Tin Pan Video Network
We just created a new You Tube Channel. So far there’s a sexy video we made with a burlesque dancer, Veronica Varlow. There’s a clip of a dance event in Amsterdam where DJ Shorty George is playing one of our tracks! There’s also a whole Read More …
That same Union Square Hit
Apparently it made a big impact. Here is some more found video courtesy of the fine folks at fiveoutsiders.com. Nice editing!! We’re gonna do this again tomorrow. That’s to say, Wednesday from 3-6 at the same exact location with the same dancers. Yumsky.

As some of you know Rob Adkins and I went to Boston this weekend to play a swing dance event with Gordon Webster. This was the second time that the two of us have joined Gordon for an out-of-town run. Safe to say we had Read More …
Hound’s Tooth is coming
It’s been an interesting week. Oddly, we had two television opportunities. You heard about the NY1 thing but we also were filmed for “The Today Show with Kathy Lee Gifford.” Apparently they’re doing a story about MUNY and they are filming a bunch of the Read More …
