Happy St. Patrick's Day everyone!
We here at club Philth hope you're doing wonderfully and are enjoying the pleasures of the weather change and aren't experiencing the allergies/season change the way Stephanie, Robbie and Chris are - which is with a box of tissues and chicken soup.
Big show review!
Well, if you weren't fortunate enough to have made it out to the show at the Stone Pony last week, BABY DID YOU MISS A HELLAVA SHOW. Arguably the best Philth show to date; the band pwned the Asbury Park venue and couldn't feel better about how the night went.
Notables about the show:
Not only did the fabulous 'Out of State Horns' appear in full effect (Joe Schmidt-Saxes/Patrick Smith-Trumpet,Flugel/Cameron MacMannus-Trombone) but this show marked the return of the incredible Aleks Ozolins on Keyboards. His last time gracing the stage with the band was September of last year for our show @ Tommy Doyle's in Boston (which, we'll be back at soon!)
The night marked the release of our official DropCard EP which offers (for the first time) a digital downloadable version of our new version of 'Teardrops [Version 2]", "King Of Wishful Thinking" (by Go West), as well as a few very special live recordings. This downloadable dropcard is ONLY available at live performances right now. And it's only $2!
Most excitingly, our friend
Rachael Yamagata who we were given the daunting task of taking the stage AFTER, was gracious enough to not only stick around during our set with her whole band (which was marvelous btw) but to JOIN US ON STAGE for our rendition of 'King of Wishful Thinking'! What a fun time. She's such a sweet heart! Check out a video from the show of the very special moment!
Our good friend (and fantastic photographer) Nick Dubois was able to capture some great moments from the show - here's a little taste - in addition to our new profile photo!
Oooh la lahh is right! We know, we know!
Recording update:
Robbie, Eric, Chris and Aleks will be working like monkeys hooked up to electrodes these next two weeks to get the rhythm section tracks done for the new recordings. Prepare yourselves for some collaborations with friends, old and new as well some old dogs with new tricks from within
