Scorpion Child flew over to the U.K. to play Download Fest 2016 – so rad! – we torched the stage with some tunes, then hung out to watch Black Sabbath later that day. The picture above was right after our set.

What I've been up to...

Scorpion Child - SPEEDFEST 2015 (Eindhoven, Netherlands) - by Nathan Dobbelaere - November 21, 2015

Time to fill y'all in on what I've been up to lately:

SCORPION CHILD: I joined the rock band Scorpion Child from Austin, Texas early on in 2015. Since then, we've been very busy writing and recording the second album, and we've played a lot of shows, including a European tour with the bands Crobot and Buffalo Summer. The new album we recorded comes out Spring 2016, so look out for an Austin album-release show! We have another European tour lined up for March 2016, so the band and I won't be around for SXSW this year, but we'll be shredding:
- 3.7 - Bergen, Norway - Garage
- 3.8 - Stavanger, Norway - Folken
- 3.9 - Drammen, Norway - Drammen Scener
- 3.10 - Gothenburg, Sweden - Trädgarn
- 3.11 - Stockholm, Sweden - Gota Kallare

Check out the first single from the new Scorpion Child album that comes out soon! "She Sings, I Kill":

SOLO ALBUM TWO: I've been writing and recording lately, and I've been uncovering a lot of new musical territory that'll be in the next album. Due to fresh song ideas and some equipment upgrades, it'll still be a bit before I finish recording and release the second album, but I have a lot of song and sound ideas. I'm super stoked on album two, because it definitely takes you to a new and different place than the debut album "Thief of Fire", and I'm still discovering all that this new album holds.

SOLO SHOWS: I'm focused on touring with Scorpion Child and writing the second solo album right now, but I'll be booking solo shows in between Scorpion Child tours, so look out for show dates soon. I can't wait to show y'all these new grooves!

Check back soon for more updates!

Much love,

Music update!: November shows, writing new songs, and making a music video!

10/28/2014

Howdy!

Just wanted to do a little update about what's happening currently with my music...

Writing new songs! – I realized I already have about five songs written for album two!! Nothing finished enough to release officially yet, but I've been building a lot of new material up, and I LOVE WRITING SO MUCH! After all the tours this summer and fall, it definitely feels good to be back in Austin to hang, write for a bit, then hit the road again as soon as I'm done. :)

Making a music video! – Started to put together a music video with my friend Rob from Onion Creek Productions. The ball is rolling, but there's much to do, so I'll be sure to update as things keep happening!

Opening for SPHYNX in Austin on November 21st! – big ol' party on the horizon! I'll be opening for Sphynx at Cheer Up Charlies on November 21st!! Also playing with Children of Pop, The Beans, and Ronnie Heart – Doors at 8p, $5

Opening for Gardens & Villa at 502 Bar in San Antonio on November 7th! – Get ready for another crazy night at 502 Bar! Doors at 9pm, info/tickets do210.com/events/2014/11/7/gardens-villa

Other than that, I've made a couple equipment upgrades, and I'm suuuuuper stoked to show y'all the new material!

Much love,
