Your Holiday Update and Gift Ideas

Happy Holidays to all, and our deepest apologies in being silent for many months in the blog world. Think of this as our annual Christmas/New Year's letter to you all.


Some updates: The band is doing well, and is happily winding up the 2009 year with one more show in New York City at our favorite spot, The Sidewalk Cafe. Go to thesobriquets.com for complete info on everything upcoming.

We've been experimenting with acoustic performances lately, including a great performance at our favorite Phoenixville haunt, Steel City Coffee House. We've got a little video clip here of one of the songs (I'll get a non-Facebook link up as soon as I can).

In direct opposition of intimate acoustic sounds, last night we were fortunate enough to play at The Blockley Pourhouse, which is a trek of about 6 blocks from our practice space. Not only was our set one of the tighter, louder and more energetic sets we've done in a while, but we got to share the stage with The Lights Out, an absolutely amazing band from Boston. Check these guys out, they are well worth your time.

With the holidays fast approaching, we thought we'd help you all out a bit with the ever pressing question of what gift to get for whomever. The Sobriquets' albums are available from a wide range of online retailers, including iTunes, Amazon and CD Baby. With just a few clicks, you could be giving someone special the gift of homegrown, 100% independent music.

Thanks to everyone whose come out and seen us in 2009, we've had a blast playing for you. Coming up in early 2009, we've got shows in Brooklyn, Harrisburg, Philadelphia and our own curated night at The Blinkin' Lincoln in Roxborough, just outside of Philadelphia. Think of it as a mini All Tomorrow's Parties, if ATP were only one night, had about three bands and was in Roxborough. It will also be significantly less expensive.

We'll be closing out the year with some best-of-the-year lists from each of The Sobriquets, and we'll give you all a full run-down of upcoming events by the start of the new year. We wish you all a very happy holiday season, and hope to see you all very soon!
