Friends... "The Eagle Has Landed"

Today, July 9th, 2009, exactly 4-years, 13 days and a few scattered-hours since the release of our debut-studio CD, "Tales From The Endless Bus Tour of New Jersey"... It's "little-sibling" has arrived! The CDs are "in" and we're ready to rock-ya with 'em! "Kootleg" is sort of a "raucous younger brother" to its predecessor, "Endless Bus Tour"... A new collection of "Totally Live" Kootz-Classic-Tunes, that EVERYONE knows and has heard in differrent versions played by the band over the years; "Kootleg" was culled from over 250 hours of raw, live-audio footage that we recorded on-location over the course of a year-and-a-half... and then distilled-down to an essential collection of 21-songs (plus, some assorted live gig-banter!) that have become fan-faves!

Wanna grab a copy RIGHT NOW? You can get it directly from our website; Go to www.thekootz.com, then select "The Kootz Kompany Store"-link... and 'shop-til-ya-drop'!

Of course "Kootleg"... as well as all our other 'merch' is available at every 'live' Kootz-show!...

And speaking of 'shows'... as we started to tell you last week... Not only is "Kootleg" the title of our new 'live' CD... It's going to be the, errr... 'Mother' of all Kootz-gigs! Yep, FINALLY... after 9-years of "Kootz-ness", we will ALL assemble together on ONE stage... for ONE night only... on October 1st, 2009... at The PrimeTime Comedy Club/Dinner Theater in Sayreville, NJ; Check-out www.primetimecomedyonline.com! It's one GORGEOUS venue... befitting an unprecedented concert like this!

The tickets are printed, on sale... and already 'flying out the window'! Why not get yours! More ticket info for general-admission seats for "KOOTLEG, The Concert" can be had by 'clicking' at the link, 'atop' our www.thekootz.com 'home page'! To reserve choice balcony-boxes of 4, 6, or 8 seats, please call 973-226-1461!

All-righty-then, let's get right to the "Kootz Honor Roll", where we'll give some 'Kwick-Koot-Os' to our terrific-fans, friends and venues... as well as all the 'newbies' on the band mailing-list, for their-support in the last week!

Lots O' Fun, Fans, Friends and Fireworks, this week-past! Kootz-Thanx-to: Helen Hayes Hospital in NY, The Long Valley Brew Pub, The (Cedar Grove) Grasshopper, Kelly & Co. for their BIG-party, the townships of Montclair and West Orange for 'FAB-U-LOSO'-Fireworks, Monmouth Park Racetrack, Buckalew's Tavern on LBI, Rockn' Joe Coffeehouse in Point Pleasant and the Bernards Township Concert-goers, for an unbelievable week...
