progress is a bitch
June 16th, 2006 by Luke
The good news is that I am not going to fall off the edge of the Earth. The bad news is that I might be dangling there and to many it will seem as though I have actually died. Why?
The next few months will be trying ones. I need to record. And I need to find some musicians to play with me. And…I need to do all of this while finding a new apartment. Did I mention I just got a new job…that pays less, but has a whole lot less stress?
Yeah, so I am not playing out or doing much of anything right now. Hopefully, though, I will emerge from this hiatus heavily armed.

Nothing all that important…
March 15th, 2006 by Luke
I spent all day today researching clubs and booking info. Hopefully, this could mean that in the near future I will actually be booking some gigs at these places, but if I sent things out today I wouldn’t know for a couple weeks anyway. The good news, though, is that I was fairly proactive today. I just wanted to let everybody know that. Tomorrow I take over the world.

Long time coming…
March 6th, 2006 by Luke
Alright, so it has been a while and I have been getting backhanded comments about updating my page. So, now, in order to quell this harassment, I will catch everyone up on my life in the past few months.
I took a few months off from playing and worked on a few other things.
Satisfied?
Ok…seriously though…I did take a few months off from playing out, but in the mean time I have been working on other things related to music. I have been attempting to try some boot leg recording, computer style. That, however, is not really working out. In place of that, though, I have been talking to a drummer. Hopefully, I will soon be coming to a stage near you with a band behind me.
I also have been working with a photographer to start putting together some pro-grade pictures. Much thanks to Justin Walker, who does great work. So, the design of the webpage is going to be undergoing some changes in the near future as the boys at Jupitercow web design begin to integrate the pictures into the inner workings of this here page.
Also, I am beginning to play out again. I have one show booked at the moment. The coming weeks should bring more shows so pay attention and keep checking back. The show that’s coming up, though, is something I am kind of psyched about. I am playing as a part of a singer/songwriter showcase at CBGB’s Lounge. I am only playing a fifteen minute slot, but it’s a great venue and a hot event. Check the shows page to see further details.
Also, I am on Myspace. I conceded. It took me a while, but I finally caved into the revolution. myspace.com/lukewesley would be where you need to go. < — Or just click on that link. The one positive to going to my Myspace page is that, for now, it is the best place to hear my music and to get a sneak peak at some pictures.
I believe that pretty much sums it up. All of that has happened in the past few months. That and some alcohol.
Until next time…

Sidewalk, MoMA, and lots of free alcohol
November 2nd, 2005 by Luke
My shows at Sidewalk and MoMA last week went smashingly. Anybody who missed my show at MoMA should be bummed because it was the best I have ever sounded: you can decide for yourself what that really means. The second set at MoMA was loads of fun, though, because I played with a couple of incredible musicians. They did a lot of old-timey jazz covers, and I backed them up on Drums. Basically what I am trying to say here is that the MoMA show was the heat, and you may have missed it altogether. Shame.
I haven’t booked anymore shows for the coming weeks, but I will be booking them soon so you should stay tuned and then come out and listen to me.
The best part about playing any show is that people always want to buy you beers. The best part about MoMA was that I could drink as much as I wanted on the cafe’s tab. Perk. That launched me into the “holiday” weekend where I just hopped from party to party with my bloodied up face (I went as myself after I fell off my roof two months ago). So ending my weekend on monday night, I believe it is time for me to stop drinking a little and focus on something else. Something more productive. I’ll get back to you on that.
