Friends -

It’s been some time since we’ve last spoken.  Our last public performance (save for a Virginia tour last month) was at the Warhol Museum in Summer 2010.  From your perspective, we’ve been quiet, but here at GN,S Headquarters, we’ve been as busy as ever over the past two years writing, recording, mixing, and preparing a new album for release.  We promise it will be worth the wait.

To be honest, it’s felt like we’ve been on tour over the past two years.  With a member in New Jersey, and the rest of the crew seven hours away in Pittsburgh, working on this new album every other weekend means that our return to live shows doesn’t feel much different to us in the travel department.  But, of course, the opportunity to play in front of you after playing only for microphones and ourselves for two years is a difference we’re heartily welcoming.

We cordially invite our Pittsburgh friends to join us this upcoming weekend (show listings here), and to the rest of you, we’ll be coming to a set of speakers or headphones and a town near you soon.

Thanks to everyone who made this past Saturday at Brillobox so great!

If you missed it, here’s the highlight reel:

• The Bloodsugars went on first and filled the room with their infectious indie-disco-funk-rock. They had everyone moving by the end of their set! There were also two broken guitar strings and they never missed a beat.
• The Delicious Pastries invited a DJ friend to spin between sets. He did a great job of matching the inter-set music with the upcoming bands!
• We played 2nd. The floor was packed with people for the set. It was really great to have people singing along with all the words. It’s a bit strange to get used to.
• The Delicious Pastries closed out the night with the unveiling of their new lineup. Watching Jesse on the drums lived up to everything that one could hope for!

Also, The Bloodsugars released their new album entitled, “I Can’t Go On, I’ll Go On” a week or so ago and it’s great. Fans of Michael Jackson will love it! Get it at theboodsugars.com.
