If you’ve been waiting for the last minute to kick in to help FrankenSound open an all-ages venue near Rutgers/New Brunswick, you have succeeded; the last minute has arrived. We’re SO close! Kick in now and get extra fabulous prizes! Go to Kickstarter.com NOW and become a backer!
Our backers-only “Soft Opening” event – DJed by 90.5 The Night’s Jeff Raspe, and featuring food…and a performance by Logs in the Mainstream – is now scheduled for October 2nd. Let’s make this happen together!
FrankenSound has teamed up with Kickstarter.com to help us finish the last stage of construction on FrankenSound’s Warehouse, a brand new, all-ages music venue near Rutgers.
Go to our Kickstarter page, watch our video, pick your prize, and tell your friends. Please post this link on your Facebook and Twitter pages too!
If all goes well, these 45 days will help us raise the money we need to open our doors, but Kickstarter is an all-or-nothing funding tool, so if we don’t meet our goal by August 26th, at 11:59pm, you’ll never have to pay for your prize, and we will get nothing, so pick the biggest prize you can (every little bit helps!) and enable us to make it worth your while!
(and, again, please tell your friends and help us spread the word…even if you can’t afford to contribute monetarily)
Tomorrow night, at 6pm, I’ll be in Middletown, NJ, raising money for Haitian relief alongside Xenia Sky and Sonni Shine. Details are here: http://bit.ly/cRal8X
It’s a good time and a good cause, and it’s so early you can even go out and get shitfaced afterward, so there’s really no excuse. If you don’t come, I’ll assume that means that you hate starving Haitian babies. Prove me wrong.
After much snow and canceled giggery, nothing could keep Alex Biese and me from rocking the Twisted Tree Cafe this past Friday night…hard. I’ve posted 10 videos (mostly of Alex, since my songs were mostly dupes anyway) in a playlist on the nettertubes.
More shows are posted to the right, in the sidebar.
Oh, and I FINISHED REVAMPING ERICGINSBERG.COM TODAY!!!! It’s taken MONTHS of work and, in fairness, months of procrastination, but it’s finally done. The final step: there are now over 20 songs available in the Demos section, under the Music tab. There are lyrics, videos, and free downloads!!
David Bowie & Bing Crosby came on the radio yesterday morning. They talked a bit, then sang “Little Drummer Boy”. They sang in unison until, over Bing’s “Ba-rum-pa-pum-pum,” Bowie sang, “Peace on Earth…” and I was inspired to write this song. I started scribling at the red light and now, a day later, I present my holiday gift to you:
Why’s it Have to be Christmas Time (To Wish for Peace on Earth)
I’ve completely redone the Eric Ginsberg Store! I’ve made the interface a bazillion times better looking! And by, “I’ve made…,” of course I mean: “I found a great wordpress widget that does it all for me.” All the items that used to be there are there, but now there are NEW SHIRTS!! Limited supply!
Also, I’ve installed Google Checkout so you can just enter your credit card information, safely and securely, without having to open a PayPal account (which is great).
Finally, I’ve made purchasing digital downloads SO much easier with a feature currently only available through the Store. When I work on the music page, I’ll implement this feature across the board. For now though, the individual songs are still available for download on the music page via payloadz (a neat and functional service, but one that I’ve outgrown and that charges me more than this new thingy).
The project continues and I’ve now finished my facebook fan page, updated the mailing list, installed some fun new widgets to EricGinsberg.com, and synched a bazillion things to my twitter account (so I can bombard the twittoscape).
With his arsenal of alternately upbeat and somber pop/rock songs, more infectiously catchy than a sailor on shore leave, Eric Ginsberg has performed across the country at colleges, Cafe's, Bars and Clubs (NJ, NY, CA, TN, PA, CT, FL, NC, SC, AL). When not on tour, he can be found in and around his native NJ, trying out new material and supporting his local scene.
Upcoming Gigs
Eric is taking a little break from the road right now, but check back soon for updates. Can't wait? Visit the Booking page to bring Eric Ginsberg to your town/college/home.
