rebranding the band

Exhaustion.

For the better part of the last year our band has focused more on playing 2 hr+ gigs, whereas before we had been performing one hour gigs with 3-4 other bands on a given night. I can't do this on top of a normal job, where they expect me to come in and function the following morning. I could as a delivery driver, but not in PR.

Last week we performed two gigs (on top of heading to the Flogging Molly show Tuesday night). There is no doubt in my mind that all that effort on top of my 40+ hour work week has contributed to the flu I am suffering through right now. It's called burning the midnight oil, friends. The fellas and I have been talking, and I think we are halting our weekday marathon Fenbi gigs indefinitely.

New Direction

The reality has not been lost on us, that when we launch into OUR songs you start singing along to the words and jump and dance and get out of control really fast. You don't do that with our cover songs. Which is refreshing. Yet sadly, covers have become more than 50% of our show.

We are going to go with your energy. Your subtle message to us.

We are halting our weekday gigs, will put more effort towards finishing our debut album (which is sounding great), write new songs, and will be putting on weekend shows from here on out. Less than one per month. And when I am talking shows, I mean mini-festivals. Costumes, antics, freaks & geeks, you name it. A different theme every week. It will be a chance for friends to contribute their creativity into the mix. If you have ideas, thoughts, suggestions, or want to volunteer to lend a hand to create some magic let me know. Do you design costumes? Can you make killer props? Can you play trumpet or trombone or tuba? Can you dance in a weird Baba Yaga costume as we perform?

Anything, let me know. I think we're too late for October, so let's try for November.

Where should we do the CD release show?
