Hi Housemates friends,
Lots of news this time around. I've numbered the action items for
easy digestion.

1) Please check out our latest release, "The Chatterbox Ep."
In April, the band hiked up to Brooklyn (okay, Ed was already there)
to record with Washington Social Club's old producer, Roger
Greenawalt. The Ep is the result of our weekend whirlwind.
The Ep is available here:
here: http://cdbaby.com/cd/oliviamancini2
and, shortly, on iTunes and the like.

2) Join us in Philadelphia on Saturday at the
Ellen Powell Tiberino Museum of Contemporary Art
3819 Hamilton St.
Philadelphia PA 19104
The show is an early one. We will likely play around 7. Please check
www.oliviamancini.com for updates.

3) Please join us next week on Thursday, 10/9 at the:
Rock and Roll Hotel
for an event called "SAFE & Sound"
353 H St NE
Washington DC 20002
Price: $10
For a good cause...check out www.dcsafe.org for more info.

4) West Coast tour!
Next month, some members of the Housemates will depart for California
to meet up with some members of Donny Hue and the Colors. Between
them, they will form a group called...Donny Hue and the Colors. But
this Donny Hue and the Colors will feature Housemates songs and Colors
songs and some songs by another talented incarnation, the Shrouded
Strangers. Likely that we'll also play some Kinks and Ronettes.

Please alert your west coast friends! You'll see these following
