I'm Alive October 30th @ Tun

Hey everyone.. I just wanted to get this video of our song I'm Alive posted on here. You can expect to see updates on my blog now @ least 2wice a week.

My Lovely Lady Escaped With A Chinaman.

Family, Friends, Fans, and Loved ones,


Honestly I don't know where to start so I guess I'll start with the bad news. My guitar escaped from me yesterday in a taxi cab. I exited the cab then answered my phone and turned around and the taxi was already driving away with my girlfriend (the guitar) still inside. We spent the night waiting outside hoping the taxi cab would return with my lover, and we filed a report with the police and are still doing everything possible to try to get her back.

As you all know I am currently in China playing music in a Band with my good friend Kris Liu. We currently make less than one hundred dollars a week playing two gigs a week, but we have a try out tomorrow that pays well so when that goes good as it will we will be looking a little better come Sept. comes. I found a guitar I can borrow for tomorrow night but after that I must find a guitar as we have shows every Friday and Saturday Night.

I have been very lucky to be able to pursue my dreams of playing my music throughout the world up to this point and I won't let this setback stop me. I am asking for your help in sending me forward on my Journey. I need to purchase a guitar ASAP and I can't do it without you.
I've created a PayPal Donations Account and am asking everyone I know for Donations in whatever amount they can afford.

To donate go to the top right or the bottom of this page and click on the Donate button.

Thank you everyone for your love and support of my music and my dreams. I look forward to seeing all of you @ a show again someday soon.

Peace and Love to all of you,




Michael Dallin

The Rain Came

Oh the colors of the night and the rain how it came.
Now it's gone but its damage and its victory still remain.
Oh the colors of the the water as it clings to all the leaves.
And the light inside the drops it glistens like a diamond of the queen.
Oh who am I to wonder why this diamond shines her light on me?
And who are you to tell a man he can't live in a dream?

Open Mic, and Eurocup finals all in one long night!

Playin some tunes @ Lush Open Mic. on the 29th of june.

The Spain Germany Eurocup final Match. Spain - 1 Germany - 0

this match started @ 3 am Beijing time and look how packed Pyro Pizza was. Good times!




I was actually going for Germany since Spain knocked out Italy, but I didn't get what I wanted this time. Spain certainly played better Ball.

"Set Me Free"

Here's a video with music from one of my new songs "Set Me Free". I wrote this song while sitting in the park one morning around 4 A.M. Something spoke to my soul that morning and by 5 A.M. the song was finished. No guitar, No strings, just me and the birds and the trees and the winds whispering their sweet songs to me.

I just used windows movie maker for the first time and for some reason the sound quality ended up a bit poor. Enjoy!

What happens on the off nights???

I just figured I'd give you guys just a little insight and maybe a few pics of what goes on in the late night hours that I'm not somewhere Rocking the Mic.

This is just a couple hundred feet outside of our apartment complex and still barely inside our gated community we live in. You'll find a kabob guy just about everywhere you go in Beijing. Kabob's are a popular late night food here and you can order anything from Cartilage to Lamb Penis. Yeah really... I said Lamb Penis, and NO I haven't tried it and I don't plan on it. I usually order just plain old Lamb, but at times I do go a little crazy and eat some Heart or Tendon.

This night was actually about a month and a half ago and I went with my roommate Cameron to get some Kabob's around midnight. What we thought was going to be a quick outing for some kabob turned into a long night of eating and drinking with all these Chinese guys. They kept on buying us more and more til we were about to explode...

Gotta love the Chinese!!!

Michael Dallin's BlogSpot has Begun.

Today or should I say tonight I will begin to bring you a more detailed update of my adventures as a Musician, Artist, Poet, and Person. I am currently living in Beijing China where my band Bad Apples is currently on Tour.In April of 2008 I jumped on a plane with my band mate Kris Liu, and nothing to my name to see what we could do with our Rock N' Roll tunes in Beijing, China's very new and alive music scene. In just 2 weeks we added 2 musicians to the band. Da Chuan on Bass and Wang Yung on Drums.
We began to practice then and haven't stopped since. We've really found our grove and we are only getting better with the time. We are currently Rocking Beijing on a bi-weekly basis and will soon be taking the band outside of Beijing to share our music with other parts of China and as soon as possible the rest of the world. My dream is to share my music, and a message of Peace, Love, and Harmony with the world while doing so. With this new blogspot I hope to bring my friends, fans and loved ones closer to me and the adventures that are my life.
