SPRING IS HEATING UP!
Happy May to everyone! Lots coming up. May 16 I will finally have Hey San Pedro available both digitally (iTUNES, etc) and in real old fashioned physical digipak form. Come join me for our record release party for HEY SAN PEDRO on WED 5/16 at 7:30pm at Stories Book Store & Cafe in Echo Park, CA. (near downtown LA). I will have some very special guests join me in this set.
More XS solo shows are coming up this Summer. June 2 at 3pm, I will be performing on the Gibson MTV Movie Awards Eco Lounge stage. Stay tuned for location. June 23 is our San Diego Kickstarter house party and in late August I will be touring to Riga, Moscow, Oslo, Hamburg and Manchester. European dates and venues are TBA. Run Run Run will also be performing in Riga on AUG 19 for a open air city-wide festival, and also a headlining club gig in Moscow. Please join us. Other projects include joining Scarlet Cherry on guitar for her latest video, "Sleep Until You Dream." Also, gigs for TranzK in the works and a special collaboration with friends/fellow rockers Pauley Perette, Tommy Joe Ratliff and Veronica Bellino. Lastly, thanks to everyone who came to the Seattle Gibson Kickstarter event on APR 26. I was honored to have special guest Roger Fisher from Heart join me for a few songs. Thanks so much for supporting the new music for HEY SAN PEDRO. Please share these mp3s with your friends, local DJs, press and blogs.  SPRING BLAHGING
Lots to Blahg about!
First off, the official HEY SAN PEDRO record release show will be on MAY 16 2012 at Stories bookstore in Echo Park, CA 7:30pm. Free and all ages. Come join us. iTunes will also have the record available by May 15. Next week I hope to see many of you in Seattle, WA on April 26 6:30pm for my kickstarter show at the fabulous Gibson Showroom in Belltown. All are welcome for a solo Xander set with special guest, Roger Fisher (guitarist for HEART). Super thanks to BestFriends.org for including Run Run Run in their NKLA launch party on Apr 17 2012 at House of Blues. What a great event to support animal rescue in California. Very cool to hang with other supporters Hilary Swank, Moby, Lisa Edelstein and Alicia Silverstone. Congrats to our Russian friends, MUMIY TROLL for 3 sold out shows a few weeks ago in NYC, LA and SD. RRR was lucky enough to open those shows... and...lastly, happy B day to all the Spring babies, and thanks for all your birthday wishes on April 14! whew... blahged out...  HEY SAN PEDRO, SEATTLE, LATVIA, AND..?
Thanks so much for the amazing feedback and support for HEY SAN PEDRO. It sounds like many of you are actually listening to the album in it's entirety. How very old school of ya! I'm flattered. This is how I also still enjoy records, so I'm glad it holds up all the way thru. Looking forward to April 24 when it comes out on I-TUNES, so our friends around the world can get a listen. I'll be performing in NYC on April 3 and at Gibson Seattle showroom on April 26, so come say hello!
Also, just confirmed that RUN RUN RUN will be performing in Riga, Latvia so all our Russian and European fans should maybe start looking at flights :) I am hoping to plan some solo acoustic shows in the UK and Moscow as well, and maybe another European stop or two if y'all have any ideas??? See you this Summer! COAST TO COAST
After 2 amazing weeks in NYC I'm back home in LA. Thanks to everyone who supported my first ever solo acoustic NYC show at the Living Room. Total Success! Ice Skating at Rockefeller Plaza after was fab, too! and special thanks to Herb Alpert and Lani Hall who took me along to help assist them at 10 sold out shows at the legendary Hotel Carlyle (favorite spot of JFK and Mick Jagger). I met all sorts of folks like Woody Allen, Clive Davis, Paul Shaffer and Will Lee from David Letterman's band, Tony Danza, Regis Philban, Dave from indie rocker band Ween, and even John Tesh. Finally got to go to the Statue of Liberty, new World Trade Center and memorial, visit Alexander Hamilton's grave at Trinity Church, walk through Central Park, visit the MET, and John Lennon's Strawberry Fields, and have the best cappuccino anywhere bar none at Via Quadronno on E 73rd street. Thanks BIG APPLE!
 JET SETTING
So its Saturday Feb 25 and I'm jumping on a private jet (not mine but shhh..don't tell Mr. Alpert) to head off to NYC for my first show out of Los Angeles to support the new record, HEY SAN PEDRO. I'll be at the Living Room in NYC on March 4. Thanks to everyone for helping to make this CD with a very successful Kickstarter campaign. Stay tuned for shows in NYC, Seattle, LA, San Diego, Houston and more! 2012 looking great so far...
