Back to the Burren in Somerville MA

Apologies for the lack of posting. My only New Years Resolution is to avoid making them so it follows that I am a lazy bastard. More importantly, we are back on track and expect more updates from us in the days and weeks ahead. In fact, I have been known to update to the point of restraining order so...be forewarned.

This brings us to future plans. We are getting ready to go back up to the Boston area for our third trip. This will mark the second time that we played The Burren in Somerville. http://www.burren.com/ for those interested.

We will be playing an unplugged set on Sunday March 21, 2010. 21+, No cover but we will be passing around the old tip jar to make gas money for the trip.

There will also be candlepin bowling which is a pastime that should occur round these here parts more often. We hear it's a New England thing. Look it up if you are still confused and bask in its glory.

So...if you are going to be up in the greater Boston area around the start of Spring, come check us out. Tip the waitress and try the scrod!

Meanwhile...I found a show review from the first time we went up to The Burren by either Craig or Holmes that I am reposting. I hear Craig's voice in my head as I read it so I think it's him.

Enjoy or die.

THE BURREN REVIEW....
Current mood: crunk
unfortunate to say, this band doesnt get to travel enough (hey kids! rock music dont pay shit) and the day jobs prevent any extensive touring etc... but since im fortunate enough to be in a band where there are four hearts pumping the love of music through our veins, every now and then when we get the chance we leave the normal long island hustle and dig into our pockets to take a little road trip with the soul intentions of the thrill of playing in a new town.

boston mass showed us a great time, we had alot of fun stuffing our faces with baked scrod at 99(the resturaunt next to the hotel...what are the odds" candlestick bowling, and just enjoying being friends and family, and i couldnt have asked for a better way to end our weekend then with the show we played.

thankful that it was a sit down acoustic show cause our dogs were barkin from wandering around downtown boston in circles we played a most enjoyable set opening with "splitsville" then jammin away on "3 cheers for circumstance", "nasty feathers", "hell on wheels", "foolish me", "99", "mexican standoff", and "sexy mf"..the crowd at the burren was very receptive to us and we were glad to see we were well recieved and as i said that night the folks in that room that night were the nicest people we met in boston. thanks to them, thanks to the one and only tom bianchi for setting us up with the show, thanks to jenna and mike for comin out to the show...it was awesome to see you guys.
