hello ya'll, eric the violin player here.  today is a very exciting day.  today marks the beginning of our third album, which many of you have been asking about all year.  for those of you who have heard all of the songs at the shows, we are now putting them in a digital audio format for ya!  im in the midst of writing lyrics for "The Partier" right now.  first time ive ever sat down and written lyrics.  we'll see what happens.  if you have any suggestions let me know.  be sure to check out our upcoming shows and news at our website. 
 
also, just to let ya'll know, we have started playing "occurred to" again.  you've told us how much you like it, and now we're giving it to ya!  and it actually sounds pretty good for playing it once or twice in the past few years.  so be sure to come check it out.

howdy ya'll, eric here. we're hanging out at the stable in st. louis. this blog finds us well. we've been out only a few days, but chris and i have kicked our colds we had the first few days. thanks to uncle george for letting us stay at his pad here. always a good time of late night guitar playing. the famous bar shows went great. a little slower than last year it seemed, but that economy, boy i tell ya. hope it's not hitting any of you too hard. almost show time, but we're heading to NY tomorrow and am excited to hang out with friends and family for the holidays. if you have any fun questions about or for us, i'll be here and happy to answer them for your bank of useless knowledge!

KTCL would like you to sign up to take their music surveys. Twice a year they include ALL local music (once to see who plays Big Gig, and the other for Hometown For The Holidays). The rest of the time it's mostly national acts (Linkin Park, Rise Against, Incubus etc.) with some local artists thrown in to see if you think they're ready for the big-time. These surveys have gotten a lot of bands signed including The Fray, The Flobots, Tickle Me Pink, Meese, Single File and more!

Here's what you do. Click this: http://ratethemusic.com/signup.cgi/ktcl, sign up, and when we send a survey to your mailbox fill out the survey. Tell us what you like, (Meniskus!) what you hate, and what you're sick of. The more honestly you answer the better we sound to you.

Listen to the top 10 local bands that make the survey on the air between December 11th and 17th on Channel 93.3, and no matter who the top 3 artists are plan to come see them live at Andrews on Lincoln December 19th where we'll announce who wins, and award a Live-Prize of $1,000 to the best performance of the night (determined by crowd noise)!

Thanks for supporting local music and good taste!

Viva Colorado!

Stream "Brigade" (Radio Edit) from KCCQ's website.

And if you're in Colorado, we look forward to seeing you tonight at Owsley's in Denver, and tomorrow night at Waterloo Icehouse in Louisville.
Full details at: www.meniskusband.com

First off, we expect to see you tomorrow night (10/24) at Owsley's in Denver, and preferably Saturday as well at the Waterloo in Louisville. Now that we've gotten that out of the way:

Trick or Vote 2008, Halloween Night, with 3OH!3 at the Gothic Theatre & Meniskus w/ Soundrabbit at the Falcon

Trick or Vote is a nationwide nonpartisan costume canvass taking place on Halloween. A spooky crew of monsters will be out in full force to remind folks to vote, and you can be spooky too.  Studies show that the most effective way to get people to vote before an election is to knock on their doors and encourage them to. And what's the one day when we're all culturally ready for a knock on the door? Halloween! Just 5 days before the General Election.

So while you might be too old to trick or treat, you're never too old to Trick or Vote!

We need canvass volunteers! Sign up now at TrickorVote.org

Volunteers receive free tickets to the Trick or Vote Party: 3OH!3, Meniskus w/ SoundRabbit, bowling, drinks and food!

WHAT: Trick or Vote Denver 2008
WHERE: Gothic Theatre and The Falcon, Denver CO
WHEN: Halloween, Friday Oct 31st, 2008 4pm-into the evening
WHO: New Era Colorado with 3OH!3, Meniskus, and SoundRabbit

Contact: Info@NewEraColorado.org, TrickorVote.org, 720.565.9317

The Friday night show with The Ian McFeron Band has been moved from Quixotes to Owsley's Golden Road: 2151 Lawrence St, Denver, CO 80205
Sorry for the last minute change, but this venue will be a far better fit for the raucous crowd and dancing that will make this show go down in history!

And if you can't make it Friday night, we'll see you Saturday at The Waterloo Icehouse on Main St in Louisville.
