New Music

It’s a new month, which means it’s time for some new music! The newest installment of Keep Your Ear To the Door features two solo acoustic songs done by AJ Butler. Check them out – we think you will dig the intimacy of the recordings:

“The Grove” – A 10 part drawing series

We thought it be cool to explore the idea that if there was a stereogrove, what would it look like, who would live there, and what kinds of things would go on there. What we’ve come up with so far is a series of drawings based on this “dreamscape” realm where instruments and musical equipment grow on trees. This first series depicts the grove from various viewpoints. All artwork done by Tony Hollums. 8×10 prints are available to purchase. Check it out: http://stereogrove.com/the-grove/

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.

“Keep it on man, keep, keep, keep it on”  – Stereogrove

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.

Hey Friends and Strangers,

For those of you who attended the Bills Bar show, you now get to have a piece of it.  For those of you who missed the show, you can listen to it and pretend you were there. And there is nothing wrong with pretending, I do it all the time. In fact after this I am going to go back to being a Ninja.

So with out further hesitation please help your self to this copy of the Bill’s Bar Show. It’s a great quality recording, with great tracks that half of which we don’t have recorded yet.
Shake it
Lost Love
Can’t you see
Down in the Water
Shit Kickin’
Mannish Boy

Download is FREE  so please grab away, pass it around to friends, and let us know your thoughts, fond memories, or nightmares from that show. Also check out the cool graphic that plays in the background…..pretty snazzy.
