NEWS:

11/08/11 - If you've been looking at the SHOWS page, you probably noticed it's getting a little sparse. Don't you worry though, we're booking up 2012 currently and will start filling up that calendar very soon. Also, we look forward to beginning to record our second album in the early part of next year as well.


11/07/11 - On Friday, November 11th, we are opening for The Hawkeyes(http://www.reverbnation.com/hawkeyes) at The Blue Moon in Shepherdstown. Then on Saturday, we take the main stage at Bulls & Bears in Hagerstown. Come out and support some independent music.


10/08/11 - It is with great sadness that we share the news that our friend and number one fan, Shuffleboard Jim, passed away this morning in his sleep. He had been struggling with illness for a few weeks now. He will be missed.


9/28/11 - On October 8th, we are playing at a fundraiser being held at Circle D Farm in Woodbine, MD. Long story short, the Hoffman family holds this fundraiser every year in memory of one of their own, who was a police officer that died in the line of duty. They raise money with this event, all of which goes to two charities. This event is on Saturday, 10/8 from 1pm to 7pm, will have two bands- Soul Island Rebels & Hucklebuck, DJ, Horseshoe tournament, basketball, tennis, volleyball, raffles, mini golf, face painting, moonbounce, along with free food, drink, wine, and beer! $20 for tickets in advance, $25 the day of. You typically spend that much or more when you go out to see a live band considering the cost of dinner and bar tab, so you are really getting a lot for your money here while helping raise money for a worthy cause. www.circledfarm.com

8/15/10 - Well another Heltapolooza has come and gone. The jam was fun but bittersweet. It was JJ's last show with us before leaving for grad school. No doubt he will be back for the holidays but we will miss him in the meantime. He added a lot to the band in musicianship and camaraderie. And his hoots were pretty badass. We wish him the best and look forward to going down for visits and tearing up the south.
