Hope you enjoy! Stay warm, and psssst you'll probably wanna check out the new Sun Cut Flat album ... it's real good.

New Song from Allison for Halloween!

Lyrics:

soggy city, all the sidewalks stained with beer
sparkle with glass to shine and cut the soles of your bare feet
drunken vampires are stumbling from their castles
and howling at the werewolves in the street

i must have been half dead before you found me
to throw your arms around me, and cut the ties that bound me
it must have been a million lives away
to think that we could take it, to hope we could be saved

some will stay, and some will go
their hazy smiles that hurt my throat
bending backwards and it shows, and it shows
i could leave, or i could try
'stead of waiting, wondering why
watchin' space between us growing, and it grows
and it grows and it grows and it grows

light is leaving you, your eyes are sinking in now
the sun is setting underneath your skin
i could keep every dark secret like a memory
but you're too scared to change and let me in

it must have been the darkness of the seasons
the heat inside the summer, the hate inside the reasons
i must have been one thousand winters younger
to think i'd find the answers somewhere new

bats are flying now through every broken window
searchin for a stranger for the night
someone's crying cos their lover left them lonely
and told them that it's gonna be alright

some will stay, and some will go
their hazy smiles that hurt my throat
bending backwards and it shows, and it shows
i could leave, or i could try
'stead of waiting, wondering why
watchin' space between us growing, and it grows

and it grows and it grows and it grows
and it grows and it grows and it grows
we all want to pretend we don't know
but it grows and it grows and it grows


Hope you like it!

Nick Lattanzi + New Project/Album

Hey everyone, 

I thought I'd let you guys know about the new music that I've been working on this summer. My good friend Issac Hasselkorn and I are currently recording an album together, and we're calling the project Sun Cut Flat. We've been going for a consistent sound, and so far we're very proud of what we've been able to record. I would describe the songs as heavily layered and very dense; its basically an album for headphones. We are halfway done, so it should be finished sometime in the fall. We're going to play a lot of shows once we put the album out, so check back for news and updates!

PS: Allison Francis is rumored to be making an epic guest appearance on the album, but this is yet to be confirmed

New Song + Updates from Allison

Hey friends,

I've been hanging out in Portland writing music and playing shows at venues such as Muddy Waters Coffeehouse and Three Friends, both in Southeast Portland. I've been spending a lot of time with my guitar, Pearl, in the green grass which helps me think, write, and not think. I've got a couple upcoming gigs scheduled:

Saturday, July 25th @ Proper Eats (8638 N. Lombard Ave)
7 p.m. with my friends Erica Russo and Felecia & the Dinosaur
Saturday, August 8th @ Proper Eats (vegan friendly, typical Portland)
7 p.m. with Erica Russo and Felecia and the Dinosaur
Saturday, August 15th @ Twin Paradox Coffeehouse (8609 SE 17th Ave)
8 p.m. with Erica Russo

Stay tuned, there may be more (out of state?) dates to come! If all goes well, Rapper Steph and DJ Supersillyus of Base Trip will roadtrip from L.A. to Portland to rock the Pacific Northwest.

Here's a video of my new song that I recorded today:



Hope you're all well.
Lots of love.

The Gig is Coming! The Gig is Coming!

Greetings, friends! I hope you're enjoying your summer, playing kickball, taking naps, and licking runaway ice cream off your arms and the arms of your loved ones. I'm gearing up for a hometown show in New York City! For anyone in the area, I'll be playing a 45-minute set at Arlene's Grocery on the Lower East Side on Sunday, July 26th. The set starts at 8:00 and if you tell them you came to see me, I get paid part of the price of your ticket! Yay! I promise a rollicking good time (I've been practicing my banter...)

Here's the link to Arlene's Grocery. Hope to see you there!

Also, I've made a teeny bit of merchandise based on my two most recent albums. I have stickers and a poster available for sale on zazzle. Here's a link to that: http://www.zazzle.com/my/products/public

Happy listening, and happy summer!
