Here Comes “Gesture of a Gentleman”

April 26, 2010

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.

Holiday Show Wrap-Up

December 21, 2009

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…

What a Night!

June 27, 2009

UPDATE: Photographer extraordinaire Kevin Griggs has posed a set of pics from the show on his Flickr page HERE.

After a long day full of dead celebrities, war & protests overseas, the tanking economy, and other such bad news…it was very nice to party our asses off with a room full of drinking, dancing, screaming friends and fans last night (6/25)! Our show at the Star Bar with Adron, Royal Bangs, and Lindsay Appel was an absolute blast; the crowd was large, sweaty, and of questionable sobriety. All of the bands on the bill had styles very different from one another, and there were no weak links – each band was at the top of their game!!

I suspect that this here site will get a handful of first-time visitors as a result, so to all of you newbies…WELCOME! Check the menu to the right for all the many ways you can harass us and follow us around!

I’m told that the always-wonderful OhmPark.com will have photos from the show up soon, and I’ll be sure to link them here whenever they pop up.
