Next group show I'm in is out in SF at Luggage Store Gallery. Opening is on May 9, 2008. I will play at the opening (Soft Circle) as well as Rob Barber from High Places (his solo project called Urxed) as well as Car Clutch (Ethan Swan and Brendan Fowler aka BARR). Recent projects include being music director for the Boredoms 77 BOADRUM event in New York. Collaborators include Doug Aitken(recent MoMA performance for Sleep Walkers), Cosmic Wonder, Nom De Guerre. My most recent solo music project is called SOFT CIRCLE, my first album 'Full Bloom' is out now on Eastern Developments for more information go to www.easterndevelopments.com USUN is another more acoustically oriented musical project with Mark Borthwick, David Aron and Scott Mou. I am a former member of Black Dice as well as Lightning Bolt (way back when). Can I let you know about my upcoming music and art shows here? My website is in the works www.hishamb.com, should be up sometime during my lifetime, sorry for the delay, have been busy as a bee =)
