Archive: HALLOWEASTER IV REVIEW!!!!!

Current mood: hungover

all day long the butterflies were buzzing through the stomachs of all of those involved. halloweaster is a great idea and one hell of a party but it takes a certain kind of place to accept the vibe of the party....

and O’Briens Ale House in coram did not dissapoint, the halloweaster spirit was alive and well (possibly at its best) there were girls dressed like angels, dolls, kittens etc...there were pirates, borat, zoro, even richard simmons..KUDOS TO EVERYONE WHO SHOWED UP IN COSTUME, LIFES TOO SHORT TO GIVE A SHIT IF PEOPLE THINK YOU LOOK FOOLISH WHEN YOU ARE HAVING A GOOD TIME!!!!

Slick River kicked off the night with a straight foward set of hard and heavy blues including their new song "Mexico" which i think is my favorite. if you like slick river they will be sharing many upcoming shows with us.

Then it was time for Harolds Trousers, bringing the flavor, gettin the heads boppin and the bootys shakin, and lead singer eric’s likeness to richard simmons was identical.

Radio 94 tore the roof off the place with a well executed set of great 90s covers by toadies, radiohead, and more and Groney’s Groney costume was an exact replica

then it was our turn, it was after 1 in the morning by the time we took the stage but the party was still at its peak, we gave em all we could, im suprised at how well my Amy Winehouse wig held up though it lost it somewhere toward the middle of the set despite how pretty holmes looked he was still shredding it up, we havent seen some of the friends who were there in a while so we gave them alot of the newer stuff including "3 cheers for circumstance", "foolish me" and our brand spankin new song "Splitsville" along with old favs "Nasty Feathers", "Miss you" (with groney) and ofcourse no great party is complete without a performance from Docta (brotha that night) Shocka

so thanks to you all for coming out and keeping the halloweaster spirit alive, thanks to Obriens for putting up with us, thanks to the other bands, and a very special thanks to Rob from Groove Shack, and Jessica from Roll the dice promotions for all their hard work making this happen

Archive: FAQ’S ABOUT THE NEW RECORD

well there really is only one question people are asking about the new record......when the fuck is it coming out?????

those of you who have been following us for years know that the last album we put out was "Ante up" back in august 2005...and if you do not own it yet please visit www.blindrobbery.com to purchase it on-line or at cdbaby.com

the truth is we are first and foremost a live band, always have been always will. the conventional methods of recording in a fancy studio and laying down tracks and tracks of over produced drivel that we couldnt match at our shows...is not our style.

so weve been experimenting in both our own recording enviroment, as well as other studios and friends of ours in order to find the sound that best suites us and captures our live energy. and ofcourse in the process weve been writing new songs all the time so we constantly have new material that we want to record.

so with that being said i stated in earlier blogs that we will be releasing the new album in segments rather than a whole this way we can deliver the songs to you quicker than waiting for an entire album, also it will be alot easier on your wallet if youre only purchasing a few songs at a time.

so please continue to be patient and we will have some music in your hands very soon, in the meantime we are playing these songs night after night at our live shows, so we hope to see you out there and we thank all of those who continue to show us support.
