For those of you who missed our interview and acoustic performance on AM1690 earlier this week, here it is in streaming glory!
AM1690 Performance 05.12.10Big thanks go out to Neal Cohen for hosting us in his studio, and AM1690 for putting our racket on the airwaves!
Our new album “Gesture of a Gentleman” is officially finished and will be ready for us to start sharing online later this week. The album contains 13 new songs and clocks in at almost exactly 1 hour. For the initial 250 copies, there will be 50 copies each of 5 different covers; below is one of the covers:
The album will first be available at our CD Release show at the Star Bar on May 15, and then in stores and online the next week.
Speaking of our CD Release show…. We are thrilled that our good friend ADRON has agreed to join us for the show! She will play an extended set, and then we will play for a good long while as well.
That’s right, our CD release show is officially scheduled:
A Fight to the Death celebrate the release of “The Gesture of a Gentleman”
Presented by Team Luis
The Star Bar, Atlanta
Saturday, May 15, 2010
Lineup TBA
If you were one of the kind folks who joined our Kickstarter.com project last year, then you will get your hands on the disc much earlier, but to everyone else…May 15th is your first chance. It will then be available in local stores and the usual online outlets the following week.
More info soon!
Wow, what a night. Our second-annual Holiday Blowout was an absolute blast, and with the exception of a few production-related hiccups, it went off without a hitch! Also, the final tally isn’t finished yet, but it appears that we almost DOUBLED the amount of cash we raised for the Food Bank last year. NICE!
First off, huge thanks go out to all of the performers from the evening. We were absolutely thrilled with Telegram’s long-overdue return to the stage, and the fact that the always-wonderful Kitty Snyder joined them onstage was just icing on the musical cake! And even though the drunken revelry of others in the room threatened to drown them out, Adron, Old Custer, Blair Crimmins, Lera Lynn, and Daniel Clay all performed their holiday songs beautifully. And big ups to the Judi Chicago boys for keeping the party going into the night with a perfectly-paced DJ set.
We are truly proud to count the best musicians in this town amongst our friends.
We’d definitely be remiss if we didn’t thank Malissa Sole of 4th Ward Heroes for her promotional and organizational help – hell, I think she Twittered and Facebooked about the show more than we did!
And most definitely we must thank the Highland Ballroom crew for so generously allowing us to commandeer their venue once again this year – Mega, Josh, Val, Adam, and Mary were as accommodating as humanly possible and we appreciate it more than we can say.
Last but not least we want to thank our wonderful friends, family, and fans for not only supporting our band, but also for joining us in our support of the Food Bank. You guys really make all the hard work worthwhile!
See you all in 2010…
For those of you that missed it yesterday, WRAS 88.5 in Atlanta was kind enough to have us down to their studios for an interview. Mark and CJ sat down with the always-awesome Adam Bomb to discuss our upcoming Holiday show, our new LP, and other random stuff. Big thanks to WRAS for having us!

WRAS Interview 12.16.09Just a reminder that our Holiday 2009 CD single will be available ONLY at our 12/19 show- we only have 50 of these bad boys, so its first-come first-served! They look great (if we do say so ourselves!), so if you want one…you know what to do!
We have finalized the lineup for our second-annual Holiday fundraiser for the Atlanta Community Food Bank! The show will take place on Dec 19th at the Highland Ballroom and will feature a ton of our favorite musicians in town. Check out the poster below for the full list of performers, and head on over to Facebook to RSVP to the show!
Our egos were gently stroked today as we were named as the Runner-Up for “Best International Act” in Creative Loafing‘s annual Best of Atlanta issue. Nice!

Also, we had an absolutely killer time playing with all the great bands of the OtherSound Festival on Saturday. Here’s a nice pic from the night, courtesy of Chris Awwesome:
