I was interviewed by CTV News today in Canada for this story about this international RoadTrek / HYMER / Thor Motor Coach scandal I have somehow found myself at the epicenter of.

Remember last summer when I toured the U.S. with Big Dipper and Conquistador? Well, a filmmaker named Runn Shayo was on tour with us, too — and he filmed all the best parts, which we have compiled into a sweaty, sexy, not-safe-for-work, romp of a music video for my new single “Radio Silent”!

As promised, here are some photos from our tour finale at Webster Hall in New York City this past week! Thank you to each of you who came out to support queer music this summer. It means a lot.

See you again soon, New York!

Well, Gino and I have just wrapped up the Pacific NW and East Coast legs of my summer tour with Big Dipper and Co. so I figured I would post some pictures! I will hold off on sharing all of the gritty details of what went down behind the scenes for now (gotta save something for the book), but I will say that we had a really great time performing for you all and we will definitely be back very soon! I am in love with Mississippi Studios and Chop Suey. You all are wonderful!!!

Photos from our NYC show at Webster Hall coming up later this week…

A lovely and talented filmmaker and performance artist named Run Shayo has been flying all over the United States with us every step of the way this summer for our tour, capturing the good moments (and the ugly ones) as we go. He is making a documentary about our experience together on this queer music tour and it is going to be J.U.I.C.Y. when it’s all said and done. I trust this man’s vision wholeheartedly, and if you don’t already know his work, you soon will.

We are flying to New York City tonight for the grand finale at Webster Hall this Friday night. See you there!

Here’s a teaser trailer for the tour (and the film) by Run Shayo:

I just picked up a copy of the current issue of Willamette Week and discovered that they picked my Portland show as one of their “Highly Recommended” events this week and included the following review of my new record, tour, return to music, etc. in print and online.

Thank you, Willy Week! I love love LOVE the hometown welcome I was given this week by the local press and community. Portland Monthly Magazine, The Portland Mercury, PQ Monthly and Willamette Week all picked the Portland stop on my summer tour as a must-do…which was such a treat! I’m blushing over all the gushing, Puddletown.  Thanks so much!!!

🙂

From Willamette Week (July 10th, 2013 Print Issue)

“[GLOW STICKS, BOAS AND CASIO DREAMS] Since announcing his “extended hiatus” from music in 2010, former Dandy Warhols protégé Logan Lynn stepped back from the corporate machine behind major-label breakthrough From Pillar to Post and joined the staff at local queer hub Q Center. A few years and a charity record later, the Portland electro-popper is back with Tramp Stamps and Birthmarks, a layered confection of shiny beats, blips and synths with more lyrical heft (“Hologram,” “Loud Enough”) than the average dance-floor soundtrack. Lynn is back on the road, too, thanks to the Accidental Bear Queer Music Benefit tour, a five-city bicoastal trek to support LGBT and related mental-health resources nationwide. Also on the disco-ball-begging bill: trippy glam rockers Conquistador and the hairy hip-hop of Chicago bear MC Big Dipper, which is most assuredly not a football thing.”

Thanks to Seattle Weekly for picking my show (this coming Sunday night) as one of their official things to do in Seattle this weekend! Check it out online HERE.

…and in other Seattle news, The Stranger is giving away tickets to the show on their site this week as well. Click HERE to enter and read what they have to say about our big, gay spectacle pulling into town.

See you on Sunday, Seattle!

Thank you to The Portland Mercury for featuring our PDX show (happening TOMORROW NIGHT – Thursday, July 11th) at Mississippi Studios as one of your picks for “Busy Week” in the current issue which hit stands today!

See you tomorrow night, Puddletown!

From The Portland Mercury:

“THURSDAY, JULY 11 – QUEER—You won’t know what hit you: the Accidental Bear Queer Music Summer Tour is about to shimmy its way through Portland, offering queer music from filthy gay rapper Big Dipper, dapper pop craftsman Logan Lynn, and much more. Best of all, each show on the tour raises money for LGBTQ mental health services and suicide prevention—tonight’s show benefits Q Center in Portland. NL
w/Conquistador, Rica Shay, Darling Gunsel; Mississippi Studios, 3939 N Mississippi, 8 pm, $15”

Huge thanks to our tour sponsors Manhunt.com and the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence, Inc. – and to Rowan Wren for taking the photo for this poster!

I’m back in Portland for a few days midway through our summer tour and figured I would tell you things about the first leg of shows!

The tour kicked-off in San Francisco at Beatbox on Friday night and was great. I heard after the show that one of my all-time musical heroes Bob Mould had asked the tour organizer the day before what time I was performing and then he came to the show! So awesome.

Of course, this also means that Bob got to see me knock both of my bottles of water off of a stool and onto the stage during a song, where they began pouring out into a rat’s nest of wires surrounding me. In an act of quick-thinking, fancy footwork, I repurposed my green LaCoste face towels (which Gino and I use to keep the sweat from blinding us on stage) and used one foot to mop it up while I sang the opening of our next song. It was pretty special. Here’s to not getting publicly electrocuted on stage in SF!

Here are some photos from that show:

On Sunday we played at Los Globos in Los Angeles and had a really special time with all of you there as well! I fucking LOVE LA.

Thank you to Gino Mari and Michael Brillig for designing my live show and to Gino especially for being on the road with me and getting me from point A to point B every step of the way!

We’ll be in Portland on Thursday, Seattle on Sunday, and the grand finale in New York City on July 19th! See you again soon, California.

I was interviewed by PQ Monthly this past week about my summer tour, and this Thursday’s Portland show at Mississippi Studios. Have a gander at the original on the PQ site HERE, or just keep reading below…

From PQ Monthly, July 2013:

Now that July 4th has come and gone, you can start planning for July 11th–that’s the date the tour with the longest official title ever–Accidental Bear Queer Music Tour Benefit for LGBTQ Mental Health Services and Suicide Prevention–descends upon our fair city. The lineup is almost as long as the name–it includes Big Dipper, Logan Lynn, and Rica Shay to name a few–and that’s a very good thing for lovers of music everywhere. (You can check out the entire lineup here.) We had a chance to chat with local music-maker Logan Lynn, who also helps head up Q Center, just before he headed out on tour–we talked un-retiring retirement, tour preparation, the mass of talent assembled for this very good cause, and queer mental health services.

PQ Monthly: You’ve talked lots about the tour prep–and the rigorous schedule involved. Aside from working your ass off, what’s been the best, most rewarding thing about all this so far?

Logan Lynn: Yeah, it’s a lot of work to make a tour happen, and I have Read the rest of this entry »

The kick-off show for my summer tour kicks off TOMORROW NIGHT (Friday, July 5th) in San Francisco and we’ve had a lot of love from bay area press this week! Check it out below by clicking on the publication names.
