New Additions to the Midriff Fam... Oh, and other music related stuff
Feel it Hot! Hot! Hot!.... and damn it's humid. Can you feel it... yes you can.
There are some goings-on here at Camp Midriff and I figured we'd let you all in on it. First off...
Shows, shows, shows....
We are super psyched that some of our roster were asked to participate in the Band in Boston Podcast Residency that is going on at PA's Lounge in Somerville this week. Band in Boston (bandinbostonpodcast.com) has quickly become the best and most relevant weekly source of finding out what is going on in and around the Boston music scene. We are huge fans and honored to be a part of the celebration. Here is how we are involved...
Tuesday 8/19, Greg Lyon (Spanish Armada, Pending Disappointment) will be performing a solo set on the Party Stage and the following night, Wednesday 8/20, Eldridge Rodriguez will be headlining the Main Stage with a stripped down set. Please come out everybody and support the "Little Podcast that Did". Check in with them often, you'll always find something new and exciting. Please check PA's Lounge (paslounge.com) for set times and info.
Also on the 20th of Aug.... Scuba will be at the Middle East Upstairs. So, that's two ways you can catch Midriff bands this Wednesday.
On Sept. 3rd the Spanish Armada will be at the Mid-East in all their glory and on 9/25 Eldridge Rodriguez will be at the Mid- East with our friends from Detroit, Child Bite (childbite.com) as part of a Ryan's Smashing Life Blog (http://ryanssmashinglife.blogspot.com ) showcase.
Next month you will be able to wear us around everywhere. Midriff Records T-Shirts will be available through our website and feature the new Midriff logo on a Black T-Shirt. Dig it! Keep checking the website for ordering details.
Discs you'll be listening to in the future? We got 'em. Get Help's debut disc "The End of the New Country" featuring Tony of The Beatings and Mike of Strikes Again is confirmed for a Oct. release date and the debut Spanish Armada disc is confirmed for a Jan. '09 release. You will need both... expect them.
In other Midriff news, Eldridge Rodriguez has finished mixing his follow up to 2007's "This Conspiracy Against Us" and Ian EEE Adams has finished the recording his debut solo disc (produced by Eldridge Rodriguez). Both discs are presently untitled but details will be passed on as they are available. Midriff is planning a disc of re-mastered Beatings material to be released next year to commemorate the band's 10th anniversary. The disc will include re-mastered versions of their earlier Ep's and singles as well as live and unreleased tracks. Repackage!... we know, but most of you missed it the first time.
Camp Midriff has "Baby Fever"... we would like to congratulate Midriff founder Mike "The Fox" Italiano and his wife Susannah on the birth of their daughter, Elise, last month. And we extend our congrats to Beatings drummer Dennis Grabowski and his wife Amy Ward on the birth of their daughter, Olive Marie, last week. And....... if that's not enough rocker/baby news for ya'.... congrats to Ian EEE Adams and his wife Jennifer on the birth of their son Zepherin this past weekend. Whoooooo. Is there a dirty diper in a box of jewel cases or has it always smelt like that around here.
Finally... Congrats to Midriff founder and Beatings member Tony Skalicky on his engagement to girlfriend Ann Lepore. The couple live in the NYC area, so if you bump into them buy them a drink.
That's all for now. See you next Fall.
