I know, I know, I suck at posting these things ...

But this is a big deal: Over the last couple of years, Todd has become friendly with the band The Smithereens. Any fan of modern rock certainly knows who they are, and casual listeners should know the hits like "Behind The Wall of Sleep", "A Girl Like You" and "Blood and Roses" ... a song currently covered by The Onlymen.

Pat DiNizio, the lead singer/songwriter/guitarist of The Smithereens has over the last few years gone out on some very special solo tours. "The Living Room" concerts have been a way for Pat to connect in an intimate way with his fans by performing ... wait for it .... in their living rooms. These shows have been highly successful and a hell of a lot of fun for fans and the artist.

When Pat was planning his current tour, Todd booked him for a show here in good ol' Sacramento. Problem was, the house Todd thought he was closing on didn't and now there was a show but no house.

So we checked around, and the wonderful Art Luna came through and we can now announce ...

Pat DiNizio Live in Not Quite Your Living Room But In A Really Cool Cafe Called Luna's on Sunday, March 8th at 7:30 PM.

We will be hosting the event as well as playing a short opening set .... we might just play a few with Pat at the end of the night too.

Best of all, since this is more or less a house party (sort of ...) it is free. All we ask is that you support our friend Art by buying a beer or some nachos. Pat will have various Smithereen and solo discs available,  including the acclaimed "Meet The Smithereens!", the band's track by track tribute to the first Beatles record released in the U.S.

There is a limited occupancy, so the show will be first come, first served; you can reserve a place by leaving us a message in the comments right here on our MySpace page.  Please give us your first and last name and we'll hold a spot for you. We will accept walk ups until we have reached the max number of folks ... but this is the only place that will guarantee you a reservation for the show.
