Hope the gig goes well Mike. I won't be there as I really will be 'chillin' in (not so) sunny Scotland :-) Let us know how we can order the new CD won't you?
 
Graeme

Thanks Bill, Graeme
(That pun still kills me!)
We're rehearsing with Noah tonight. I'll ask about distribution options. I can say he's got two cuts on his MySpace page (Crooked & Black Snake) and three other tracks (Maybe We Were Wrong, Woe and Grey On Grey) on noahgabriel.com.  
With any luck, I'll have some live cuts up on my MySpace page next week, I've been waiting until Noah declares the CD officially out.
I hope the weather is kind to you both.
Mike

I checked with Noah and he says Crooked will be available from CD Baby and/or ITunes within the next week (already sent in to them).  
Apparently we are doing the 1st and 3rd sets at Chord On Blues tomorrow, and The Raj will be doing the middle set. That way our fans won't have to wait around until 11pm for NGB to start.
Mike

Finally got round to listening to the 'Crooked' downloads Mike and I'm really liking them. I think Grey on Grey is probably nearest to my listening preference (i.e. harder) but they're all good.
 
Graeme

Thanks Graeme,
Way Down also chugs along pretty well (almost a BTO groove), and there are other rockin tracks on the CD as well, i.e. When I'm Gone, and Can't Stay Here. My recording from the CD release party wasn't as good as I'd wish, but serves to document the night pretty well anyway. I've got one cut up on MySpace from 12-5-09 and will get another up eventually. Sadly Chord-On-Blues runs RED Parlights on the bandstand which just doesn't photograph very well, so no pics from the show to share.
Mike

I've got two cuts from the 12-5-09 Chord on Blues show up on my MySpace page (check my profile): When I'm Gone and Crooked. Sandra Troutman joined us for harmonies on Crooked.

Mike -  
Those are great recordings the bass comes through really well!
 :-)

Well, late announcement, but I only had a short notice...
The Noah Gabriel Band is doing a 90 minute set at the Arcada Theater in St Charles IL tonight from 7 - 8:30, followed by a band called Never Was. The cover is $10 (we're doing the show gratis???). There's also another show coming up in April, more details as time gets closer...
Mike

I love the Arcada Theatre. I used to run the spot there when they would have their theatre organ festivals. Virgil Fox and Peter Nero showed up for a couple of them. It is one of the few originals still in place and functioning. I also used to run lights for a theatre productions that would come through. Back in my days it was an old rheostat board from the 1920's. Who needs the smell of grease paint when you can have sparks and ozone.  
 
Hope you have a good show Mike.  
 
Keith

I'm back and it is a beautiful space with excellent acoustics. There was almost no promo for this show and, with the cover, we played to a paying crowd of about 10....
I'm cutting tape from the show as I write this, so back to work.
 
I'm off to Iowa tomorrow for a rehearsal of 60's and 70's era Dubuque Rock Vets this weekend.

We're playing one set at an original music showcase at Chord On Blues in St. Charles this Saturday, sponsored by Kiss The Sky (an independent record store in the area). There are a bunch of bands scheduled, the show starts at 6, we go on at 10 pm. There will be mini-acoustic sets in between the bands.
 
Noah keeps writing them, we keep doing them.
Mike

We're playing a full 3 hour + show at The House Pub, a very nice little pub next door to Chord On Blues in St. Charles this Friday night, May 7th. We'll start about 9 pm. Some more new songs and a bunch from the first 3 CDs!
 
Mike

let's hope you get a couple of breaks in that 3 hours Mike!
 
Graeme

I would like to check out your Gig but will not be in your area, perhaps some other time. 3 Set Gigs are Cool, I remember having to play four  45 minute Sets with 15 minute breaks back in the 1980's , usually by the end of the 4th Set I always felt like it was a real work out. I usually feel quite musically satisfied after multiple  Sets; playing Bass does that for me . I will look for some of your CD's.
         Sonic Regards _______

Thanks, Graeme and Wolf.  
Actually, it's going to be two ~80 minute sets with one 20 minute break, in a pub small enough to be a coffee shop (although there is an upstairs bar as well).
 
I just finished editing slides from our 12-5-09 CD release party into a video, Crooked. It, and  also two tracks from our 3-18-10 Arcada Theater gig, are on Myspace
It's looking like this summer will be busier than last year!
