Happy New Year!
As we turn the corner into 2010, we can’t help but look back on some great times in 2009 including our first headlining Red Rocks appearance, our debut performance on Mt. Fuji at Fuji Rock Festival in Japan, our set at Rothbury and all of the amazing tour dates in between. And of course we wrapped it up in grand fashion with 5 amazing nights in Times Square in New York City. The energy in the Nokia was off the charts, which was fitting for the end of 2009, possibly the most supercharged year we have had all decade! We are excited to carry that momentum into 2010!
We are at home resting up for our trip out West to Colorado. These shows at the legendary Fox Theatre promise to be 4 incredible nights! Following the Fox, we are happy to announce the following tour dates in February, March and April.
From Brownie
First off, thanks for a great time last week. We appreciate the energy the crowd puts at us, it makes it so easy to put it back at the crowd. Happy Holidays to all.
We would like to point out a few things about the tour. Ultra! Here we come, Florida. Let’s rock it.
Some other notes: This will be our first time playing at the Capitol Center for the Arts in Concord, and we hear it is a great venue! Another really interesting, cool, great sounding room is the Egg in Albany, NY. The venue holds less than 1000 people, so it will be a very intimate show for the area, and the building is an architectural wonder. If you’ve been to Albany, you’ve seen it. Check it out HERE . Our return to the House of Blues in Boston will blow up, we promise, and the Wellmont Theater in Montclair, NJ is a beautiful venue in a really cool town just outside of NYC. My best friend from childhood just bought a huge house there, and he put hook ups for cable, water, and power in his driveway, hoping that we would eventually just move our bus into his driveway. Well, here we come, Nicky! Party at Nick’s place?
Four nights in sweet Virginia. Two nights at the National, one at the NorVa, and one in C-ville! Bring your speedos. (just kidding, please don’t). What else? Oh yeah, our now annual party at the 9:30 club on 4/20 will be heady. Very very heady. A long awaited return to NePa? For sure. Going to drop the heat on Wilkes Barre, that is, if you don’t mind. And then back to AC to lose all your fucking money. Good business plan, right? Go out and work for a few weeks, then bring the cash to AC and put it all on black.
At any rate, announcing shows is always really fun and exciting for me. It means that we all get to sit back for a day and imagine together the mayhem that is going to ensue. And ensue it will.
For the next few weeks it’s sit in the studio and make new music… But I think I may step into a portal to my empty head for a few days first.
Happy New Years my good friends.
Love, Brownie
