Hey, check out Eleven Magazine...

Hey so in case you haven't seen it around town yet, there's a new(ish) "intercollegiate" rag in St. Louis called Eleven Magazine. You should try to find a copy (found mine at the Maplewood Jimmy John's - I think they have some in the music shop there on Manchester, too) and give it a read - it's very good stuff. They're also online in blog-form at elevenmusicmag.com

This month's issue is especially near and dear to us, because A. It features bits on two of our very good friends in the "H" section of our iTunes: Headlights and The Hibernauts, and B. Inside the front cover you'll see an ad for THIS SATURDAY'S CANS & COATS CHRISTMAS SHOW, of which Eleven Magazine is a sponsor!

So pick up a copy where you can find one, and support a very cool and promising local music mag, and support local music!

Cheers,
GAH

GAH Recommends: THE FEATURES @ THE FIREBIRD

Hey all,

Just letting you know that there is a great show going on tonight (Fri. 6/26) at The Firebird that you would be wise not to miss. One of our favorite bands, The Features, will be taking the stage with Autovaughn and Fractured Army. We've been listening to the Features for quite some time now, and they just keep getting better with every record - last year's Some Kind Of Salvation is quite the jam. These guys really light a fire on stage, which we witnessed when we opened for them in Lexington, KY last year, so here's to hoping none of you miss out on this one. Seeya there!

Cheers,
GAH

Thanks! and show tonight at Off Broadway!

Greetings all.

Thank you to all who voted for us and others in the 2009 Riverfront Times Music Awards. We greatly appreciate being awarded Best Pop Band for the year. We've had a busy and exciting last couple of years, and we are thankful to have the local support that we do. Hopefully we do an all right job of demonstrating how much you all mean to us.

So....if you're looking for something to do tonight, please head out to Off Broadway. We are playing our last local show for a few months while we work on recording new material and playing a few out of town dates. Tonight's lineup:

Van Gloria
Mayola
The Mhurs
Gentleman Auction House

@ Off Broadway
$7, show @ 9pm

Our pals Mayola are up from Oklahoma, and we are very much looking forward to playing with them again. They are one of the best live bands we've played with out of town. Seriously. Also looking forward to playing with Van Gloria and locals The Mhurs, who we have yet to break our cherry with. Should be fun. Go!
