Quick 2010 update

Wow, 2009 happened. Here’s a quick update:

I’m nearly done with my new album, tentatively titled “Women of a Certain Age.”

I’m going to shoot a new video for the first single “Terry Richardson” with Roderick Fenske who also directed my video for “Sweet and Vicious.”

I’ll be playing at SXSW in Austin March 17-20, then off to France for a short tour in early April (dates so far in Toulouse, Bordeaux, Nantes and Paris.)

Also planning some shows on the west coast after that, including one at with Nite Jewel and Sugar and Gold in S.F. at Bottom of the Hill on April 29, 2010.

(I’m still posting gig dates and details at myspace.com/luxxury until that miserable, user-unfriendly and spam-ridden site officially destroys itself.)

I’ve been working on a lot of other projects in LA, including producing and co-writing with Bullet&Snowfox, we’re working on more songs in preparation for their first live shows starting next month (for which I’ll be playing bass).

Also, a song I cowrote with Bonnie McKee and Jesse Owen Astin was featured on CSI Miami the other day, watch it here.

Last but not least, my friend Nick (from Sugar and Gold) and I started a side project called Falsetto. Look for the first single “San Francisco Nights” on vinyl with some dope remixes from Loose Shus, Johnatron and more in the Spring…

P.S. Here’s a mix I did last month called “DISCO WORKOUT PRESENTS: “2009 WAS AN OK YEAR.” A MIX BY BARON VON LUXXURY”.

Spanish Disco Mixx

Click below for an awesome article about moi and an exclusive mix I did for Spain’s Playground magazine:

Un Mix de Synthpop Sophistiqué pour les Oreilles Cosmopolitains

“Os presentamos a Baron Von Luxxury, productor, DJ y bloguero incombustible de Disco Workout. Su más reciente remix a Little Boots nos llamó tanto la atención que no pudimos evitar preguntarle a qué sonaría pasar unas vacaciones con él mientras cubría las residencias que tiene en un par de clubes de Los Ángeles y San Francisco. Este podcast es una fiesta encapsulada especial para Playground titulada “Un Mix de Synthpop Sophistiqué pour les Oreilles Cosmopolitains”. Ni más ni menos. ”
