Back on Stage, Again...
Back on Stage...
Something New
Fall tour is in the works. New songs in the works. New site, new merch, newish band, new to newish-everything... Soon...very soon...
Oh...and we have a Facebook and Twitter and all that noise. I think we have a MySpace, but that shows exactly how much I use it. I will start using the former two more regularly as long as I am regular as my best posts come while on the pot (I think there might just be a few puns in that one).
Hope to see everyone soon.

Oh So Long Awaited...
The original incarnation of The Good Things consisted of only three of us; ukelele, kazoo and skin flute. We reigned from 2006-2008 and self-released an EP then called "Side 1".
Alas, "Side 2" was not to be due to the long hiatus, some scrambled eggs and various other tragedies.
What do you think I'm going to say next...?
You bet your balls the official TGT "Side 2" EP is officially in progress!
That is all for now.
Oh wait. Also, look out for a performance date in the next tens of days.

It's Official...
...I have begun work on what will be The Good Things' first full-length album. Much excite. Details are still coming together and it likely won't be out for a year, but I've been writing and I'm already a few songs deep.
That doesn't mean you'll have to wait a year for more music; I am also working on an EP. It'll be done before the end of the year.
If you haven't already, check out the downloads of the first 3 singles of the Bedroom Sessions on the Free Music page. They're free to download.

The New Plan
I am ending the free music series...sort of. I am too busy to write and record at least one song and have it ready for release each month, as it turns out. But that doesn't mean there will be no more free music.
Putting together the Mega Band for the Rockin' For a Match Benefit in March has led to the return of The Good Things not only to the stage, but as an actual band.
I am currently developing a new plan that will get this thing off of the ground. There will likely be either a new EP or The Good Things' very first LP by mid-2012. We will also be popping up around town doing some shows in the second half of 2011.
While all that is in the works, I will be working on a blues-themed record this summer. I'm not sure when it will be done, but it will be free to download to make up for the quick end to the free single series I had been working on.
The 4 songs that I've already released will continue to be available for free download. So, if you want to hear more TGT tunes and see us live, please help promote by telling anyone you know who might like us to stop by TheGoodThings.com and download some of our stuff for FREE!

Return to the Stage
I am officially returning to the stage...with a MEGABAND!
I was asked this past Wednesday to play a benefit concert for a friend of a friend who has a rare form of non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma, and even though I haven't played in over two years, I said yes.
The show is March 26, 2011, at the Emerald Theater in Mt. Clemens, MI. There are a bunch of bands involved, including The Satin Peaches, Lightning Love, The Small Noises, and of course... THE GOOD THINGS and my MEGABAND.
This whole thing is a crazy rush for me: I have less than two weeks to put a band together, rehearse and perform the show. And the band is thirteen people strong!
I'm chronicling the whole thing for a short film. So please, come out in droves (tickets are $15, but it's obviously for a good cause). See The Good Things return with a new lineup, see the giant MegaBand ridiculousness, maybe be in the film, and support a great cause; every ticket counts.

"Down" is Ready to Download FREE
DEC 29, 2010
My new single called "Down" is now available for free download at TheGoodThings.Bandcamp.com. This is the second single in this series of free music that I am working on. Enjoy.
When you download the track, you will be asked to give your email address. I'm trying to build a mailing list so I can send out a notice each month when new The Good Things music is available. The next single will be out at the end of next month.
