Food Group is an amazing band. You check ’em out.
Hey, everybody! Mike TV here. Long time listener. First time caller. Wait…what? Anyway, a friend of mine, Eric Lyday, is the principle songwriter for a band called Food Group, here in Austin Texas. They just put out a new album. It’s amazing. So, I wrote a little review. Here it is. Here Today, by Food Group (a review) written by Mike TV Every time I listen to Here Today, the debut full-length album, by Food Group, I hear something new. This is a sonically dense, beautifully arranged collection of songs that, to my ears, evokes an emotional palette as More…
Get Set Go is still alive!
Hey everyone! Mike TV here! I haven’t written a blog in ages. I really apologize. It turns out that I can effectively do one thing at a time. As I get older my ability to multi-task has calcified. And I really only have the strength to create one thing a day. After I poop out a new song, I am done. My brain is taxed, my soul whimpers, and my heart deflates. I had such grand plans for posting daily blogs whilst also writing and posting daily songs. The songs thing is actually working according to plan. If More…
We Are Not Alone.
First, can I say that June bugs are drunk. Or blind. Or maybe a combination of the two. I have never seen more terrible aerobatics from any other creature. These mentally damaged insects fly like they’re lunatics. They bash into walls, into each other, into anything around them.

A Brand New Era For an Off Brand Guy.
I live in Austin. It hasn’t really sunk in yet. Not the humidity. Not the odd sounding birds outside. Not the droves of insects, including bugs who apparently have such terrible indigestion that their asses actually explode with light. Not the fact that each morning I wake up in a bedroom that is basically the size of my entire place in Los Angeles. It still feels like I’m on the road. Probably because I just got back from the road. But, the awesome thing is, it’s a town I am quickly falling in love with. I mean, sure, More…
Get Set Go touring in April, May, and June of 2014!
Hey everyone! Just wanted to post our tour route as it stands now. We’re hoping to mostly play small shows, house shows, small night clubs, backyards, and any sort of non-traditional venue. Since we only get out to your neighborhoods every couple of years, we’d like to make sure we can play for as long as you’d like. And every song you want to hear. So, that said, we’re hoping to get a little help from you, our friends and our fans. If you have a house, a backyard, a garage, a coffee-shop, a bar, a thrift store, a More…
