Howdy everyone! Welcome to our new blog...The band and I are gearing up for some big things, so I decided it was probably a good idea to start blog to keep all of our lovely and loyal fans up on whats going on with us.
For those of you who don't know...We have been accepted to perform in not one, but two showcases down in Austin, TX during the time of South by Southwest. SXSW is one of the biggest live music festivals anywhere. Tons of unsigned talent gets discovered at this festival every year. From what I hear the city of Austin is absolutely flooded by hundreds of thousand of people...so naturally WE ARE SUPER EXCITED!
This all started because of our wonderful and most talented friend Kalu James. Kalu used to be a fellow Rochester musician of ours, until one day he decided that Austin was callin' his name. With his good word and a little luck we got into the Irie Bean and Coffee Bar on March 19. Everyone should check out his music who hasn't heard it already @ www.kalujames.com
The next gig we got is one that I had submitted a press kit for about two months ago. I saw an ad for a showcase looking for bands during SXSW so I decided I'd give it a go....crossing my fingers and hoping it might lead to something...last week we found out the good news that we will be playing yet another gig at Krush Bar and Lounge on March 20. This club is like 3000 sq ft and has 3 stages. Needless to say, we are getting SUPER EXCITED for March to come and our trip to begin. But in the meantime there is so much work to be done....
We just got done with band practice tonight. The band is getting ready to go into the studio next weekend so we were chatting about that. Also, we are trying to pick out a logo for ourselves to put on some merch to take down...and the flights...and the equipment...outfits to wear...logos...stickers....demos...recording...amps...flight...demos...recording...cds...press kits...equipment...t-shirts...guitars..clothes...ahhh!!!! So much stuff to think about!
.....I need some sleep:)
Til next time-
