Roanoke Tonight at Bazaar Consignment

We are heading down to Roanoke VA for our third time at the Bazaar, this time we are playing with old band friends of Mild Winter;Birdlips and locals John Barry Conception.  If you have seen us there before we would love to see you again and if you just happen upon the show we look forward to meeting you.  Nik has to work this weekend, so we have John Hostetter filling in.  Here is the facebook event link.  Hope to see you tonight!

Roanoke Friday, Williamsburg Saturday

This weekend we are setting out once again to test the curse of Jack Frost, and according to the weather channel, we should be victorious once again!  Thus far, 2011 has treated us well bringing us frosty wind laden air, but very little snow so we travel on.

Friday night we are heading back the Bazaar, we are all excited to be back in the Star City, our minds are wandering with dreams of vintage goodness, records and contra arcade!  We are playing with our new friends from Fredericksburg; Ryan B and the Dead Sea.  The show starts at 9pm and is $5.00 at the door.  If you are in the greater Roanoke Metropolitan area please come hang out with us!

Saturday night we are heading to Williamsburg Va; excited for the possibilities of historic ghost tours, hanging out with kids who did better than us on the SATs and catching a glimpse of winterized amusement parks from the interstate.  We will be playing at the Meridian, a lovely student run coffee shop on the campus of William and Mary.  We will be hanging out with Ryan B and the Dead Sea and a local TBA?

See you in the Star City or on the Jamestown settlement tour!

Harrisonburg Tonight, Roanoke Saturday!

It only seems fitting that the first show we play as a full band falls on the same day that the first real snow day hits the valley.  Apparently Jack Frost or Mother Nature have it in for me (or maybe more so my tunes).  Mild Winter hit a pretty heavy snow while trying to leave Scranton PA, John and Ben did two weekends together last year, both falling the same time as the two Blizzards, first one we were snowed in at Va Beach, the second one we were snowed in at Columbus OH.   I am beginning the think that I am the new farmers almanac, I predict snow the first weekend in January, and one of the first two weekends in February. 

The snow isn’t going to get us down tonight though, because we are playing at the always lovely Blue Nile, in downtown Harrisonburg!  That is the venue that I have called home base for the past 3+ years, it is the prefect place to debut the full band.  We are playing with our great friends Elephant Child, as well as Hammer No More the Fingers and the Astronomers, starts at 9pm(ish), we play first, I think it is $4.00 at the door. 

The weekend looks like it is going to be cold, but clear, which is a nice change of pace for traveling.  We are heading down to Roanoke on Saturday night, to play at the Bazaar.  This will be my first time at the Bazaar, but Jason has played there before with his other band Preacher.  We are excited to be playing with our friends in Nick Coward and the Last Battle.  If you are living down in the star city please come on out to see us.  I believe the show starts around 9pm or so.  Facebook “The Bazaar” and find more details. 

We are looking forward to getting these first two shows under our belts, if you are in the area please come hang out!
