New Year
Jan 2, 2010 Uncategorized
New Years Eve is always such a dramatic night. The ritualized excuse to get loose and forget. A chance to begin again every three-hundred and sixty-fifth day. Personally, it signifies the end of holiday, which hinders on the verge of duty or performance depending on how you view the glass.
On the greener side, the first days of the calender year are usually cheery yet reserved, immured moments of preparation. Within these belly gazing days, if I may speak in generalizations, there are customs: mapping out the course of the year, generic resolutions (gain x number of lbs, quit smoking using the smokeless nicotine stick your friend presented you for christmas), check finances, consider marital status, STD tests, et cetera and the essentials. These preparatory goals and customs seem irrelevant after a couple months, after the buzz of holiday has worn off and routine is a routine as the same old routine and habits aren’t formed as easily as bad-habits accumulate, and that numbered post-it note on the fridge or tackboard has some how disappeared… 
That must be apart of the ritual too. To fail. Days in successions offering the opportunity to succeed or fail. Minor, incidental mishaps. Great moments of valure in happenstance or the mundane. Each second is one of the eighty-six thousand four hundred out of thirty-one million five hundred and fifty-six thousand nine hundred and twenty-six seconds until the counter resets. It is difficult to spend each one wisely, particularly since a cheers is usually what proceeds the initial yell and celebration of time.
Pizza Beer and I.A.M_ ?

Oh cleveland how we love your charm! I.A.M_ spent last evening on west sixth street downtown Cleveland OH… And yes that is the street mentioned in the ever so popular Cleveland promotional song (if you don’t know what song i am talking about look it up on you tube!) Mike and I got into town around seven and ready to rock out my B-day bash OH style and we caught one hell of a ride. And as for most great adventures we gained some nuggets of knowledge that i am going to pass on to you all!!!!
First- I.A.M_ and Pizzerias Do Not Mix! Sad to say but this fiery rhythm driven band of two semi-psychotic but irresistibly charming misfits met up fist to fist against gourmet pizza eating wine and beer sipping (not slamming but light easy sips) well dressed up scale top shelf valet my mid-life crisis Clevelanders. Oh yes it went down and i mean went down H.A.R.D! Wearing 412 on our sleeves we of course handled business and when the smoke cleared I.A.M_ was left standing. Blitzburgh Sixburgh I.A.M_da-shizzleburgh call it what you want. You know when it comes down to it, everyone knows Pittsburgh owns Cleveland!!!
Second-Do Not Wear Plain white Tee-shirts! This color offends the good people of Cleveland. After being turned away ever so graciously by numerous bouncers we found out that in Cleveland world white shirts = trouble and i am not talking Saturday night East Carson St. pee on a stranger’s car trouble… We are talking hot gangs wearing expensive rangs got two hot bodies tryin’ to get on top of me… pimpin’ n’ sippin’ make it rain… got a hand on my pistol waiting for the ring of the bell straight bringin’ hell washing down the walls with bullets, stars, fast women and detailed cars.
Third-Sleep When You Can!- I.A.M_ was rocked to sleep by Posh Army. Thanks again Posh Army it’s always great to meet up with friendly bands along the way..thanks for letting us crash out on your floor and keeping us up and drinking some hour that i don’t even care to remember. And to the rest of you Cleveland thanks for letting us see the ever so famous west sixth street in all it’s glory… the street run by business casual suits and sexy little numbers rocking hips and lips and sexy tricks!

Hope all is well in your lives. Way to go Pens!!! Love to be from the city of Champs.

Home From Chicago
Jun 3, 2009 Uncategorized
7 a.m Sunday morning the Dodge Convoy final makes it’s final destination Pittsburgh PA… I.A.M_ returns to it’s home base 251 south saint clair. Chicago was a great time filled with music and meeting new friends. Thanks to the people of the Cobra lounge for not kicking us out and the Hollywood Inn for letting us let loose and rock the stage. Many thanks to The Dogs Divine for showing us a great time in their wonderful city! And for the late night party crash somewhere in Dayton OH we will call it Mcduffy’s Lounge. After an 8 hour recording session at NIU I.A.M_ pumped out four songs to represent our first official demo!!! Many thanks to my brother Evan and his partner in crime Dan for their hard work , brain power, studio knowledge, and tireless efforts to help make it all happen … You Guys rock!!! Michael and I both tired and inspired are back and ready to start gigging around the Da’ Burgh again and more importantly ready to spread the new music to our wonderful friends and family here in the 412. We will be posting new shows as our calender starts to fill up, and new music as soon as we start getting tracks back from the studio. And to Anna our manager we owe you so many thanks for keeping it all organized, moving, and focused…plus you are the greatest band van driver ever!!!
I.A.M_ —Isaac
