The newest news

What a great time! We had a blast at Papa's Social Club last weekend. It was great to see all our friends and fans after taking the extended summer vacation. And it was equally great to be back onstage!

As noted in our last post, times are changing. Noise Pollution's decided to make a few adjustments to the show and we're definitely excited about the next phase of this band.

First off, we're re-working our setlist. In addition to playing all the songs you've come to expect...Panama, Kickstart My Heart, Down Boys, Talk Dirty to Me, Dirty Deeds, and so on...we're adding music from the last 20 years. Bands like Nickelback, Stone Temple Pilots, Green Day, Jet, Buckcherry, and more.

With this diversification in our setlist, it also brings the end to Noise Pollution performing in costume. We still promise to bring a great show with us everywhere we go and that you'll have a blast at every show, too. Instead of being "the ultimate tribute to the hard rock and metal of the 80s", Noise Pollution will now be more of a "hard rock experience".

Our final show in costume will be at Bobby Rockets on Friday, October 31st--our annual Halloween Blowout! We'll give you a sneak preview of some of the new material we're working on and of course play lots of your favorite songs that you've come to expect at a Noise Pollution show.

After the Halloween show, we'll be taking a couple months off to continue working on the expanded setlist and to celebrate the holidays with our families. But you'd better be ready for Noise Pollution when we come back in 2009, ready to Rock You Like a Hurricane more than ever!

Times they are a-changing

These past 5 months have brought about some new ideas within the Noise Pollution camp. We've learned a couple new songs which we'll be debuting this coming weekend at Papa's Social Club--hope to see you there! And we've decided to try a slightly new direction with the band.

We'll be taking another break after our show on Friday, October 31st at Bobby Rockets. This break will be much shorter than our summer vacation--only 2-3 months ideally. We'll be re-working the Noise Pollution setlist by adding in some new material. We'll no longer be the "Ultimate Tribute to the Hard Rock and Metal of the 80s". Instead, Noise Pollution will be more of a "Hard Rock Experience".

What's this mean? For one, our final show "in costume" will be on Halloween. We may occasionally pull the costumes out of our closets for special occasions and of course for Halloween. But in general, we'll be performing "unmasked".

This also means a more diverse songlist. Yes, we'll still be playing Van Halen and Motley Crue and AC/DC and Poison and Ratt. But we'll be playing songs from the past 20 years as well. Songs by bands including Stone Temple Pilots, Green Day, Nickelback, and Buckcherry to name a few.

We're really looking forward to these next three shows, and we're very excited about what 2009 will bring to the band. Thanks to everyone who's kept in contact over our summer vacation, and thanks in advance to everyone who comes to the show at Papa's this weekend. We look forward to Rocking You Like a Hurricane for a long time to come!
