Well, hello Rodeo Republic! I hope you all are doing well! I know, I am. It's been awhile, since I've been on here, so I wanted to pop on and give everyone an update, as to what has been going on.
We moved on from the Happy Armadillo fiasco, and played two shows, back on February 15th & 16th. On February 15th, we invaded the Oui Lounge, and had a great time. Their were some wild women at this gig, and we like wild women! The next night, we traveled down south to Glen Rose, for a show at Hollywood & Vine. This was supposed to be an outdoor show, but alas, the weather was not cooperating again, and we had to move it indoors. We will be back at Hollywood & Vine on March 23rd, and hopefully the weather will be nice, and we can move it outdoors. They have an awesome outdoor patio area, with a huge elevated stage. I'm dying to play on it. For more details on these gigs, please check out Roy's blog here http://royholliday.blogspot.com He goes into more detail on each and every show, that we play, or not play, in the case of the Happy Armadillo. Ok, that's it, I'm done mentioning the Happy Armadillo. They've received enough free pub, from us.
Moving along, aside from the two aforementioned gigs, we've pretty much spent the month of February, working on the new album. We are in the home stretch, and I'm so excited, I can barely contain myself. I finished up all of my guitar parts and backing vocals, this past weekend. We might have to go back in and do an overdub or two, but the heavy lifting is done. Roy still has some vocals to record, and maybe a piano solo on one of the new songs! I'm really pushing for this, so if you see or talk to him, encourage him to do it! Other then that, we are entering the mastering stage. This will take several weeks to complete, but we are still on target for an April 2nd release date. As of press time, 7 of the 13 songs are mastered. That means, that they are completely done!
We are currently running a poll on our Facebook page http://m.facebook.com/sanddollarrodeo to see what song you think should be the lead single from the new album. The nominees are the title track entitled "GPS To Nowhere", another one called "I'll Just Have A Beer", and a slower one called "Tailgate To The Beach". Please visit our Facebook page, follow the link to listen to the songs, and vote for your favorite. We will also be releasing a song called "What Kind Of Life Is This" to Beach Front Radio. They specialize in Trop Rock music, and this song seems to be going over well, amongst the Parrot Heads. The album will be available via itunes, Amazon, and all the other online retailers. We will also have CD's available, if you prefer that.
In other news, we are excited to announce that Sherry Jane Cooke Publishing, is going to publish an interview with us. You can find Sherry's website here http://sherryjanecook.com I'm not sure when the interview will be available, but we will announce it everywhere, once we have a date.
The last bit of news, that I would like to share, is that we have a big show coming up this weekend, at the Across The Street Bar, in Dallas. Across The Street is located at 5625 SMU Blvd., Dallas, TX 75206. We will be co-headlining this show with some good friends. They are also a duo, called August & J. They are promoting their latest album, entitled "40". August & J will also be appearing at South By Southwest, in Austin, later this month. You can check out more information on them, at their official website located here http://www.augustandj.com Also joining us, on this night, will be the 5 Hands Band. They will kick things off around 9:30pm. So grab a friend, date, spouse or significant other, go eat some dinner, and then come out and join us all, for a night of fun! Our set, will consist of a heavy dose of songs from the upcoming album. We are really excited about the show, as well as playing Dallas, for the first time.
Ok, that's it for now. Thanks for reading, and I'll talk to ya soon!
