Dear friends,


An exciting announcement from our end and one we bring you with the typical smiley swagger as well as a small tear. The Undisputed Heavyweights are headlining our biggest venue yet: the Bowery Ballroom. We are also playing our last official show. This happens to be the same night, October 14th, meaning that like The Beatles and Michael Jordan we will be going out on the motherfunking top people! We hope to have all of you that have supported us throughout our fun times together there to celebrate with us.


But fear not, this is not the last you'll hear from us. We will be hitting the town hard with three different projects soon after our last show as The Undisputed Heavyweights:


Casey Shea is back in town again for real, including a show at Rockwood this friday, and with both Jeff on his side on the guitar and Wes involved on the strategic side of things we'll be bringing you a new album in the near future, bigger and more exciting full band shows, and much more fun stuff. You can keep up with all the developments on a brand new blog chronicling Casey's return to town, and the process of writing/recording/performing new material.


Jeff Jacobson has still not left town and with both Casey and Wes involved he will be working on a new EP. He has a few shows coming up where he'll be experimenting with fun different band set ups, one of which is Sept 11th at Rockwood. He does not believe in blogs.


Wes has still not been deported and has been working on a brand-new music project with the likes on a few of your favorite local musicians. More news on this closer to the Bowery Ballroom show, which btw will be attended by several members of the family flying out from Europe. He will also continue working with a bunch of other great artists through Family Records (Wakey!Wakey!, Matt Singer, Pearl And The Beard, Gabriel Kahane) and Engine Room Recordings (Lowry, The Bloodsugars, Porter Block).


We're thrilled to be sharing the bill with three of our Family Records label mates: Wakey!Wakey!, Matt Singer and Pearl And The Beard. More will be revealed about the show itself, surprises, special guests and items, but for now trust us when we say we are working on making it as spectacular a circus as we can, and a night to remember. For now we suggest you purchase your tickets early and en masse here.
