Come help us celebrate the release of Nostalgia! We’ll be playing at IOTA Club and Cafe on Saturday night, May 18th 2013.
The show at Empire has been cancelled, but now we can join Juniper Lane at one of our favorite venues! Doors open at 9pm. We take the stage at 11:30pm and will play until they kick us out. Plenty of time to wrap up your dinner and raise the roof!
Friday, Feb 8th we’ll be back at one of our favorite venue’s Jammin Java in Vienna, Virginia. Doors open at 9pm, so come on out and hang with the band!
We are co-headlining with the awesome Derek Evry after a moving set from Tommy Gann (accompanied by our buddy John Athayde from Juniper Lane!)
Hope to see you there!
It’s been awhile since we’ve given you an update, so there’s a lot to catch up on. Let’s jump right in!
Line up Changes
First up is to introduce the world to our new lead guitarist; Eudes Giovanni Hernandez. We posted a few weeks ago that Dennis is moving on and we were starting the search for a new guitarist. Lucky for us, we crossed paths with Gio in short order and couldn’t be happier!
Gio brings a world of influences and experience – literally – as you can see from his full bio below. His style, tones, and sensibility are melding right in with the rest of the crew. We are very excited to see how our sound will develop with his unique talents.
Show time!
We are starting to book shows now that album production is coming to a close (more about that in a bit). Your first chance to see Gio and the rest of the gang will be at one of our favorite venues – Jammin Java in Vienna, Virginia.
We’re headlining a full night of music on November 26th as part of the @JamnJavaDoorGal’s LOCAL SCENE. Show starts at 7:00pm where we’ll be joined by Sam Grow, The 27s, Liberty Empire, and Simone & the Spectrum. Entry is $13 night of the show, but you can buy advance tickets for just $10!
We can’t wait to share new songs, as well as play some of your favorites! Look out for details on the new album in a few days. Subscribe to the mailing list to make sure you don’t miss a beat!
A bit more about Gio
Eudes Giovanni is a musician, composer, and singer born in San Juan, Puerto Rico where he started singing and playing guitar at the age of 12. His playing style is defined by his exposure to different cultural and world experiences. It includes genres as Latin, Lounge, Bossa Nova, Flamenco, Tango, Reggae, Hip Hop, Jazz, Funk, Nu-Metal, Electronica, Nueva Trova, R&B, Soul and Classical music.
He started playing in different festivals and local venues in Puerto Rico. From there it escalated to local radio stations and local musical scene TV shows and networks like MTV Puerto Rico.
Gio has appeared in various demos, compilation albums, and short film soundtracks for local cinema film makers. His varied exposure to music styles led him to become a multi-instrumentalist and helped him develop a versatile playing style which is musically presented as layers of experimental global sounds combined to form an eccentric musical canvas.
We are proud to announce that we will be playing another breast cancer benefit show. This outing at the Hard Rock Cafe in Washington, DC supporting The Niki Barr Band
Come on out, hear some of the new songs that will be on the next album, and glory in Chooch’s manly beard and Phil’s man mane (while it lasts)!
Sadly, we have had to cancel our appearance at this years Intervention due to scheduling conflicts. Apologies to attendees that were going to come to the show as well as the Intervention organizers.
Chooch will still be speaking on technical and audio panels. You can see the schedule on his blog. He will have CDs with him for sale if you are attending and haven’t gotten your copy yet.
We hope to be able to play at Intervention 2012!
