Two new shows to announce
Good news, we have two new shows to announce, both with The Willows.
The first is 4/10, a Saturday, at The Midway Cafe. We’ve never played there before and it’s always exciting to play new places. We’ll be playing with The Willows and The Vic Morrows.
The second is 5/1, also a Saturday, at the Middle East Upstairs. We’ll be playing with The Willows, Dirty Truckers and Joel Fletcher & the Wrong Reasons.

Great Scott Roundup: Joey vs. Bronchitis
First things first, thanks to the bands who played (and played excellently we should say: Spouse, The Beatings, Parlour Steps), but most of all thanks to Ryan over at RSLBlog.com for putting together by far one of the best bills we’ve ever been a part of.
We’d also like to thank our lead singer Joe for powering through a bout of bronchitis to kick ass at the show last night. I understand it was a lot of over the counter drugs, cough drops and Jameson’s that got him through.
Also, there were more drunk girls dancing to our songs (and professing their love to those on stage). This is becoming a recurring theme that we would like to see continued.
And lastly, we played our first cover ever. Nate won the drawing to see who got to choose the first song. His choice was Rearviewmirror by Pearl Jam. We busted that out last night to end the show, which was a good time. I believe Jacob has the next choice, we’ll see what he has in store for our next show.
Next show: Feb. 24th at Church in the Fenway area of Boston. Until then, enjoy.

Mid East Upstairs Roundup: Action Verbs 1, Engagements 0
We sincerely want to thank everyone that stuck around to watch us play last night at the ungodly time of 12:40. We kept it short and sweet and we all thought it went exceedingly well. There were a surprising amount of people left after the great show put on by the four bands before us (Oranjuly, Blizzard of 78, Old Jack, and the Forest Fires).
Now that does not mean drama was not involved. Apparantely, the Action Verbs catalog is entertaining and dance worthy enough to get engaged women to dance with men who are not their fiancees, and that apparently doesn’t go over well with said fiancees. A verbal argument ensued and an attempt to rip the ring off her finger commenced. And then they seemingly drunkenly made up and stumbled out together…really everyone had a good time.
Ahhh, til the 21st at Great Scott…hope you all can make it out then.
Set list was as follows:
Awesome
Canary
The Men East
Wishbone
Foghorn
Fake Roland
Bustop

Action Verbs to Play Great Scott in Allston, January 21st!
Hey all-
We’re really excited about this one. Ryan at RSLBLOG.com has put together a great show at Great Scott and asked us to join the bill, and who are we to turn him down. This is a venue we’ve really been looking forward to playing, and it’s got a great lineup.
We’ve actually played with Parlour Steps before and they are really quite good. After seeing this lineup I gave my first ever listen to both The Beatings and Spouse, and holy crap I’m duly impressed…these are two really good bands that I can’t believe has taken me this long to find out about. This is going to be an awesome show.
So here’s the info:
