Our debut gig at Mickey’s Pub in Waverly was awesome, if we do say so ourselves 😉 It was a sort of homecoming for Bob, who is from Waverly originally. At the beginning of the night, the crowd was a little thin, because there was a big, cross-town rival football game going on… but by the end of the evening the place was so packed that we stayed an extra hour to rock out with everyone. In any case, both when it was small and when it was big, it was a great crowd to play for—they really seemed to dig our eclectic mix, including our originals. The owners told us they want us to consider Mickey’s our home in the Valley, which sounds great to us. We can’t wait to go back (check our Tour Dates page)… that place really knows how to have a good time!

Number 5 in September
It was a pleasure to be back at the Number 5, this time with Mo! There was a full house, which included people who had come from as far away as the Berkshires to rock out with us. We had quite the dance party going on, right from the first song. And everyone was rockin’ out so hard that there was even a spill or two on the dance floor… hey, sometimes you have to pay a little price to the party gods! It was all good. A big thanks to everyone who came out!
Bike Night, At Long Last!
Bike Night in downtown Greene was one of those near-perfect nights. You know, where everything just seems to fall into place. The crowd was, well, awesome. Such a great vibe! The venue–downtown Greene–was fantastic; they blocked off a side street facing the main drag, and that’s where we set up. So we had a perfect view of all the bikes and mustangs lining up, as well as of all the folks who were there for the fun. And the weather? It couldn’t have been better. Warm-but-not-too-warm, and literally not a cloud in the sky. (Our first Bike Night/Greater Greene Cruise-in was rained out, so we were very happy to see the forecast calling for a 0% chance of rain.) Our only regret was that it was the last Bike Night of the summer, so we’ll have to wait almost a whole year before we can do it again! A huge thanks to Big Wally from 99.1 The Whale and all the other organizers and attendees for what ended up being one of our favorite nights of the summer!
On The Roxx
We had a great time at our first gig at On The Roxx! Highlights included the debut of “The Reverend Mo Love Taylor” singing a special–if shall-we-say unorthodox–version of a classic hit like you’ve *never* heard it before. If you were there, you know what we’re talking about. If not, we don’t want to ruin the surprise for you of hearing it for yourself! It will be part of regular repertoire from now on, so you’ll be able to hear it at most of our shows. Other highlights included helping a certain Corey celebrate his 21st birthday in style, and also seeing so many friends come out to hear “the new us” at a new venue. Thanks, everyone!
