timothy java drumming on “rise, start, go!” by modernsextrash
when modernsextrash found its core members and the group began to gell as musicians “rise, start, go!” was our first crack at huddling together in a rehearsal studio and manifesting music. although a little more raw and live than the first release and where the band is currently going musically, i feel there is a sense of excitement and nervousness in these tracks that makes them pretty special! i hope it was obvious and people enjoyed the fact that we were total NOOBS!
you can see how my personal n00bery and drumming has evolved by viewing some more recent rehearsal footage of “rise, start, go!” on my youtube page.
ps – this video for “thing” goes out to my man john waltmann of four letter lie and 2012 threads. it’s his favorite (so far) modernsextrash song and for the last few years john has become a favorite dude of mine.

jamie maldonado photography featuring modernsextrash
throughout the establishing year of the band, we had the privilege of hooking up with photography guru and information technologically savvy jamie maldonado in order to capture both live moments and press shots.
i found Jamie on myspace by searching for photographers in minneapolis and you can imagine the options that were thrown at me. however, jamie’s digital presence and obvious passion for photography in his work grabbed me much quicker than the rest along with his quick response and work ethic with taking the 414 soundbar gig at the last minute. Unfortunately, the lighting scenario of the club made things difficult for any photographer. but with a jimmy rigging that would make macgyver proud, jamie used a make shift, low level flash device, or modified snoot for the photographers, to capture the action.
our 2nd live show with jamie took place at envy nightclub and made up for the technically challenging environment of the 1st show. having longer than a 20 minute set allowed more time to adapt to his surroundings and really capture some wonderfully colored close ups on a much better make shift stage. check out his tactics and tips used in creating these beautiful live moments.
our latest work with jamie maldonado featured press shots of the band and captured his idea of “stealth band photos” to give a sense of photojournalism within the average and often cliche band photo. the set of the shoot lived in the top level suite of the gorgeous cloud 9 sky lofts in minneapolis inhabiting the old united health group headquarters now located just down the street.

minnesota snow bird
on friday, novebmer 20th, modernsextrash will be playing our last show until the spring. why such a break? because i’m moving as far away from the snow as i possibly can!
i’m moving to the dominican republic for the winter months, goals:
1. to write a ton of amazing mst songs.
2. improve my surfing skills.
3. continue to build the Panancea3 empire via the web.
this trip is a temporary relocation to avoid the physical and mental wear that the minnesota winters tend to deal to my existence.
this is in no way, shape or form a sign that modernsextrash is slowing down, as a matter of fact, things are just starting to become quite epic. we are currently mixing our next set of 6 songs that will be released sometime this winter. we’re also lining up some very exciting touring/management scenarios for 2010.
additionally, we are launching the “live” portion of mst.com which will feature bi-weekly streams of us doing really cool, earth shattering stuff. the first one will be hosted by me @ 8:30pm CST on monday november 23rd, tune in and let me bid you farewell before i venture south!!
