We had a blast playing our first set of Christmas shows, and we're already talkin' bout next years shows. We'll embelish our costumes a bit more and we have a whole year to add to our song lists. It was great playing some inappropriate holiday songss and we're sure there's a ton more out there. We were also able to perform at The Hollywood Burlesque Festival in December and met Richard Simmons! We started this year off with a show with Neil Hamburger and hope to book more comedy shows as well. Go to our photos page for you know, photos, and buy our crap for Christ's sake!
New Song Titles!Ok, so we're not real active about writing shit in the blog area. We come from the time of Pong and Welcome Back Kotter, so blogs aren't always on our mind. We're still promoting our new album, trying to book out of town shows, getting ready for some Christmastime shows, and writing new songs. Here's a few new song titles of songs we're writing, have recently written, or simply come up with a title without striking a single note.
Totally Fucking it Up His Name is Jim Where were you when Buddy Holly died? The Sounds of Simon Too Bad you're Not Going to Heaven, My Dear and others! We're also kicking around a couple video things, so we'll keep you informed. Awsome, we won't have to "blog" for a couple more years! April 2011 tour wrap upWe are back from our little tour. With only one show under our belt, it was great to pack three shows into one week. Our show at Monday Night Tease in Hollywood was amazing, we made lots of new friends, and we didn't have to carry all our crap! We headed up to Ventura where Bill Locey from The Ventura County Star did a great piece on us, and we were able to tour the town with our friend Dr. Shocker. We shared the bill with our friends The Howlin' Jupiters, which was comforting when we broke out the ukelele and glockenspiel at Billy O's Tavern! Good thing i'm a big guy. The crowd didn't know I cry myself to sleep. We had what they call in the touring business a "day off" and were able to see our friend Robert "El Vez to the rest of you" Lopez star in Teatro Zinzanni in San Francisco. I'll name drop him all damn day long. Amazing show. We will play shows in San Francisco in the next few months i'm sure. Then we were off to Oakland for another burlesque- themed show at Uptown. Awsome place, awsome people.
Touring at our age, granted we are still young, is a bit different than touring in your twenties. Statements such as "where are all the drugs" and "Its 2AM, where should we go now?" have been replaced with "Let me know if you see a Walgreens" and "i'm going to take a nap before bed". And if you're married to your bandmate, you talk less about "where the hotties are hangin'" and more about "I wonder what the cats are doing" and "let's make a grocery list!". At least the car doesn't smell like dudes. Playing burlesque shows with minimal equipment is great, but I never knew if I was allowed to go backstage with the ladies changing into costume. Out of respect I stayed away, but as a performer am I not entitled to share the dressing room? And should I be chastised because I entered the dressing room six times to make sure I didnt leave a coat in there? And in keeping in the rock n roll tradition of touring, we caused a little havok. The TV was always bolted down which made it difficult to toss it out the window, but trust me, we put drinks on tables sans coasters more times than you could imagine, and we got a bag full of hotel soap that would make Guns & Roses cringe!
