We did make it back to Philly from their show at the Sidewalk Cafe in New York before the snow fell, some more easily than others (apparently James got stuck waiting for a train out of Penn Station, some sort of power outage). Photos and video to come (of the band, not of James in Penn Station).
But most importantly, we'd like to start getting you psyched for a big show we've got coming up in 2010. The good folks at the Blinkin' Lincoln in Roxborough will turn the stage over to us for a whole night of Sobriquets' curated music on Friday, January 29th. And we are so excited to announce that one of the bands will be Tallahassee from Providence, Rhode Island. These guys are an absolutely amazing folk/bluegrass/acoustic act. Check out their newest release, "Wolfe Moon", and get comfy with them before you get the chance to see them live in Philadelphia.
Fun Trivia Fact #1: "Wolfe Moon" was engineered and produced by former Denver/current LA producer Dave Drago, who also lent a hand to our newest EP "The Sobriquets Are Out of Style". Small world, right?
Fun Trivia Fact #2: Tallahassee bassist Shawn Carney was the photographer at Dan's wedding. He did an excellent job.
Fun Trivia Fact #3: Seeing both The Sobriquets and Tallahassee together could possibly be the greatest thing ever.
Anyway, there will be more info about this awesome show as it comes, including the identity of the third band. And stay tuned to Songs De Guerre for info about our upcoming slot in JerseyShows Battle of the Bands at Doc Watson's on January 17th.
Everyone stay well,
The Sobriquets
It should be noted, of course, that Friday is the 29th of January. In 2010. Which is when this show is. So don't try to come on Friday the 30th. It won't work.
ReplyDeleteAlso, the Battle of the Bands is the 17th. At Doc Watson's. We're in Harrisburg PA on the 9th. Which should also be fun. And whilst I'm at it, we're in Brooklyn at the Trash Bar on the 11th.
ReplyDeleteIt was cool to find out Fun Trivia Fact #4, that Tallahassee's frontman, Brian, was a lineman for the Patriots.
ReplyDeleteI have made the necesary corrections. This is what happens when you try and post with very little sleep and a shaky grasp on how to read a calendar.
