News (but not "The Big News")

We need to play out live in the next few months; some of the shows would feature both of us and some could be The Brian Solo Experience, but all of them would be worth an evening out of the house for you and yours. That's to say they'll be entertaining, either because you'll like the music or we'll mess up and embarrass everyone in the room. Or both.

There are a few coffeehouse-type venues we're considering, such as The Singin' Bean in Lawrenceville (suggestion courtesy of David T. Bakersfield), Java Monkey in Decatur, Starbucks in Lilburn (Lake Lucerne), and Borders (I guess the one in Snellville).

If you've got suggestions or requests, cough 'em up; we haven't played out in three years and it'd be nice to see some old friends on the concert circuit. If we develop any live fan support, we'll eventually try to play Eddie's Attic or something, at which point our Indie Cred Score will rise.

Playing the ever-popular "Taints on Parade"

PS - We once rocked this now-defunct (you're about to see why) coffee shop in Thrillburn called Sweet Aromas. Jake can chime in here, but I think it's safe to say that show was the crappiest of our career thus far. The staff repeatedly told us to decrease the volume during our set - once in the middle of a song - because we were "only supposed to be background noise" for the patrons. Never mind that more than half the people in the joint had arrived for the WB(!)...

Raise your tankard for "background noise", would ya?
