Co-Writing
Posted 1/15/2010

I've recently co-written a couple of tunes with other writers that I believe to be stellar songs.

"Spellbound" is a Disney Pop/Teen song. It was co-written with Emmy Winning writer, Michele Vice-Maslin of Sweetersongs in Los Angeles. Michele has a single currently on Disney Radio. This was a lot of fun to write.

"Just Like That" was co-written with Jess McEntire out of Nashville. Jess is currently finishing up on a project on Route 66, The Mother Road that he completed with Loretta Lynn. This song is a touching country ballad in the vein of Rascal Flatts that we're looking to have demo'd in the next few months here. Writing with Jessie came easy. Jessie presented me with some beautiful lyrics to work with and I put some melodies on it. We went back and forth by email and within 2 weeks, the song was done and it's a star.

Jetpack Armada

Consisting of former members of Innertune, Jetpack Armada is rocking audiences around Orange County, CA with energetic sets, distinguished 3 and 4 part harmonies, poignant lyrics, and memorable hooks. We've only played a few shows but we're having fun and the crowd is responding... This is a fun project I'm passionate about that looks to be long term....The band currently stands strong with an armada of 7 players. Find Jetpack Armada on www.myspace.com/jetpackarmada

Happy 2010!!! Good Things to come...
Posted 1/15/2010

Happy New Year all! 2010 is here. I have a list of resolutions taped to my file cabinet, the main one being balancing work and music with family. It looks to be a promising start of the decade. I have new songs, a new band, and a new film called Three Veils that I'm supervising (as Jody Friedman) that should hit festivals this year. The film was directed by Rolla Selbak and produced by Ahmad Zahra...and who says Jews and Arabs couldn't get along...eh?? The film should finish post-production in the next few months. It's turning out to be a very good film and we're excited for all to see..

R.I.P. INNERTUNE
Posted 06/23/2009

We had a lot of fun playing together for the last two years, but sadly Innertune has decided to call it splits. No, it is not because of the gig we had at Split's bowling alley, but we just want to try new things. Thank you to everyone who supported the band and came out for a lot of drunken nights at J. King Neptune's, Coconuts, OC Fair, B.B. Kings, and for that one hippy dude at Totally Coffee - you rock! Thanks to all - it was fun!

- Jody, Trevor, Brian, and Joe
