Ringing in 2011


Hey everyone! So after wrapping 2010 with great success, we're off to conquer 2011. Let's take a minute to discuss the end of last year. We had a great time seeing some old friends in New York when we played at Joe's Pub. There's a short video you can see here. New York is my favorite place in the world, and it was so awesome to bring some No BS! love to the Big Apple.

We also played back in town for our 2nd annual canned food and coat drive. I don't know the totals on how much everyone brought in, but I know Rand had a big car load to take to the organizations the next day. Great job RVA! We also went up to play a private show for the Joker's New Year's Association in Philadelphia. Words cannot explain the awesomeness that is the Mummers parade in Philly on New Years. We were part of a pre-party celebration, and all I can say is these people are the real deal! Check out this link for a bit of an explanation.

New Year's Eve was a great time in Petersburg at the Sycamore Rouge for a burlesque event. For those who are unfamiliar, the theater in Petersburg is a great non-profit facility that regularly hosts some amazing shows. Check it out if you haven't already.

And last but not least, we had a great review from PopMatters. I think they hit the nail on the head, saying our "insistence on approaching [our] collective as a rock band seems to have served [us] well." The review does a great job vocalizing what we were trying to capture when we put out the latest record. Speaking of "No BS!" we are close to the official vinyl release. Look for more information as we get details.

We'll see y'all at The Camel on Friday Jan. 21 for the first gig of 2011!
