This is Brian posting...I just wanted to say hey to all you awesome Roman Holiday friends and share a few things.

First, I'm sure you've noticed how the lineup has changed a little this year. Okay, it changed a lot. First Casey left us in February, and we got Mike, and then Mike got a great job that requires a lot of travel, so he had to leave the band at the end of July. Casey's been filling in and will be with us this Saturday (8/11) at the Light Bar. Patrick quit back in May, leaving me with a lot more work, since I took over lead vocals (and being the ham I am, I'm loving it).

We'd like to welcome our new drummer, Rob Wade (www.robstarmusic.com), who is an incredible, accomplished drummer and multi-instrumentalist. He's going to bring a groove to the band you've not yet heard, so make sure you see us at our public "Coming Out" party at Carlos and Charlie's on September 28th (unless we get another public gig sooner than that).

You'll see a few changes to the sets and lots of really fun, new music that doesn't stray too far from the fun rocking party band you've come to love, but it gives us a lot more variety and a lot more reason to inspire you to "drop your pants and dance".

Thanks for bearing with us through all this - come out to the Light Bar for some vintage RH goodness (especially if we can get Patrick to come out).

I leave you with this (which made me smile more than anything...):

"The other band that has rocked my world is Roman Holiday (http://www.romanholidayband.com/). They stepped in when The Recliners had to cancel out on a reception I was hosting for a conference last week. Roman Holiday is a three piece with one of the most amazing bass players I've seen on stage in a long time. He plays like John Taylor and sings like... well, whoeverthehell he wants to. They do AC/DC, The Beastie Boys, Smash Mouth, The Ramones... well the song list is on the web site. AND they'll be adding Duran Duran soon! Woot! They are playing on Saturday at 10pm at The Light Bar, which is located across the street from the Frost Bank Building at 4th and Congress. Their regular drummer had to drop out due to work but the sit in (a chic drummer and she's hot!) is really great and if they hadn't told me I would not have known they hadn't rehearsed."
