The Remasters

We had the pleasure of playing a show at the Portland Art Museum this weekend in a room that was custom made for spoiling us. I’m not sure how big it actually was, but it felt like we were real rock stars for a night. The green room was an extra special bonus (usually we have to just wait around in the bathroom or outside until somebody comes and tells us it’s show time).

The show was actually an auction to raise money for Ainsworth Elementary School in Portland, and by all accounts they raised some serious capital. I hope our drink money goes toward a few amenities for the children. My liver would feel so much better about its’ current state knowing that some wonderful youngster got to learn a thing or two at its’ expense.

2 shows last week, another one next week, and another one after that. It must be Spring!

Thanks to all who showed up at the Dixie for Fat Tuesday. We had a great time for our first time in a new club- thanks for making us feel welcome.

Friday at the Lion didn’t disappoint. The crowd may not have been as thick as Saturday, but sometimes it’s more about quality than quantity. We’re back on Friday the 20th, so let’s fill ‘er up, m’kay people?

This just in: we’ll be playing Fat Tuesday (February 24th) at the Dixie tavern in downtown Portland. NW 3rd and Couch. Check it out here: http://www.dixiepdx.comonline casino net. Looks like our kind of place, so this is gonna be fun. Show time is 7:30, and we’ll be off stage and drinking with you at 10.

Hey 2008, sorry to have had to kick your ass so absolutely and completely, but we’re on to newer, bigger and better things. As you’ll see below, you’ve got nothing on 2009. Only 3 days in and these people are out-of-freaking-control. Just look at them! Imagine what February’s going to be like. I’m wearing a helmet and getting my vaccinations ahead of time.

Oh, and to the guy who got escorted off the stage by security- sorry about that. But when you start falling into stuff and turning amps down in the middle of songs we gotta do what we gotta do. We hope you made it home safe and sound.

Actually, I think that was me, and more than once last night. Our last show of the year, and it was clear that the holiday spirit is alive and well. There were a few surly Santa’s in attendance, but that didn’t stop the beautiful well dressed peeps of Portland from getting down all night long.

To the birthday girls- I hope Sunday morning wasn’t too painful for you. And I’m glad to see that at 24 you can still party like it’s your 21st all over again.

We’ve got shows booked at the Lion and beyond through April, and by popular demand we’ll be doing a few Friday’s here and there. Check the schedule, and get your selves out!
