How the heck ya been? You havent heard from us in awhile. Rest assured its not because we dont love you anymore. Its just that: a) weve been busy working on a bunch of new and exciting Rigbees stuff, and b) we tend to live by that old email adage our mothers told us as young-unsIf you dont have anything nice to say, then dont spam the bejeezus out of your friends inboxes. Something like that. Anyway, its good to talk again.
So, whats new with The Rigbees, you ask? Lets see
A NEW CD:
Uh-huh. Our new disc, Treading Water in an Angry Ocean, will finally be released next week. Secure online pre-orders are now being accepted at http://rigbees.com/store.html#music. As The Boss would say, Its been a long time comin but its done and we think youll dig it. 13 new tracks, featuring guest appearances by Mike SloMo Brenner, Christopher Daniel & Rod West. Were proud of it and are looking forward to playing these songs live for you real soonon, say, Sat. May 20th (see below). BTW, our great friends at WXPN have already begun spinning one song from the new CD. In the coming weeks, stay tuned for more info re: 88.5 FM and other stations where you can request The Rigbees.
A CD RELEASE PARTY:
Yep. Well be celebrating the new CD release on SAT. MAY 20TH, 7:30 pm downstairs at the wondrous WORLD CAF LIVE.
