We wanted to give you a quick update with what’s been going on with Stereogrove and what you can expect from us in 2010.
Keep Your Ear To The Door
We’ve added some new songs to the “Keep Your Ear To The Door” Series – The series includes jams and song ideas in a rough form. The idea was to be able to let people hear how songs start out in the writing process as well as sharing the bits and pieces of musical awesomeness that happen when we jam. All the songs in this series are recorded in our practice space and mixed by our very own Tony Hollums. Since our last addition came in November, we’ve uploaded three new tunes to cover December, January, and February.
You can stream & download the songs by going here:
Upcoming Shows
2010 is going to be a year that we find ourselves getting out to many cities and towns throughout the Northeast. From Portland to Philly and Worcester to Syracuse, we are hard at work trying to fill the schedule in hopes of spreading the sounds of Stereogrove. We’ve truly appreciated all of the support over the years and we wouldn’t be where we are now without you guys. Our hope is that 2010 will bring your continued support and enthusiasm for what we do. This coming Saturday we will be heading up to Mt. Snow to play at the Rail Jam for the 3rd year in a row. A few weeks later we’ll be heading south back to NYC to play at the Bitter End and then on to Harrisburg, PA for the Millennium Music conference.
FETZER FEST III
On March 27th we’ll be rocking the Fetzer Fest at the Crocodile Rock Café in Allentown, tickets can be purchased at http://www.stereogrove.com/fetzerfest
Yo yo yo! Big ups and big thanks to everyone who came to Porter Belly’s in Brighton this past Saturday to hang and jam with us! We had a great time as always, and we it was awesome to see some familiar faces as well as some new ones too. Also, thanks to Devon and John H. who provided their vocal stylings to add to the good vibes that night – you guys are awesome and we want to jam with you again very soon! As a matter of fact, Matt Smith will be playing a special acoustic performance with John H. (Johnny Blackout) at Harpers Ferry in Allston on Tuesday, 1/26/10 so come check that out if you’re around. We have a bunch of shows coming up in February – from Vermont to NYC to PA and maybe somewhere in between, so check out our calendar for more info on those. Also stay tuned for some big news about our upcoming “Live From The Bridge” album, which we’re putting the finishing touches on now. We’re planning some more shows in and around Boston in the upcoming months, and we’ll definitely have some goodies to share with you in a material form that you’re gonna love. That’s about it for now – drop us a line anytime. We love you all, and lookin forward to seeing you again very soon…
So the holidays are upon us and everyone is going crazy trying to find the right gift for someone. Well, after you’re exhausted spending all that time with your crazy uncle or your cousin with the drooling problem, get loose and unwind this New Year’s Eve weekend at Toad in Cambridge on that Saturday (Jan. 2nd) with the band, and with a crazy after-party entitled “Take it to the Limit”. You can check it out on Facebook as well.
Also, to spice it up a bit, here is another new sex toy for your ear canal. Part of an ongoing collection of music called Keep Your Ear to the Door. It’s a tasty romp of a slide guitar jam called “Livin in Hell” and we just may play it at Toad. Let us know what you think.
Nothing like a free Download. In case you don’t know about it or don’t have it. Here is your free download of the month. A song called High Tide. We may never get this song recorded so its your only way to hear to it. We are going to give songs away regularly. Either jams or tunes that we decided to write for fun. So stay tuned.
So its a bit late, however I did want to thank everyone who came out to this recording event and after party. I myself had an AWESOME time, and I know the rest of the band did as well. Hectic night for sure but it was totally worth it. So to everyone who took the time and the funding to come out, rock out, and enjoy yoursleves, The band truly thanks you for everything you have done for us so far. Thanks to you we were able to pay for the tracking and a part of the mixing.
On that note: If you came to the show and you didn’t pick up a poster, then let us know, and we will get it to you.
For us, we will now continue on spreading the tunes, and the new name Stereogrove. First order of business is getting the money up to mix the tracks, master the tracks and get the album manufactured. So we got some shows coming up at portobellies as well as other possibilities for us play live that you should come out too. First up is November 14th, so get your drinking hat cleaned up and ready for another fun Saturday night at everyone’s favorite Irish pub.
