About
Hi! How about you go to StateShirt.com. It's nice.
Hi, I'm State Shirt. I live in Los Angeles, CA and spend as much time as I can writing and recording music. Sometimes it's real hard to do that while living my alternate, monotonous life in front of a desk doing nerd shit. But I try to keep the music going. If you can help me, I'd like to be able to spend more of my life making music, and less of my life in front of a desk. How about you buy my CDs! Choose your own price, or even download my songs for free. Thanks for your suport!
New album (This is Old) coming 11.11.08! Pre-order the new album now!
State Shirt sculpts fiery, intense indie rock anthems for the wondering, wandering and hopeful.
Venturing wildly into the farthest corners of heavy-hearted American landscapes, State Shirt's music displays vivid, gripping stories of nostalgia, despair and hope. From Southern California's droning and faceless San Fernando Valley to the snowy back roads of Western Massachusetts. Steeped in a cycle of inescapable, mind-numbing full-time jobs, State Shirt relies on hand-built loops, neglected instruments and riveting vocals to artfully describe captivity in a familiar never-ending cycle: work, drink, sleep, repeat.
But, through it all, a glimmer of hope shines.
From a modest bedroom sanctuary devoted to writing and recording, sparkles of surreal, melancholic melodies bubble up. Voltage runs through a collection of dusty pedals, guitars and electronics to deliver This Is Old, State Shirt's deeply textured second album, a set of swirling and burning indie-tronic statements proving that monotonous lives can produce exceptional results.

New song. Kitchen rehearsal.
I've been playing around with a new live setup that includes a couple drums and keyboards, as well as guitar and my usual effects and looper pedals. I just wrote this song yesterday, still not 100% sure on the song title yet. I set up all of my crap in the kitchen and …

No remixing. Rare interview with David Lee Roth by Steven Colbert.
Ok. I'll admit, I was a little bit bored this evening. Steven's interview with creative commons czar Lawrence Lessig inspired me to do a bit of remixing on my own. Although this particular remix may not technically be legal depending on how you look at it. Originals are …
