Charlie Paxson: word!!!!!!!!!

Hello everyone! It has been a while since my last update!

February 2011 marked the end of the Kyosuke Himuro Borderless Tour.
6 months/51 shows!. The DVD comes out later this month.

Soon after the tour ended Himuro invited me into the studio to record the benifeit single “If you want”. We have also been working on some recordings for Himuro’s new album.


I performed on American Idol with Enrique Iglesias (subbing for Van Romaine!)

I have been playing and recording with “Samantha Ronson and the Undertakers”. The Album is currently available on Itunes. I co-wrote track 7 “Promise”. Check it out here. http://itunes.apple.com/us/album/chasing-the-reds/id482237630
Here are a couple of songs including the title track "Chasing the Reds"

I have been playing with Liz Phair. Recently we performed in London. Here is a clip from a show At the Mountain Winery in Northern California.

Hello Everyone,  It's been a while! Here is some of what I've been up to this year!

 

First off, I am excited to say that I am about to embark on the KYOSUKE HIMURO "50x50 ROCK AND ROLL SUICIDE TOUR 2010/2011!"  I am very proud to have played drums on HIMURO'S new record "BORDERLESS". A few of the tracks were recorded with producer and awesome musician Alain Johannes. (For tour info and dates go here http://www.himuro.com/index.html )

 

Also, recently I have been doing some T.V. shows and concerts with Enrique Iglesias. Here we are having a BLAST on the George Lopez Show performing Enrique's latest single "I Like It". Check it out!

Earliar in the year I recorded Spanish Artist Antonio Carmona's new record.  I had the honor of working with Grammy and Emmy award winning producer and composer Gustavo Santaolalla. Here is the video for the first single "Bum Bum".

 

 

All of March I was touring in Australia with the great Colin Hay (Men at Work) in support of his newest release "American Sunshine". We played all over the country including a very inspired show at the Byron Bay Blues Festival. Colin has a DVD from our 2007 Australian tour "Colin Hay Live at The Corner Hotel" that has just been released. Check out the Trailer!

 

 

Just a few weeks ago I did a show with Five For Fighting in Chicago!

 

I played on track for my friend producer Tom Rothrock (Beck, James Blunt, Elliot Smith) who has been making some really cool club/house music lately.

 

And last but not least, Mylene Farmer's DVD "Stade de France" has been released. It was filmed in front of over 80,000 people!Here are a few clips:
