Congratulations George Berlin for being the American representative in the Borealis Festival of Light! George's large-scale (500 feet wide!) projection mapping video is one of six featured global entries displayed on the Museum of History and Industry in Seattle, WA for 4 days in October, 2018. Check out a video of George's work which features music by Twink.
Thanks Stephen SPAZ Schnee for interviewing me and featuring the music of Twink on the Beach Blanket Fort Bingo podcast!
Huzzah, there's a new Twink 7-inch record of ear candy. Sugar Trip is 4 songs on split color vinyl with tasty cover art by Kim Thompson.
A new Twink track can be found on the free compilation Kooky Nuts Pop Vol. 2 from the French label Proot Records. It's an eclectic mix of artists to say the least. Check it out and make some new favorite musicians! By the way CDs are also available if that's your thing.
Covered In Punk is a brand new triple album tribute to legendary deejay Dr. Demento. I play on a song with Fred Schneider of The B-52s. The compilation also includes William Shatner, Adam West, Joan Jett, Weird Al, The Dead Milkmen and many more weirdos.
Thank you A Closer Listen for naming Wide Eyed Wild Ride Happiest Music of the Year!
"The world needs happy music now more than ever. At the end of an incredibly draining year, such music can restore our spirits, clearing our minds for the holidays and bolstering us with hope for the upcoming year. We all need encouragement, and there's nothing like a peaceful melody or an upbeat phrase to freshen our thoughts."
It's Thanksgiving in the USA which means gorging without guilt! To celebrate the holiday vinyl records are only $12 each through Cyber Monday (November 27, 2017). Gobble gobble!
To celebrate the Halloween season here's a spooky video for "Bone Shaker" featuring vintage animation by Ub Iwerks.
I'm excited to announce the new Twink album Wide Eyed Wild Ride. The 12-inch record comes on candy colored vinyl with a silk-screened cover by artist Steven Cerio.
Check out a magical video for the first single "Hot Popper" by Jim Ether.
I contributed to 2 songs on a cool new compilation called My Invisible Friend 2. The producers call it a "blindfolded exquisite corpse" (like the surrealist game) in which none of the musicians knew who they were collaborating with. Very fun and mysterious!
Download My Invisible Friend 2 for free and watch a quick video that explains what it's about.
I've been busy this year contributing songs to several compilations and getting another album together. Look for a new Twink vinyl record in early 2017.
There's a new 1-munite Twink track on the Gone in 60 Seconds Vol. 3 compilation from I Heart Noise. It's a free download of eclectic Boston bands.
If you're getting tired of holiday music you can listen to this Spotify playlist of toytronica I made for you. You're welcome.
Dust Bunny is out today! Twink's first record comes with multi-color splatter vinyl, gorgeous cover artwork by illustrator Kate O'Hara, and is limited to 300 copies.
"If we had to sum up this album in a single word, that word would be magical."
