Our CD Release party will be held at The Clubhouse on Fri, Dec 4th.

For real this time!

Please join us! It's going to be a great night.

We're going to use the back bar and back dining room for our party,
complete with plenty of room for chillin, a dance floor for dancin, a
pool table and two fun bands!

The Red Skunk Jipzee Swing Band will join us in the festivities and
perform at 7.

The Tipsy Gypsies will play 2 sets starting at 8.

The Revelry will be all night.

We will be asking $15 dollars at the door, but that INCLUDES a CD!

If you already have a disc, bring it and get in for $5.

Now that we have an actual party set in stone, we would love nothing
more than to see everyone come out in force and enjoy the night with
us!

Our new disc is here, and we're very happy to share it with you. Catch a listen at our website or our myspace for a few preview tracks.

Go ahead, buy the disc. Put an ear on it. 

Consume a small amount of libations and let the music engulf you. 

I promise you won't regret it. 

Thanks to everyone involved in making this happen!

The album ‘Lipstick Holdup’ is finally completed! 

We’re pretty stoked on how it sounds, and we hope you’ll agree. We’re gonna make it a grand party for the ages. 

The Red Skunk Jipzee Swing Band will be opening and selling their stellar cd as well! These kids are kick ass, make sure you check em out.

Downtown Brew, San Luis Obispo, CA
Friday the 13th, November 2009
$15 at the Door, Includes CD

Initial drum tracks were recorded at Laurel Lane Studios, SLO, CA, engineered by Kristian Ducharme (happy birthday!). All remaining tracks were engineered by Russell Jewell at Grand Central Music Store(after hours! Thanks Dan!). Mixed and mastered by expert engineer Jason Mariani at Brotheryn Studios in Ojai, CA.

All of that equals sonic goodness for your ears!

The Tipsy Gypsies won second place for Best Song at the New Times Music Awards on Saturday night.
We showed up immediately following a show we played earlier in the day just in time to see the end of the Damon Castillo Band’s set. We had a good time, drinking and laughing at the event in all of it’s silliness, when all of a sudden they called us to the stage.
It turns out that the judges liked ‘Love Don’t Come Cheap’, a song from our upcoming album and we won second place.
So thanks New Times and everyone who put on the show, and cheers to second place!

Come get your best moves on, the dance floor will be primed and ready. We will likely be consuming whiskey Friday, so if you wanna hear us swing, now's your chance!

"We're the Tipsy Gypsies and we love you!"

Hello,
There once was a time, long ago, when the Tipsy Gypsies played at the Clubhouse in San Luis Obispo. It was a glorious time, and fun was had by all. However, there was an equipment malfunction that nearly destroyed the entire event, only to be saved at the last minute by the gracious bartender who promtly delivered a brand new chair upon which to sit.
Who wants to do that again?

We do.
The Tipsy Gypsies will be perfoming at the Clubhouse in San Luis Obispo on Friday, June 5th, from 7 to 10.
We will be performing our new bossa nova tune, "Camille", as well as some refined versions of original material from our upcoming CD.
If you can't find time on friday, there will be one more performance this month:
The Tipsy Gypsies at The Cliffs in Shell Beach, Friday, June 19th from 4 to 7.
We hope to see you at the shows!
 
Keepin it tipsy so you don't have to,
The Tipsy Gypsies.

Successfully wrapped drum tracks last Sunday for our new album.

We are working at Laurel Lane studios, the Central Coast's best kept secret. The tones coming out of this place are bar none! And Kristian is one of the quickest and easiest-to-work-with engineers I've ever had the pleasure to record with.

The studio is run by the Damon Castillo band, and we want to give them props for helping us out. Check out their new album, 'Laurel Lane' , it's killer!

More to come....

It was a packed house.
"The Sheik Of Araby", a hit from the twenties, was just hitting it's
peak. Toan and I were trading solos and trying to outdo each other,
unleashing a furious barrage of speed picking licks.
Just when it seemed we couldn't bring the energy up any higher, the drum stool that I sat on broke in half.
I fell backwards onto the ledge of the stage and just kept on playing, laughing hysterically. The place light up.
We finished the song and I stood up to an uproar of applause. I said
something dumb on the microphone and picked up my stool, in three
pieces. One piece fell to the floor with a loud thump and an eruption
of laughter was heard.
The bartender brought over another chair and we launched right into the next song.
It was a great night.
