The Cog is Dead

CANADA! In 2026 Professor Elemental and I are coming to Ontario for a special two-night run of shows at @cogsandclockwork in Fergus!

As many of you know, I'm not currently touring or booking shows, but this is a very rare appearance that has been in talks for a few years and I'm so thrilled to visit Canada for the very first time! So GET READY, ONTARIO! The Professor and I shall see you in precisely one year!

EDIT: I posted this to the wrong channel, but I'll leave it up.

Testing out another Ninja Creami copycat recipe: Moose Tracks! This pint has HALF the calories of regular Moose Tracks ice cream and barely any sugar! The video is still a few months out, but stay tuned! This and other recipes are shared on my other channel The Cog is SHRED: youtube.com/@TheCogIsShred

Today is the 10 year anniversary of our very first time at Wild Wild West Con! It was also the very first show with Bradley on bass. And our first time meeting/performing with Steam Powered Giraffe and Professor Elemental. I remember being nervous about approaching both performers, but quickly learned they are some of the nicest, most relatable people, and in the future we collaborated with both acts and have had many exciting adventures in the years that followed! Playing on the stage of that old western saloon at Old Tucson still remains one of my all-time favorite places we've played. There was always something really special about that event and all the people there. Every trip out west felt like a magical adventure!

LET'S GET WEIRD! Today is the one year anniversary of the release of the song and music video for The Cog is Dead's song "Weird!" An ADHD anthem and general celebration of weirdness and being different. It's the most personal song I've ever written, and one that I am happy to share with you all. I was a weird kid who was made fun of for being weird. Now I'm a weird adult and I embrace it and I'm thankful for everyone else who appreciates the weirdness! Don't feel ashamed if you're weird, we're all a little bit weird!

OK, I have to make a confession. Here's the REAL reason I've been losing weight. I'm hoping to get cast as "Weird Al" Yankovic in the inevitable biopic sequel - WEIRD 2: YANK HARDER. 😂
