Hey friends, we’re hard at work here in Camp DE.  Tomorrow we’re going to be doing some demos which if you’re nice, we may let you hear.  However, if you want to hear them you can most definitely come to one (or both) of our next shows, I can promise you that you’ll hear them there.

About those shows… The first one is January 3rd, and it’s for UNregular radio in Boston.  The show is going to be at McGann’s Irish Pub, and will be one of our last Boston shows for a little while.  if you can’t make it out to that gem, don’t worry, we’ve got another one a little further up North.  We’ll be taking the stage along with longtime friends Big D and the Kids Table & The Brunt of It.  That show takes place at Fury’s Publick House, and should be a ruckus of a good time!

Hope to see all your smiling faces soon!

Come to the Rosebud Bar this evening to see us take the stage at the Rosebud Bar in Somerville, MA!  We’ll be sharing the stage with Big Bad Bobbie and the Shoehorns, Post Neutral, and Plumerai!  The show starts at 8:30, is 21+, and is only $7!  Come share a drink with us!

Our show on the 8th is right around the corner, come on by and check us out it should be a great night!  Also, we just recently released our latest webisode chronicling our trip to Montreal’s Pouzza FEST.  You can check that out by clicking here or by heading over to our youtube channel.

Hello friends!  As we begin to wrap up another year in Dead Ellington land, I wanted to let you know about one of the last shows we have booked for this year!  Unfortunately the show on Sunday was cancelled, but for those of you looking for a fix, December 8th we’ll be playing at the Rosebud in Somerville!  Come and check us out!

Not doing anything this Friday?  Doing something this Friday that you want to get out of?  Well, boy do we have news for you!?  We’re going to be playing in Norwood with our friends BJP and Gary from Kicked in the Head.  Come on by and check it out, it’s going to be a blast!

We just arrived at the venue for our first show, but more on that later.  Last night, we packed up the van and headed south, however, before we left Boston, we were lucky enough to catch the Eric Andre Tour.  It was crazy!  I’ve never had so many deli meats, condiments, and alcohol thrown in my direction in!

We just finished setting up at Kopec’s in Pittsburgh, it reminds me of the old DIY VFW shows.  The one thing that always catches me off guard is when bars still allow smoking in doors.  Speaking of doors, they open in 45 minutes!  Come on out, and show us what Pittsburgh has to offer!

Next stop Cleveland!

This week, we’re getting everything squared away for our brief tour with Break Anchor!  Check out our tour page for dates

Did you know our video for Breaking Down has been getting some really great exposure? Presently you can see our video playing in Hilton and Marriot Hotels, Holiday and Ramada Inns, Hard Rock Cafe’s, Planet Hollywood’s, and a slew of other places!  We’re super excited to see it playing in these fine establishments, and hope you get the chance to see them while grabbing a bite to eat, or relaxing on your vacations!

This past weekend we had a few shows a little further away then we normally travel.  We headed down to Kutztown, PA and then on Over to Baltimore to visit Rachel from Feed the Scene.  Rachel was throwing the one year anniversary for her Feed The Scene initiative.  For those of you who don’t know, Rachel has been feeding touring bands for the past year, and even offering some a place to crash.  Being on the road is tough, but having people like her out there really helps to make you feel at home.  We were lucky enough to be a part of her show, and would like to help return the favor by promoting her kickstarter.  There are only 11 days left in her kickstarter and she is just shy of her $5,000 goal, let’s help give it a little push to help her exceed that goal.  She feeds all these bands and never asks for a penny, let’s offer her whatever we can to make this initiative even better!

Also, for those of you in the Holyoke, MA area … We’re going to be heading to the Waterfront Tavern to play tomorrow evening, check it out!  More info on the shows page.

As I write this update, Sal is presently on tour with the Mighty Mighty Bosstones, I (Jason) am sitting on a porch in sunny Los Angeles, overlooking the Hollywood hills, while taking a little vacation, meeting up friends.  Lastly, the other schmucks are sitting at home, working their day jobs, not having any fun.   But I digress…

A lot has been happening for us lately, we’re starting to see our video on tons of different sites, most recently on dyingscene.com.  We have some shows coming up later this month, including the first anniversary of our friend Rachel’s “Feed The Scene” initiative.  She does amazing work, she cooks like crazy and offers a place for bands to stay while on tour.  Please check out her facebook page.  Our tour in September with Break Anchor is coming together nicely, more details on that will be announced later.

We look forward to seeing all the new faces as we play in these new locations, so please be sure to spread the word, stop by any of the shows, and just say hi.  We love meeting new fans, and if you catch us at the right time, you can see Brandon and Craig act out a few scenes from the best selling novel 50 Shades of Gray.  If you check out any of the Bosstones shows, be sure to give Sal a hearty handshake.

Stay Classy!
