That was one hell of a week
Well that was one of the better weeks in the oddly long history of Action Verbs. Let’s recap, shall we?
Sunday
We started last Sunday doing a live set and interview on WZLX’s Boston Emissions with Anngelle Wood. Anngelle has been a great supporter of the band we are extremely appreciative of that.
Check out their podcast of our in-studio appearance at http://wzlx.radio.com/2010/04/23/boston-emissions-april-25/. It’s the second audio file in the list and fast forward to the 9:40 mark. We played two songs acoustic: The Men East and Wishbone. Anngelle also played two of our recorded tracks: Matchbook Maps and Makeshift Container. We did some interviewing as well and made some requests. It was an all around swell time.
Thursday
We got our new cd’s in! Just in time for our EP release show. Good timing.
Saturday
We played our second ever EP release show, and hot damn was it a good time. We played with a bunch of great bands. Started out with The Maquis who were quite good. We went on second and played what we could only describe as a great set. The crowd was great, and we sold some of our brand spanking new cd’s and tshirts. We were followed by The Dirty Truckers, The Willows (also playing a cd release and a great band we’ve played with a few times), and finally by The Wrong Reasons. That was a seriously great show. And Mike will take to his grave that he played while having a 100+ degree fever…clearly one of the defining moments of his life.
Sunday
MayFair! This is a seriously great event, and it was an amazing day for playing outdoors. This was our third outdoor festival and it was by far the best weather we’ve ever had for it. Lots of people, delicious Brazilian barbecue, and another great set.
Thank you to everyone who tuned in, came out to shows, bought our music, or just supported us in general. It’s always appreciated.
And thanks to Morgan for helping put so much of it together. He doesn’t get enough thanks, but does a lot.

New Song: The Men East
The title track of our upcoming EP (and also the last of the bi-weekly releases) is The Men East. This song has a little different feel than what we’ve done in the past, but not so drastically. We love this track (that’s why we named the EP after it) and we hope you do as well.
We hope you’ve enjoyed all 4 songs we’ve released in the last 2 months.
