SABOTEURS and STEEPLECHASERS

It’s November

Been too long since we updated our page… Here’s a quick note to let you know that we’re alive and kicking. We began writing and recording a new record late last year and had to put in hold due to a lot of fun (not really) reasons. But that’s in the past and we’re finally finishing the record right now — and we’re excited to hear what you all think of it! We’ll play a few regional shows this winter and then it’ll be time to hit the proverbial road. More soon! Drop us a line…

Studio update

We’ve been living at Howl Street Studio recording with Shane—off and on for the last couple months—and are really digging the whole vibe. We’ve got seven new tunes in the can (mostly) but haven’t decided how these will be released. That said, 2010 will be the year that they see the light of day.

We’ve had such great people join us for the recording this time around—we think you’ll be pleased with the results.

You can see some candid quick pics here. And don’t forget to follow us on Twitter here.

More soon.

Jay, 1956

We’re playing with our friends Sunday Flood and Sleep Comes Down tonight at the Reptile Palace. Come on down and enjoy the music and a beverage.

As a side note, we’re planning on hitting the recording studio in January to begin recording new music with Shane Hochstetler (recorded SABOTEUR / member of Call Me Lightning). Our first since SABOTEUR.

Watch for more updates this winter.

10th anniversary of 1956

I’ve had the pleasure of making music with this band for ten years now. In order to celebrate this past decade we’re headlining a show where it all began—the Cactus Club in Milwaukee. Stop by on September 12, 2009 and rock out with us to old and new songs, and enjoy a nice glass of whiskey.

Summerfest follow-up

‘Twas a fun and strange gig to be sure. Hearing yourself outside is a shock to the system. That said, we had fun and the crowd seemed to have a good time. Thanks to WMSE, Cascio Interstate Music and the Shepherd Express for their support. Here are a couple clips from the gig: GO

We had the pleasure of rocking Jameson’s in Green Bay last week. Many thanks to Jess and Kendra for getting us up there to perform. Great crowd and a fun time playing 4 brand new songs… Here’s a flyer from the club.

SABOTEUR took 4 years or so to produce…quite a while but we think our patience paid off It’s been approx. a year and one half since we released it—then did the touring thing, radio show thing—solid for 2008. So… we’ve finally gotten back on the horse and begun writing new material for a new release. The good news? The songs are coming—and we think they’re sounding better than ever. Musical, heavy, diverse.

We’ve got two shows on the books for this summer—then it’s back to writing / honing. Stop by one of these to hear some of the old and get a first taste of the new:

June 12 at Jameson’s in DePere, WI

July 1st at Summerfest in Milwaukee, WI (Cascio Interstate Stage)
