LA in KDHX's local artist spotlight

Exciting news! LEFT ARM will be the artist featured on the "Local Artist Spotlight" on 88.1 FM KDHX in St. Louis. The spots will run twice/day for the two weeks between Oct. 29 and Nov. 11. I went in to record the interview portion of the segment last night. Here's to hoping I don't make myself or the band come of like total dorks! Big ups to Matt Brinkmann for everything.

Also, the CD is in production as we speak...er, write...er, read. So, they'll be here and ready for the CD release party November 10th at the Stagger Inn. Yay!

See ya Halloween night for a night of GORE!!!

We've been blown

News bits!

A.) We had an amazing show and an amazing time at the first ever Show-Me Blowout fest at Off Broadway. Thanks to everyone for coming out and dancin yer asses off and to Kopper and Bill Streeter for putting on an excellent weekend.

B.) Our new CD, "Dissatisoul" (cover shown above) is off being mastered and it sounds killer! 12 tracks of hot fuzz. It is my/our aim to have that baby back in our hands (and then in your hands) for the November 10th show at The Stagger Inn. Let's keep our fingers crossed.

C.) Now we look forward to an amazing show Halloween night with the lovely and talented, Gore Gore Girls.

Happy birthday Left Arm!

Classic Left Arm - Jim fuzzbassin' at the Creepy Crawl in '03.

As of August 8th (technically yesterday), LEFT ARM is officially 5 years old! It's easy for me to remember - LA shares my birthday. Songwriting began in August, and we played our first show in October of 2002.

Ahh, a long and bumpy ride it's been for sure.

While we've kicked much ass in that time, I truly believe what lies ahead (both in the very near and distant futures) will be even better! I'm not just saying that. The various recordings sound great, and we have several confirmed (and unconfirmed) shows lined up for the fall that have "legendary" written all over them.

Thanks for the mammaries.

We gotta place to go after the show

A bunch of exciting things going on in camp LEFT ARM. For starters, the recording process for the new CD is moving along nicely. Drums, fuzzbass, guitars and 90% of the vocals have been tracked. Everything is sounding pretty boss. We have a massive amount of mixing ahead of us, so that's a bit daunting. But, we're gonna keep plowing forward over the course of the summer. The track listing (in no particular order) is looking like this:

1. Lure of the Light
2. After Party
3. No Time for Rock n Roll
4. Gotta Go
5. More Harm Than Good
6. New Kind of Kick
7. Congratulations
8. Forget the Rock, Let's Roll
9. As Seen On TV
10. Gonna Get You
11. Love Blast
12. Damn the Peanut Man

With maybe a bonus track or two thrown in there if we're lucky.

Also, we're trying to solidify our show schedule for the rest of the year. We have GroveFest (the 15th) and a big pre-GonerFest show with CoCoComa and The Hipshakes at the Way Out Club in September (the 24th). In October (the 12th) we're playing the first annual TIRC Show Me Blowout! And that should be one hell of a good time. Plus, it's very possible that we'll be playing a HUGE Halloween show. More details on that soon.

In November and December we'll hopefully be hitting the road. If you live in Louisville, Carbondale, Cincinnati, Indianapolis, Memphis, Nashville, or Chicago and you can hook us up with a show, drop us a line at leftarmmusic@yahoo.com.



AND last but not least as they say, the LEFT ARM family welcomes it's newest member, Corinne Sophia Potter. She was born Saturday night, and if I do say so myself she's completely adorable. I breed 'em to replace me when my joints get brittle. Yeah! Ok, thanks for listening.

New Kind Of Kick

Here ya go. Feel free to go hog mad!

LEFT ARM live at Lemmons 7/14/07 playing The Cramps' classic "New Kind Of Kick". Shot by the amazing Gary Hudson.



Had a great show overall. Got to play with our pals Dear Calamity and B&E. Great sets from both of those guys (and gal). Some good friends were out for the fun.

See ya soon.

Left Arm - 7/14/07 at Lemmons

It's been fun, but let's be honest - we both knew this thing we've had between us wouldn't - and couldn't - last forever.

It's true, the LEFT ARM Spring Fling 2K7 is coming to a close this Saturday night at Lemmons. We're going to be taking the summer off from playing shows. In fact, if you're around the St. Louis area, you won't be seeing much of us for the rest of the year. We have a couple dates lined up in town, but mostly we'll be on the road or recording.

So, come on out, get a pizza, get some beers, and party with us while you're lucky enough to have the chance!

Saturday, July 14th
@ Lemmons
Left Arm / B&E / Dear Calamity
Doors: 9 | $5 | 21+
