Scott Andrew - lo-fi acoustic pop superhero!

I leaked a fourth track from Save You From Yourself to the web yesterday. It’s the new version of Holding Back.

I’m curious what you’ll think of it. The original version was always meant to be just a demo, with a “real” version to be recorded later. Of course, I didn’t intend “later” to mean “four years later.” It’s by far the most popular song I’ve written to date (in terms of spins, scrobbles, iTunes money, etc.)

The Startup Weekend gig was pretty awesome. If you didn’t catch it before, it’s an event where a group of techie and bizdev people come together, brainstorm a business idea, then actually develop it and launch it within a weekend. I have to admit that I felt seriously nervous about pulling people away from their coding and bizdev-ing to watch lil’ ol’ me belt out a few tunes sans microphone, but it they turned out to be a really great crowd.

Update: Here’s the business they built that weekend (daaaamn), and here’s a Flickr set of the event, including some photos of yours truly.

Thanks to Andrew, Samantha and Kym for setting me up with that one.

In other news, Jerin and I looked into doing a week-long East Coast tour in June. A tour! Exciting! And then she ran the numbers and we had a good laugh. Even with cheap plane tickets and crashing on the couches of accommodating fans, there’s very little chance we’d break even.

Heck, if I wanted to go broke, I can do that at home! So, for the moment, no East Coast tour. But I remain hopeful that I might be able to pull something together later this year. So please allow me to pimp my Eventful widget yet again, as a gentle reminder that if you’d like to see me play in our lifetimes, letting me know you’re out there is a good first step.
