ALL AGES New Support Drummer

ALL AGES New Support Drummer 5/11- 5/20 (2011)

All Ages would like to thank Masa "The Machine" Kaida for his 9 month support with us. This post is about a month late. We wish Masa well while he pursues his own interests in Tokyo and continues his career as a professional drummer in Japan. Good luck Masa!

For the past 3 shows and for our show finale in Tokyo (all Sold Out shows) we have had the pleasure of working with our good friend Kenta Tochio. He is a drummer from Osaka and has been working with the band OFF ROCK. We asked him on short notice to support our tour with Noodles and he was quick to respond. We've never had such an astute and dedicated drummer and even though we've only been playing for two weeks together, he has brought a new life to All Ages that Tom and I have truly missed.

Our last show is this Friday in Tokyo @ LOFT opening for The Pillows and featuring Noodles and Bugy Craxone… after this show Tom and I will return to San Francisco to begin work on our 2nd Album and to rejoin our staff @ Shameless Self Productions to continue our 9-5 projects… (more like 9-9)...

This past year has been difficult and we truly want to thank the three drummers who supported us during this time and allowed All Ages to continue on in good fashion… So, thanks Josh, Masa, and Tochio.

We are excited to say we have made leaps in our expectations because of this tour and All Ages will be around for a long long time… until the next post… Peace, Love and Rock and Roll.

3/20 Back in the US

I just got back to the US from Japan. Tom will be back in the next few days, and Masa is in Tokyo with his family. Shameless Self Records and Hyper Raje Records will be holding a benefit/fundraiser show at some point in April with musical guests, and a live theater group. We'll announce everything soon. Thanks for all the kind words on Facebook.

New Drummer and the Fast Track

All Ages would like to thank Josh Friedberg for his efforts with All Ages. Josh filled in as drummer from January-June of 2010 playing limited live shows and demoing songs in the studio. We congratulate Josh for being accepted to Columbia College of music in Chicago, where he will continue to pursue his career. Good luck Josh! We are sorry to lose you.

However, All Ages is extremely happy to announce that Masa Kaida has joined All Ages as drummer. Masa created much of the drums and performed on "A New Kind of Citizen" (Out August 1st) and will perform for the extensive tour beginning in late August. Masa is a recent graduate of M.I. in L.A. which is pretty awesome! Masa will be joining All Ages in Boston for rehearsals beginning August 1st.

We have secured a great studio and team of supporters here on the East Coast and look forward to a quick jump in our action.

All Ages song "Let's Stay United" has been selected for licensing. Details to come.
