hellllooooooooo out there......
is there anybody here?
oh well - who cares :) so ok, to let you in on little band shizzz
we got the call to play a gig in deep south jersey, Hammonton to be exact. so what did we do - Well took it! what else......so ok, the advent of this gig is we had to cancel on our photographer.
Yep you read that right, we have decided that ok we'll finally put together that press pack - like we need anymore gigs.....hahahaha - but really I just want that really cool 5 by 7 color glossy photo....Seriously we going to get some photos - the big request for the website, promotional trinkets and such and let you in.....Hey were even going to head into the studio. Yep you heard me right - tired of those live show performances CD's??? we're going to drop coin and get a REAL Demo........
So what's my point? well a buddy of mine from work (Steve if you must know, only other musician at my company) was like I'll give you some advice I learned online. Stay away from Brick Walls, Train Tracks and some other I forget now.....so I go wow such insight. How do you know the number one place to take pictures is in front of a brick wall......

Well hello,
Today i guess i'm just in a chatt'n mood and whats on my mind. The philly music scene....
one, it is hard to get large amount of people out to show and quite another to do it consistantly. Thats where you network of people, friends and to our astonishment other bands come in. Our past show at Brwnies 38 - The Chestnut Room showed us what the local music scene should be about. So a big props to Show 'n Tell band. They came out to support us (and do some promotion of their own) but how cool! These guys work and work for the music. Along with that i got to spend a great deal of time talking with the guys from The Deciples of Groove and hopefully our network grows.

I guess my point is props to all the bands that are not only great music but great people as well....

Well if your hear reading this then I guess you've seen our live page :)
let the gigs pour in......BnB has been starting a buzz or a murmur at least. We're getting good reputation of good music, fun time and working relation ship with the owners and bookers. You know when you play your first gig in an entirely new place let along area and the agent whips their book out and books you for the next couple of months. They must have liked something. That being said. When is gigs just to many gigs?
This is a very hard question to answer. What line to balance between personal, work and music is hard enough but when gigs line up two and three within 7-8 days? Is it when you talk to a fan and mention the next gig and they say isn't that like tomorrow? Not only wearing out fans but what about the band it self?
Well with that all in your head I hope to see all of your smiling faces at The Chestnut Room at Brownies 38th tonight!!!!!

The real BnB :)

A hearty “thanks” to all those who have come out to support us this fall. We had a rockin’ night at the Clubhouse on 9/24, a fun time with Showin’ Tell & Barakus at The Five Spot on 9/28, and we loved playing on a great stage & bar set-up at a new venue when we played all night at Double D’s Saloon in Vineland, NJ, this past Saturday, 10/1.

We know it’s a bit of a hike for our Philly Phriends & Phans to get to Vineland, but if there’s any way you can get to this bar when we play there November 5 or December 10, you MUST see this place!!! The bar has a “brand new” feel to it, probably because the poker, blackjack & slots ARE brand new. The overall set-up is nice and original, with pool tables and a sports bar feel in one room, and a cool lounge-scene with live music in another. Take a bus, train, plane or car & get out to Double D’s for a good time with BeatnikBrown playing ALL NIGHT LONG this winter. Maybe we’ll even pull out some Def Lepperd to fit the Jersey scene!

WE NEED YOUR SUPPORT — come out to Brownie’s on 38th street to see the BnB boys this Thursday night! We’d love to pull a good crowd to this place & get invited back. You can help. Come on out and start the weekend a little early with BeatnikBrown, going on stage at 10 p.m. sharp!

Luv'n ya all! - BnB
