No Rest for the Robbery...Really.

Well kiddies, I promised an update in the less than distant future so here it goes. We have been getting a few questions and would like to take the opportunity to clear up some things. First of all, you may be wondering what we have been up to and why you haven't been hounded on various social networking sites as of late by us demanding attendance at a BR show.

The short answer is that we have taken brief show hiatus for the month of February. Don't despair brothers and sisters, Blind Robbery will be back in action in the month of March. We will be in NYC on the 5th, in East Meadow on the 6th with the mighty Harold's Trousers and Slick River and back in the Boston area when we play unplugged in Somerville on the 21st. More shows are on the way including private parties, new clubs and possibly a show at SUNY Stony Brook. We have been working the phones and emails this month, talking a good game with the intention of opening up new ways to back it up across the Island. Sort of like John Locke but without the smoke moster...and with music...and well, maybe not much like John Locke after all.

So, why the break in the schedule you may ask. Don't we have an album out that we should be promoting? Ah, not dumb questions. There are a few reasons that are for the most part business related.

Mainly, we have had difficulties with our schedules. Stuff happens and we must adapt. We all have been trying to find ways to balance all of the junk we have in life. Luckily, the band is on the same page and although we aren't playing shows, it is no indication that we have stopped working. We have been working the internets like a 3rd world assembly line. Check out our new site at Reverbnation where we came out of ovblivion to reach the 69 spot on the local Rock charts as of the time of this post.

We have been updating our press kit, working on revamping the website, designing new merch, getting our legal house in order and adding to our set. Surprises are on the way. I'm saying there may or may not be some sort of Blind Robbery DVD in the works. Just saying.

Now, we do have a new album out and we recommend that you purchase it. It's called Crooked Numbers and we will never have any shame about promoting it. YaDig? We have been putting the finishing touches on the album art and scrounging up the money to send it for CD production. Our goal is to have the finished copies in our hands by the end of the month. We hope they will be in your hands shortly thereafter. Until then, you can purchase Crooked Numbers on itunes and for all of you that are not into the apple thing, we have you covered. You can now purchase Crooked Numbers at Amazon.

On another note, I have returned to drum lessons , studying once again under the tutelage of Meat Loaf drummer, John Miceli. They say that when the student is ready, the master will appear. It has been seven years since I last saw John but from the past three weeks of study, it's as if we hadn't skipped a beat. No, I did not plan that lame ass pun. Anyway, if you thought I was bad before, I'ma be downright nasty soon.

Any other questions for us, send em to the mailbag at blindrobbery@gmail.com.

Thanks to everyone who continues to make this band happen.. Halloweaster info is on the way so stay tuned.
