the end of March

So march came in like a lion and out like a lamb. Whoopity-doo!

Noise Pollution news: We've got shows booked clear into August right now. That's pretty sweet. Next show is 4/23 at JT's in Pell Lake, see the website, www.noisepollutionrocks.com for details and a map.

I got the final version of the demo over the weekend, and will be giving the boys each their own copy tonight. Next it's time for duplication. Never ends!

Not much else happening on the band front, but we'll keep you posted as things come up!

Coach's

Well, we played Coach's last night, and it was a great time. Unfortunately, the turnout was less than we hoped for, but we still had fun, and the venue has invited us back for future dates--always encouraging.

Some of the tunes were a little sloppy, but that's what happens when a show is cancelled and then rescheduled within a week. Focus was missing, and thus we were not at the top of our game. But overall, we did well, Jim was lively, Chris and Nick were having fun. Vic was feeling a little under the weather, damn stomach bugs! That's what you get for eating rich and thick creamy homemade mashed potatoes with hot pockets! As far as me, I was missing my voice by the end of the night. We'll see what comes next.

We've got more shows already booked, so check out our website for details, www.noisepollutionrocks.com.

Confirmed!

It is true, Noise Pollution is definitely playing Saturday night at Coach's. What a roller coaster ride! It's a post-St. Patty's Party, and it's gonna rock!

A show after all???

Well, it appears we DO in fact have a show on 3/19. We'll be performing at Coach's in Burlington, at the intersection of Hwys 36 and 11, right downtown. Big venue. All we need now is to confirm a sound company and the gig is set. We'll keep you posted!

NO Show

Well, we tried, but it appears that Noise Pollution will be taking the month of March off from gigging. On the bright side, we have April/May/June all booked!

When I confronted the owner of the venue who cancelled us for 3/19 without notifying us, she told me to, "stick it up my ass." Very professional on her part. I can't wait to work with her in the future. (Sense the sarcasm in that statement? I hope so.)

So until the next news update...

Cancelled!

We got some lousy news today, by accident. Our show for 3/19 has been cancelled. Seems the bar owner double booked the night, and even though we were booked there back in November, she decided that her brother's band (so we've heard) gets to play on 3/19 instead.

Seems Chris just stumbled onto this other band's website today, saw they were playing, and called me. I called the venue who told me that there was a big X through our name, and this other band was listed instead. No explanation!

Oh well. Such is life in a local band.

On a brighter note, I did book us for April 23rd at JT's Bar in Pell Lake, WI. More details on that are coming soon!

Have a good weekend.

Demo take 2

I got the final batch of mixes for the demo this past weekend. Sounds pretty damn good. Looking forward to my bandmates getting a chance to give a listen. Also, we've officially applied to play at Summerfest. We'll see if anything comes of it.

Working on booking April/May/June shows right now, and Darien CornFest, too! We'll see!
