Oakland, SF, LA

So many shows! We've got 'em lined up every weekend for the next month. This Friday 1/26 at the Uptown in Oakland, a really really nice little spot, but unfortunately not very well known. We wrote to the East Bay Express music staff to try to get them to come out, not only to promote ourselves, but also the Uptown deserves more credibility than it gets, I think (maybe I should reserve judgment until we've actually played there?) Anyway, it's with The Look, who just took second place in a statewide battle of the bands, and seem to have a great following in the bay area, so hopefully we can get people to come recognize this spot. Plenty of parking! Let's hear you say that about your typical venue.

Then the following Thursday 2/1 at Grant & Green in San Francisco, in the North Beach area. This is kind of a sneaky little gig that we don't know much about, and we're not sure how much of our SF fanbase is gonna hit this one, cause mostly there's more interest in our Bottom of the Hill show (also with The Look!) two weeks later, on Saturday 2/17. A Saturday at Bottom of the Hill... does life get any better for a young rock band in San Francisco?

But wait, we skipped a week! Have no fear, we head down to Los Angeles on Weds 2/7 to play at the Silverlake Lounge. We've played L.A. a handful of times, but this is our first shot at the Silverlake Lounge, which should be cool. Plus we've got a small list of big shot managers and such (did we mention that TMF is currently in the market for a manager?) coming to check us out there, so we're really trying to pack this one in and make it fuckin' awesome... oh wait, that's what we do with all our shows. Except maybe the Grant & Green thing.. but that's North Beach, practically a different country.
