. Youtube = obvious. You want a video, you go there. I'm in the process of moving everything over from our old account.

4. Myspace I'm mostly using for the music player, the show calendar, and the post show blogs. But not much else. I send out updates when it's close to time for a show, but I don't do much else with it these days.

5. Twitter I update from my phone when I'm out, mostly to annoy John, but also just for silly things like the fact that the International Pickle Festival was crazy crowded.

And this blog is for me to ramble on and on and on like I do for anyone who cares enough to listen. I don't always have a lot to say about Stewart, but I generally have a lot to say about almost anything.

And there you have it! The new Stewart empire.

Stay tuned for new shows, new songs and new recordings- it's all gonna happen SO fast!!!

When it rains it pours-

I would write about all the stuff going on, but it's late and I haven't been sleeping and John and I have to work tomorrow- so I will say more hopefully soon. I just wanted to let everyone know I'm getting everything all back up and running, and we're playing CMJ!!!

For details, please check out our facebook page:

August 30th @ Trash Bar

Beloved Trash Bar, oh how I missed thee!

You know- I've played at like, at least 30 places in my life, right? Probably more, and no matter how many different shows we do and how many different places we play, Trash Bar remains my very favoritest. Yes, I know favoritest isn't a word, but it should be, if only so I can use it for the Trash Bar.

Ryan beat us to it and was in the back room setting up his hardware when we waltzed in. It was around 9pm and the music hadn't even started yet, so we decided to grab some beer and play some pool. Some nice pre-show chillin with the boys and girls out front before what would be the second longest Stewart set in the history of the band.

YES! We played for like, 35 minutes, UNHEARD OF! And, get this, the fun part is that these past few weeks were really busy with concerts and social outings and such, and scheduling was difficult so we ended up just playing on the fly. No practice necessary! I think it went okay, how about you guys? Did you notice? I shouldn't have said anything...

Thank you all so much for coming out- I've missed everybody so much and it means the world to me to see you all there, even if when I'm on stage I can't actually see you there.

We're back, so stay tuned! We've got another show coming up September 24th at 9pm at Fontana's (YES we're playing in MANHATTAN for the first time in forever) and there are several more shows in the works. I love you guys. Thank you for bringing so much light into my life.

Set List:
-Ride The Wave
-This Happens
-Don't Look Back
-Goodbye
-Why Bother

All Our Best Friends Are Illustrators (New Song Up!)

I put up a new song! Did anyone notice? :)

My friend Jacob Chabot has a comic called "The Mighty Skullboy Army," which everyone should check out if they haven't already, it's AWESOME! And one day a long time ago I was like, "Jacob, I'm going to write a theme song for Skullboy," and Jacob was like, "ok." And not only did I write it, but we recorded it, and Jacob drew a cover for us, and it's called "Dance With Me" and is now available for you to listen to too.

Yay!

July 23rd @ Connolly's, Far Rockaway, NY

Ah... THAT'S more like it. I've missed you. I've missed you all. And you know what? I've missed THIS.

So it rained on my beach party. Pretty typical really, but I'm totally okay with that. Dude, Connolly's is awesome! We get there and it's the converted downstairs of a Victorian house- very cool. Tiny stage, wooden booths everywhere, pina colada night- which, I didn't have one, but I had a pink lemonade instead, and it was very tasty.

We went on first, preceded by a surprise birthday party (I almost just spelled party- "partie," which shows you how sleepy I still am.) It was such a great vibe and I had such a fun time!!! I met a New Finland (breed of dog?) outside who's name is "Shamus." He was beautiful and didn't want me to stop giving him a spine massage. Next time Shamus. Next time.

Danny (formerly of Demetra) invited us. He's in a new band now, "Glass Pipe," and we love them. Good songs, good music, great set! Jamie of Demetra and Amy from Trauma Team were also there- what a party! Punk rockers unite!

We rocked the night away as a three piece- with special guest drummer Ryan D'Angelo. (We love you Ryan!!!) We played some new songs, we played some old favorites, we played some awesome covers, I played my first guitar solo (HA!) all in all it was awesome and I hope to get back there again soon. Maybe when the weather's nicer.

Set List:
-I Love Rock N' Roll
-Consider Me Gone
-Don't Look Back
-Why Bother
-Ride The Wave
-Goodbye
-3AM
-Dark Side
-For The Longest Time

Show tomorrow night!

It's summer and our friends Glass Pipe (featuring Danny formerly of Demetra)
invited us to play with them in Rockaway Beach! I've never been, so I'm
psyched!

We're playing a show at Connolly's in Rockaway Beach- it's punk rock and pina
colada night- FREE admission, 3 great bands, and DJing classic punk
rock in between.

Thursday, July 23rd, 10pm
Connelly's
155 Beach 95th Street
Rockaway Beach, NY 11693

See you there!

Love,
Stewart

Last Piece for Now

It's been a little over 2 months now. John's dad just got out of the hospital on Monday and is back at their house. John and Leslee are still there taking care of him, but I'm back in NYC. (I just started my acupuncture practice! Yay!)

Things are getting better, just slowly. The last piece now is determining what his needs are and how to fulfill them. He is doing great, every day he gets a little more independent in terms of what he can do, but the doctors said he'll need 24 hour care, so they are just trying to figure that part out. And insurance. And therapy. You know, these things are always so involved.

Anyway, other than that we've written a bunch of new songs and can't wait to play them for everyone! I'll keep y'all posted as to when we're playing next. Thank you again for all the good vibes. We love you all!

Quick update for V-Day

Okay. Deep breath. Let's try this again.

God, where to start? It's been about a month since John and Leslee have been in Arkansas. I got here on Monday.

Their dad is out of the ICU, which is good. He's on the rehab floor of the hospital where he has several different types of therapy a couple of hours every day. He's learning to talk and read and move again. His right side is still paralyzed, but he's now responsive to everybody, can shake his head yes or no, and he's trying really hard to talk. He said "bye" to me yesterday and my heart sang. It was beautiful. We're just trying to take everything one day at a time.

Because of that we don't really know when we're coming home. The plan is that we're trying for mid-March, so another month. That will be about the time their dad is getting out of the hospital. But who knows. In the meantime we're trying to just take care of logistics and help their dad get his brain back. Nothing but good vibes and love everyone! Lots and lots and lots of love and good vibes.

As for the show on the 20th- we're not going to be there (obviously.) But if you aren't busy you should totally go- our friend booked the whole night and we're SO bummed we're going to be missing this one. I can't even tell you.

Anyway, I hope everyone's doing well. Thank you so much for all your love and support and prayers. We love and miss you all!

Happy Valentine's Day everybody! Talk to you soon.

I hate myspace

I just spent the last 2 hours writing a blog about what's going on and it just got deleted.

I will try again tomorrow.

Gr.

Life is Beautiful

Good news everyone!!!

Yesterday was a good day, John's dad was doing well, last night things got a little ugly, but he pulled through and it now looks like he's going to be ok. Thank you, thank you, thank you to everyone for all your thoughts and prayers and good vibes! We are so lucky and so thankful to have such wonderful people in our lives. Thank you.

It's going to be a long road to recovery, but we're all very hopeful and it looks like everything's gonna be ok. Life is beautiful! I love you all. Thank you!!!

No news isn't always good news...

As of yesterday he was not doing well, but that's all I know. Saturday and Sunday were supposed to be the critical days, but as of the CT Scan yesterday things were not looking good.

John and his dad are in my hopes and prayers though, and please I ask everyone, just think positive thoughts about health and wellness, smile and feel all the love you can possibly feel in this world.

Thank you. Your support means the world to us. Deep breaths and positive thinking everyone!

January 16th @ Goodbye Blue Monday *special update*

Thursday night we were in a cab on our way to rehearsal and John got a call from his Mom that his Dad was in the hospital. He had a massive stroke and because of the post stroke swelling of his brain, was in danger of dying within the next few days. John and his sister were on a plane Friday morning at 6AM back to Arkansas.

Being the trooper that he is, he wanted us to play without him, which was way more difficult than I can possibly explain. I have only played one show without John since Stewart started in January of 2006. One.

So. When I got to Goodbye Blue Monday, I didn't really know what to say or what to tell everone or how to say it... so I just kind-of stayed in the back until it was time to go on. Al broke the news during the Angry Lemon set, which made it a little easier. We had to change everything around because without John there was about half the set that we couldn't play. It was like Spinal Tap where they're trying to figure out what songs they can still play without Nigel. Not fun.

Luckily, Al was nice enough to do an impromptu cover of In The Aeroplane by Neutral Milk Hotel with me, (we played it at his birthday party last year,) and the rest of the set we just cut a little short. I tried to sing all of John's solos, just to myself, because it made me feel better, but I think it went really well considering. Not the same, so not the same, but good nonetheless.

I talked to John today and he said his dad's starting to show signs of improvement. Fortunately he's surrounded by the people who love him and I really think it's helping to make a difference.

Thank you everyone for all your positive thoughts, kind words and support through this. I will keep you posted, but keep those good thoughts coming!

Set List:
-In The Aeroplane (Neutral Milk Hotel)
-Leave Me Here
-Guiltless
-Destiny
-Consider Me Gone
-Without You
-Stuck In My Head

2008: Year in Review

I haven't written about any of our shows for almost a year now... here's a little summary of what y'all missed (or didn't... you know who you are):

April 6th @ The Tank (Strand Band Party - Part 1)
I didn't tell anyone about this show because we had so many other ones around the same time, and I also therefore don't really remember anything that happened, other than good musicians, cheap beer, and good times. Boring, I know, but hey, what do you want from me? Some shows just rock and there's nothing more to say.

May 19th @ Trash Bar (Strand Band Party - Part 2)
All I remember about this show was Green Andy pretending to suck Romeo's c*ck during the "Our Precious Death Machine" set. Classic. That and John and I used our portable drums!

May 24th @ R Bar
John, me, Leslee, Will, the bartender and the sound guy were the only people at this "Lo-Fi Entertainment" booked show. It was awesome. I danced on a pole!

June 13th @ Goodbye Blue Monday
An intimate night with Stewart where John and I did a solo set, a duo set and some full band songs. It was very different, but very cool- somber, silly, and sincere. We plan on doing more of these acoustic-y shows this year just because they are so chill and fun.

June 14th @ Crafty Records BBQ
Whoa! I can't believe I forgot about this show! This was one of my favorites! It was a bright and brilliant day in the Bronx with great music and great people. It started pouring during our last song, everyone was dancing and it turned into mudfest, then Dan gets down on one knee and proposes to Reina (sp?)! I almost cried! It was so awesome! For all those who haven't been to the Annual Crafty BBQ, I HIGHLY recommend it. It's been a really long time since I've met such an accepting, wonderful, fun group of people. Next year everybody. Next year.

June 25th @ Lit Lounge
You kind-of had to be there... this one was another one of my favorites. Green Andy was our special guest bassist, we played with Lost Locker Combo who are AWESOME, I tripped over an amp and fell on my ass, danced in the crowd and screamed my head off. Special thanks to Seth for coming down from Connecticut!

July 4th @ Goodbye Blue Monday
We couldn't get enough of Goodbye Blue Monday last year! (Still can't.) They throw awesome parties with free food and good music. This cover heavy set was lots of fun. Hot dogs for everyone!

September 13th @ Knitting Factory (Belated Birthday Party)
A fight started outside the club, the police wrestled some guy to the ground and started kicking him, he flips the cop holding him onto the ground, then punches him in the face and is taken down by three more cops. 28 police cars and 3 ambulances show up less than 2 minutes later, shut down the street, block in my car, take the guy away and proceed to stand in groups of 20 on the corners for no reason after everything has been resolved. I was pissed-
"Excuse me, I know you're busy, but someone needs to move that car."
"A police officer was badly hurt and is on his way to the hospital!"
"I understand, but there are a lot of you and I just need ONE person to move THAT car."
And the douche bag insists on conferring with his buddies before moving it. Grr.

On a positive note: cookies (everybody loves cookies), awesome songs, my Mom came and so did Dave (all the way from California!) We had such a good time- Rachel, it's always a pleasure, Marsha, it was so great to meet you! Good times for everyone! Oh, and here's the other story I almost forgot- baking is a science apparently. I thought I remembered the cookie recipe off the top of my head so I tried to make them from memory. Who knew 1/2 a teaspoon made such a HUGE difference? Fortunately I realized my fatal mistake after the first batch and we had plenty to go around. Phew!

October 10th @ Red Star Bar (MEANY Fest)
During our set the bouncer got into a fight with someone who pinned him to the ground, covered the bouncers face, and the bouncer subsequently bit his little finger off. This actually happened, I'm not shitting you. Stewart makes people do crazy, violent things.

November 8th @ Passout Records
This show was awesome and totally renewed my faith in music playing. Pool and Burritos at San Loco, rain and beer in paper bags so no one would notice, good bands, lots of dancing, and tons of fun. Also of notable mention, The Pigs. Very reminiscent of Tim.

December 12th @ Trash Bar (Graduation / Holiday Party)
OMG! This was seriously the best time I had all year. John's family was there from Arkansas, people kept feeding me whiskey, Rancid and lots of other punk rock on the jukebox, and all of my favorite people from NYC in the same room! Who could ask for a better graduation party? Murphy's Law packed the place to the point where they had to open the double doors into the front room- you have no idea how many people can squish into Trash Bar. Beer flinging, boot stomping, lots of dancing and great music. Shiragirl is my favorite local band, and if I had it in me I'd explain how tiny the music scene in NYC is and how everyone is randomly, inconceivably connected.

...

So, it turns out that CD that I've been giving out doesn't have track names or anything on it. Hmm. So, for anyone interested, here are all the names of the songs. The album itself is called "Part iV: A New Hope":

1. Without You
2. Dark Side
3. Destiny
4. Stuck In My Head
5. Consider Me Gone
6. Adaptation
7. Leave Me Here
8. Not That Bad
9. This Happens
10. Don't Look Back
11. Half Here
12. No More Jealous Girlfriends
13. Out of Ideas
14. Don't Know Why
15. Falling Stars
16. Try So Hard
17. Guiltless

Someday I'll put up lyrics too... although I think if you go through our old blogs a lot of them are there... could be wrong though, but I think that may be true. :)

Thanks everybody! Talk to you soon!
