More Minotaur Mini-Tour Footage - Full Color Hi Res
June 12, 2010

More evidence. I took the opportunity to spruce up the audio a bit in post.



Mini-Tour Success, P.R.&.D. lurches back to life, 'Home' Video
May 1, 2010

Thanks to everyone who came out for the shows in March! Here's a short clip of me at Giant Robot in SF. Thanks to JPC for the clip.


In other news, I'm going to do my best to keep this podcast going on a monthly (rather than semi-monthly) basis. To that end, I put up a remix of Photo Sans Nom that's going on her self-released album, Shining, Shimmering, Splendid (link goes to full album stream).

Finally, check out the Video section for a Reginald Buckson masterpiece for a song from my upcoming album, Secession in Astropolis. Party on, Wayne!

West Coasters can look forward to the Kx train rolling through next weekend.


NYC Show, Kite Operations Remix and 'Secession' Update
November 2, 2009

If you're in NYC, I'm going to be playing my first show in over two years on 11/21 at Matchless. Here's the sweet flyer (designed by Jack Tung who is also playing). Swing by and say hello!

I worked on a remix of a track from Kite Operations' new album "Festival." You can check it out on the podcast links to the left. Though if you subscribed to the podcast, you'd already have it. Hint hint.

'Secession in Astropolis' has a finalized tracklist and some amazing artwork. We want to do justice to the release so you probably won't see it until next year. But you know what they say, "Pain is temporary art is forever." It'll be good, seriously.


'SECESSION in ASTROPOLIS' Out 2009 on "Actually, Records."
April 17th, 2009

The third full-length from Jon Monteverde's XYZR_KX moniker is now being mixed and should be ready for release later this year. More news and mp3 samples coming soon!




Pronounced 'Scissor Kicks', XYZR_KX is Jon Monteverde, Chicago-based indie-rock/electro-pop wunderguy. With this project, Monteverde redefines the boundaries of the traditional pop song by simultaneously incorporating hushed vocals, serrated guitars, and chaotic beats.


"One-man band Jon Monteverde includes a cast of contributors in his latest indie-electronica opus, which ranges in sound from metal-machine free jazz to Star Wars droids talking to ambient sounds off the street to what might be acoustic Tropicalia. It's hard to pin down Monteverde into any genre, but the one constant is his vocals. When he chooses to sing, he shows the same delicacy as Ben Gibbard and the same soul as Tae Won Yu. Enigmatic yet pleasing."
- Giant Robot

"More passion than purity, more brash than composed, the sound… explodes out of the speakers."
- Grooves Magazine

"Essential lo-fi bliss for anyone sick of cloying emo lyrics and cut-up juxtaposition."
- Illinois Entertainer

"Quietly earnest folk-pop, narcoleptic electronica... jaw-dropping power."
- Splendid Magazine
