A Weekend of Space Parties

This was the big weekend- Boston and New York Space Parties.
Earthlings, let me tell you:
These shows were PHENOMENAL.
Michael the Robot and Skiptronica provided the hip spaces for our parties to go down. And our parties were PACKED. I'm going to try to get some video up from New York Space Party asap. These parties were the real testing grounds for our new DIY show equiptment. We bought some JBL's, a 12 channel xynx mixer, a compressor, and a power-amp right before the tour. Marshall has become quite the sound guy and, thanks to his efforts, we absolutely screamed in both tiny rooms.
The coolest part?
Everyone knew the lyrics! We're a young band working our asses off. It's beyond rewarding when you travel the country and find that your songs are sticking in people's heads. A room full of silly drunk girls screaming "I'll Take It For Love!"
Priceless.

Baltimore.

According to Wikipedia, Baltimore has the second highest rate of homicides in the United States. There is a roughly 15% chance that you will be vanquished each time you set foot in Baltimore. Luckily, the Sidebar is a hearty bar and they're on our side. The side of good? Perhaps just the side of space. Heres to not getting involved in a Frontier Brothers gang war.

We play all sorts of places. In other words, we're not snobs. Posh clubs, frat parties, punky house parties, and dive bars- whatever. The Sidebar is a REAL dive- the type of crusty old rock club where diseases are born (and dreams are made). I have a sneaking suspicion that these Baltimorians aren't prepared for our brand of space-pop.

We'll see.
I'll be back with a post-show report.

Hopefully..

Every time I wake up, I'm in North Carolina.

Maybe they should have called it "The Frontier Brothers big ole' Nort Carolina tour" because it seems like we've been here forever. Every morning I seem to wake up in North Carolina. Its beautiful, sure, but perhaps we should be moving on. For the sake of diversity, we played three distinct types of shows:

Durham - An official Duke sponsored gig at the campus grill marked by supportive students, and soggy tacos.

Winston-Salem - A Fraternity party at "Pig Pickins." The fraternity kept asking for Jessie's Girl. Sorry.

Spencer - An outdoor picnic at the Spencer Gazebo. Family fun.

The shows were, on the whole, quite successful. We just have to keep hitting this tour spots over and over again and we will build momentum. 

And as you know, "its all for the sake of momentum." Tomorrow we'll head out to Baltimore and then, the big weekend - New York and Boston.

Oh gosh, its going to be great.
