Hard Rock Cafe, Black Box Theater, and at last…the Boardwalk

Hard Rock Cafe San Francisco

First, an enormous thank you to EACH and every one of you who voted for us in the Hard Rock Rising Competition last week. Thanks entirely to your votes, we’ll be playing in the live battle of the bands on Friday, March 9, in San Francisco on Pier 39 at 8:30 p.m. If you live in San Francisco or just will be there for whatever reason, come hang with us! It’s going to be fun, and it’s also entirely free!! We’re playing with two other awesome bands, fellow Sac band Iconoclast Robot and the bay area’s Cadent. Also, if you text UROCK to 99000, you’ll also get a 20% discount on merchandise and meals (alcohol excluded). We’re very excited about this show.

We have a couple other really cool shows coming up that we’d love to see you at!

Hard Rock Rising Votes & Over Again…Over Again

hard_rock_rising

Well, we are completely honoured to be in this thing. Our song Over Again, which YOU GUYS helped get a winning spot in the Heineken Ultimate Playlist competition last year, is now in the running to help us play at Hard Rock Rising, the forerunner to the competition to play Hard Rock Calling in London. An enormous THANK YOU to everyone who has voted so far!! We’re currently in the top 9, but need to stay in the top 9 until Feb 6 to get a spot to play in the Battle of the Bands.

So in case you haven’t yet, here is how you can vote for us.

All you have to do is download our song Over Again for free and like their FB page. Click this picture to follow the link (we’re the first band listed!):

Happy 2012

2012 Fireworks

Happy new year!! We’re incredibly excited for this new year, whether or not the Mayans turn out to be right (zombie apocalypse anyone?). 2011 was great for us, no doubt…but just so long. Too long. So happy 2012. This is going to be a great year.

Not sure how you’ve brought the year in, but we had to cancel plans and rang out 2011 the way we rang it in — glued to laptops, coding and customising and designing and catching up on work that’s finally under control. Not exactly rock and roll, but no one said being an indie musician was going to be easy. We did stop after 2 a.m. to watch Sleepless in Seattle and down an alarming amount of Cheetos and Martinelli’s and popcorn and egg nog and nachos. Not all at the same time but…ok. It was all at the the same time.

Latest press for Stop & Go

News!

We’ve been loving the feedback we’ve gotten so far on our new EP, Stop & Go. If you have a few seconds, we would love a rating on iTunes! Stars make us happy.

The latest press we’ve gotten have been from two awesome music blogs — Power Popaholic, an awesome power pop blog that we’ve been reading for years, and Indie Hit Makers, a newer and fantastic source for indie music in Kansas City. These are two sites you should check out and follow to get the latest on some other amazing indie bands.
