April 16th BRICKHOUSE SHOW in planning!

Friday, March 25th, 2005

We are officially putting on a show at…

The Brickhouse (52 Old Main St, St. Albans, WV)
Saturday, April 16th
6:00pm

Tentative Lineup is:
-Vintage Tone
-Fletcher’s Grove
-The Jiants
-One Last Call
-The Redding Brothers

Tickets are $6 in advance, $7 at the door. This will be different than any Brickhouse show you’ve EVER BEEN TO! We’ve got interesting things in the works. We will probably have a “home music video” showing, cheap concessions, and a lot more!

Love you all!

PS. If you want to help out with this event, we’d love to have you in the inner circle…just drop us an email. You’ll still have to pay to get in (it’s expensive to rent the place!), but we will richly reward you with love and still-secret merchandise.

Weekend in Nashville

Tuesday, March 22nd, 2005

Well, we drove a lot this past week. Micah went to Nashville on Tuesday night, and stayed with his friends there, looking around and “scoping out the scene”. He went to a concert and saw Luna Halo perform as well as Pale Blue Dot, a kind of country-rock-hippy band. Then on Friday, he drove back up to Lexington, and met Siah and Gabe (who were driving from WV). There we played with Zack Damron at Common Grounds, and met some interesting people. Then we all loaded back up and drove to Nashville, arriving there at 4am, and giving us all the opportunity to try Red Bull for the first time. Micah drank one that night, thinking it tasted nasty, but the next day, he gulped down another one. It must have altered his brain chemistry. Anyway, we spent all day Saturday looking around at big houses, and saw a bunch of weird ones. We went down Music Row, and saw all the tourist stuff, and everything. We almost did some street-performing, but had left our guitar behind accidentally.

Anyway, that was our weekend. Now we’re back. Micah randomly cut his hair when he was asleep. And that’s all.

The Last Minute Brickhouse Show SLAMMED

Monday, March 14th, 2005

Okay, so I don’t really know what I meant by “SLAMMED”, but it made it sound more interesting, didn’t it?

So anyway, we got a call at 12:30am Friday night (Saturday morning), and found out that we were wanted for a Brickhouse show Saturday night. So we did it. And it rocked. The lineup:

The Present Crisis
The Redding Brothers (that’s us)
Another Band that was real hard
Better Off Dreaming – awesome!
Neutral Agreement – rock-o-rific!

And BTW, we’re experimenting with different messageboard systems, so try this one out: http://redding.boardsxp.com/

Well, it was that time again. The ever-popular Rendezvous Local Talent Showcase went off without a…err, too many…hitches. Here was the lineup:

Scott & Claire Rogan (returning bluegrass maestros)
Aaron Johnson (debuting violinist)
Tyler Gillis & Grant Carol (new guitar & vocal performers)
July (returning vocal & guitarists…who sold out of all their cds at this show)
Ryan Angus (returning guitarist & vocalist)
Walt Nordstrom (returning poetic genius)
The Redding Brothers (that’s us)

Everyone was great, by the way.

Rock The Coffeeshop @ Borders

Wednesday, March 9th, 2005

We had a great night last Friday at Borders. Lots of you guys came out, we really enjoyed it, and it even made us feel better (we were all sick that day).

Also in the audience were members of SRO. Check them out.

And if you still haven’t done it, check out the photo of us with the Mystery Machine.

Until next time…
