The Dirty Pearls asked us to play their one year anniversary show and we were happy to oblige. Those guys know how to rock. The Compulsions were also on the bill. It was a strong night of rock bands we hadn’t played with before. Great night.

Another great Asylum is the short version. The longer version, is we kicked off a great night. Airiel Down came up from North Carolina and played a killer set. Then came ZO2 who had a surprise guest, Jon Popper of Blues Traveller. That guy can still kill it on the harmonica. Hollywood Hangover and Receptor closed out a great night.

This was our first showcase and what a show it was. We shared the stage with 8 great bands competing for some great prizes. We walked away with a free online marketing campaign from musicsubmit.com. And the fans were treated to a night of solid rock bands from NY, DC and PA. We can’t wait for the next one at Six Flags in August.

ZO2 asked us to play with them in Erie on 5/10 so we decided to make a weekend of it and hit Cleveland as well. We played our first acoustic gig at Record Revolution, a record store in Coventry where they now stock our CD. We went straight to the Hi-Fi from there and met up with our friends in Psych ER. We went to Erie the next day and between us and ZO2, gave them a heavy dose of NYC. It was a gr...[Read More]

Snitch has been a good club for us but it closed on May 3rd. We squeezed in a last minute show with our friends from NJ, Hostel, Inc. The show went off without a hitch and had everyone wondering “Why are they closing this place?”

Our friends at the Sweatshop, where we rehearse, hooked us up with this show. It’s called Take Back New York and is put on by Queen V. All proceeds were donated to Axis of Justice (www.axisofjustice.org) and Picture the Homeless (www.picturethehomeless.org).

So, we were all set to go and at 4:30, Jason’s car got towed. Not wanting to cancel the show, we managed to find a last minute rental and hauled ass down to Sweeney’s. The rest of the night ran like clock work. It was a killer set in front of some new fans.

This was the most fun we’ve had in a while. On Fri night we hit the stage with Receptor, but left our amplifiers at home for an all acoustic show. It took a minute to get used to hearing the crowd while we were playing. The crowd reception was great, we’ll definitely be doing more of these. Sat night went well also, hitting the stage with Bleud in NJ for Fil-Am rock night.

Our 5th Rock Asylum. What else can we say? This show is always one of the best ones that we play. The bands are strong and the fans eat up the music. This one was no exception. ZO2 put on a kick ass show as usual. And one of our awesome Ohio fans flew out for the show.

This show was put together by Chigger from Hostel, Inc and our fellow Brooklyn brothers, Black Water Rising. We hit NJ on the heels of a blizzard of sorts but that didn’t stop the bands or the fans. We rocked until 3 am and woke up with hangovers at some time the next day. Look for a repeat performance on May 2nd (but probably without the blizzard).

You gotta love this place. You get in free, and they stuff you full of as much vodka as you drink for an hour. Not to mention the music. We had a blast playing with Paper Doll, Grey Tide from Syracuse, NY, Super Potent Death Baby and My Uncle The Wolf. As an aside, Mike and the drummer from Paper Doll, Chip had met a while back and had no idea that they would be playing the same stage. It was like...[Read More]
