Yes there are some unflattering songs... yes there are some blasphemous ones.  Yes, ASCAP will be clamoring for their dues.  But it was all worth it.  For those of you who missed out, here's a little sample courtesy of The Arkansas Times (yes, David is wearing a Balzac Ty-Vek jacket and matching hat):

Tomorrow night (Friday, 5/22/2009) at 7:45 PM, we hit the stage at Riverfest.  Specifically, we hit the Triple-S Alarm Stage in North Little Rock.  We're guessing those three esses stand for: Sweetness, Sweetness, and Some More Sweetness.

And yes, we'll be playing right before legendary father-of-Gwen-Stefani's-child(ren?) GAVIN ROSSDALE!!!  We've seen his promo shots and believe us when we say: he is every bit as dreamy these days as he was when Bill Clinton was in office.  Get ready to swoon.

And that, my friends, is how to spend a Friday evening.

The Boston Phoenix along with Jim Beam is presenting a free* show with American Princes and New Orleans' Galactic on next Wednesday, May 6th at Paradise Rock Club in Boston.  This is pretty exciting for us as we love both newspapers and bourbon (we used to love tea parties as well, but someone had to go and ruin that for a while). And it should excite you, too, because if you drink too much and pass out on the way home you can just use those promotional copies of the Phoenix for some pretty comfy street bedding.

* The Catch: you have to sign up here to RSVP.  Unlike other RSVP events, however, we think this isn't just a first-come-first-serve kind of event.  Our understanding is that tickets will be distributed by a sort of lottery. The order in which you sign up may have some kind of influence on the result.  Honestly, we aren't a hundred percent sure what the details are with the ticket giveaway procedure.  But we do know that Galactic brings out the throngs.  So if you want to catch American Princes for free in a whiskey-soaked environment then your only chance is to sign up for tickets asap.  Doors are at 7.  We will play at 8. Bring it.
