The Latest

Caught a lot of compliments and an equal amount of flack for my writing in this week’s Movie Review in our local rag, the New Times. That was fun.
(If link goes dead I reproduced it here)

Damon Castillo’s brand new album is coming back from mastering this week. That should be pretty damn good, they sure spent enough time on it! :)

Been trying to promote the Tipsy Gypsies on that dumb website they call “MySpace“, and working up new material with Hillary. We’ve got some brand new songs we’re going to demo soon so there will be something for ya’ll outside of CA to listen to.

Working hard (or hardly working) at Grand Central Music, running the lesson program and trying to stay busy. Our online ebay sales are really taking off, which is good in this stupid economy.

A couple of gigs comin up that I’m looking forward to :

Damon Castillo - Farmers Market in SLO - Thurs, 9-25

Jazz at the Inn At Morro Bay - Fri, 9-26 (upright bass)

Damon Castillo Acoustic - Linnea’s - Sat, 9-27 (upright bass)

It’ll be good to dust off the old upright for a change….

New Tipsy Gypsy Tracks online

It was a great sunday for recording. It was warm, beautiful and tipsy.

We got together at my house and worked all day using Toan’s little Edirol Stereo Harddisk Recorder, so these are all one takes. No room for error (although you’ll probably hear a few!).

All in all they came out pretty good. There’s even more tracks than the ones I’ve put up, but those might rear their ugly heads soon as well.

The Tipsy Gypsies

It’s official. Well, not finished, but official. I bought www.TheTipsyGypsies.com and put up one little teaser soundbite in honor of our second official gig, which will be happening tonight!

Anyone in the area who are interested in going to Steve Miller’s birthday party, give me a call. It’s gonna be a hoot. We’re playing and there’s gonna be a selection of Steve’s photography on display, and it’s held at his photo studio. Gonna be a blast.
