Go! Koo's! Scott in Athens, GA is nice Scallen... Wicked. Simon's Rock College has no TV.

Hello, my name is Atom. I write songs on a few music sequencers and synthesizers (stupidly named 'the package' a long time ago) and the guitar. Enjoy.  While the email list isn't too active, there is occasional stuff.  Feel free to sign up here. 

I have a twitter thing, though I have yet to use it.  If you know what 'following' is and want to do it, go here (I think). 

Some friends and I will be playing a series of
shows as 'TV Casualty' where we'll be performing songs by a different band at each
show.  All proceeds will be donated to a local Philadelphia non-profit
.  

We just did a show in Philadelphia at Kung Fu Necktie on Sunday, July 25th, 2010.  At this one, we did the Ramones, and Rodney Anonymous from the Dead Milkmen, sang!  

All proceeds benefit http://www.wissahickoncharter.org/ .

Here's a clip of some songs:

Our first
thing was on Halloween where we played two sets of Misfits songs...
Here's a link to all the videos. http://www.youtube.com/DNZGDYLE

All proceeds from this show benefitted The People's Emergency Center in Philadelphia (http://www.pec-cares.org/ )

 

 Our line up from this show included
Chris Wilson from Ted Leo & the Pharmacists, Andy Nelson from Paint It
Black and more, Brian Sokel from Franklin, Ted Leo from Chris Wilson &
the Pharmacists and me.  

I have a myspace page for this stuff too.  I am so 2002.
The web page you are looking at was updated last on 11/8/2009.

Atom & His Package played its final show in Philadelphia on August 29th, 2003. I can't thank the folks who have attended or helped out with shows, or communicated or been friendly or let me sleep on their floor over the last seven years enough. I appreciate it more than you know. Thank you. I've truly had a wonderful time.

Thanks for your interest. 

There is a CD, including a bonus DVD of the last Atom and His Package show out now on Hopeless Records called Atom and His Package 'Hair: Debatable'. On the bonus DVD is the show in its entirety, documentaries and videos. I think it turned out really well. It is available for $10 ($12.50 for int'l orders) here.

A few folks put together some neato flash videos for a few songs. If you're interested in checking them out, click here and scroll down.

Also, I'm playing in a band called Armalite. We are playing a few shows in the near future. Click Armalite for info. If you're on the email list, I'll keep you posted about all this stuff.

If you're interested, I wrote an article for the music issue of the Philadelphia City Paper consisting of 11 Tips for Touring Bands. Click here to check it out.  But please keep in mind about Grand Rapids, MI... Derek from there reports: it now has "a thriving music scene, a communal arts scene, neighborhoods being rebuilt and (smart) young people in charge of the city’s growth.  I think that just as we’ve all brightened our view of our own city, we need touring bands and visiting individuals to also understand that we are no longer a shithole that should be overlooked."

By the way.  The Atom and His Package P.O. Box is now closed.  You can reach me at:
