Good day!

Thanks for all your support through our recent cancellations. We
rarely cancel shows, and having three cancellations in one month due
to circumstances beyond our control was getting a little old. So we're
back at it!

Tonight, 9/4, we'll be opening for Culann's Hounds from San Francisco
at Sam Bond's Garage in Eugene. We'll be on at 9:30--should be a great
night!

Tomorrow, 9/5, we'll be closing the Keizer Labor Day Music Festival in
Keizer, OR. We'll go on at ~7:00. This is a cool-looking new event
organized by local folks and the lineup for the day looks great!

Wow. A Gyo Fujikawa reference. And we're off!

Welcome! This month sees our (once) young heroes working it to bring
you some killer shows in some great venues...including, yes, a couple
of all-ages shows. We've got some new merch on the way, a new logo,
and are putting miles on the new material for a record that we intend
to begin recording in August!

For lots of reasons, I keep hearing a lot of people say how ready they

are for spring this year. Maybe it's the economy, maybe politics,

maybe Snowpocalypse...whatever your reason, come tear it up with us!

We've got new material, a winter of rehearsal under our guitar straps,

and tons of pent-up energy. Lots of shows coming up, so make sure to

head out...

---------------------------------------------

THIS WEEK, NEXT WEEK

---------------------------------------------

Thanks to the Willy Week for the love this week! They mentioned Chad

by name and made reference to Amadan's recent musical growth and

maturity, which are all things we appreciate hearing!

FRIDAY and SATURDAY nights (4/10 and 4/11) are our last in-house

nights at Kells until mid-summer. You know the drill--9:30 to 1:30,

both nights. See you there?

http://www.kellsirish.com/portland/festivalmusic.html

On SUNDAY, 4/26, we'll be at the Doug Fir with Tango Alpha Tango and

Oh Darling opening. Doors at 8:00, show at 9:00, and we will be taking

lots of video and recording that night as well. We're really excited

about this show--come be seen and heard!

Eric and Kevin got kicked out of Canada! Yay!

For solo ET shows, or to hear the story (it's really not that

exciting), come to Kells from 9 to midnight MONDAY - WEDNESDAY next

week (4/13-4/15). Kevin joins Eric at Kells THURSDAY 4/16, and the duo

will be at The Clinton Corner Cafe on THURSDAY, 4/23 from 8 to 10.

Love,

Eric

Get it? Amadan? Fool? Heh-heh....

Right. Sorry. On with it. Our spring show dates are unfolding rapidly! I wanted to call it the "Back With Barrack" tour, but technically, it's not really a tour. And that's a dumb name.

Wow. Maybe somebody else should be writing this post.

---------------------------------------------
THIS WEEK, NEXT WEEK
---------------------------------------------

TONIGHT (2/26)! Eric and Kevin will be performing ACOUSTIC at Madonnathon, an In Other Words production at the Hollywood Theater. The show starts at 7:00, and every one of the ~12 groups performing will be playing one or more Madonna songs of their choosing (but without repeats). The cover is $8 to benefit In Other Words Women's Bookstore and Resource Center. This is an All Ages event! Come out!

NEXT WEEK (3/2 to 3/5) is Eric's SOLO ACOUSTIC week at Kells Irish Restaurant in Portland. As usual, Kevin will be joining on bass on Thursday night. All shows are free, and last from 9 to Midnight.

SUNDAY, 3/8 is a benefit for Leukemia victim Katie Shearer's family at Kelly's Olympian. AMADAN will be performing with Marley, The Polaroids, and Family Gun. The show starts at 8pm, and AMADAN is slated to play at ~9.
