The latest band news....

Tuesday May 6th (and every Tuesday in May) we'll be back at the Blue Martini Lounge at the Mall of Millennia. We'll be playing from 8:00pm-12:00am. We've had a great time at our first few gigs at the Blue Martini and the turnout of our friends, as well as the bar's own crowd, has simply been off-the-charts. I'll say this, we've done this for a living for a very long time and none of us have ever seen crowds on a Monday or Tuesday night like they get at the Blue Martini. It's amazing to see so many people out at a club on a weeknight. Blue Martini is one of the premier nightclubs in Orlando and we're very happy to be a part of their entertainment line-up each month. Make sure to catch our next gig at the Blue Martini Lounge on Tuesday May 6th from 8:00pm-12:00am.

Thursday May 8th we'll be playing at the Sanford Wine Company during the City of Sanford's monthly "Alive After Five Street Party" and the theme for this month's event is "Sanford De Mayo." The street party runs from 5:00-9:00pm and we play indoors at the Sanford Wine Company from 7:30-11:30pm. This is an all-ages event and there's no cover charge to get in. Bring the family and join us for another edition of the "Alive After Five Street Party" at the Sanford Wine Company on Thursday May 8th from 7:30-11:30pm.

Friday & Saturday May 9th-10th we'll be returning to Wolfy's River Deck Bar n'Grill in Sanford starting at 9:30pm each night. One of our favorite places to play, we're headed back out to party at the big lake once again. We always have a great time playing at Wolfy's and this ought to be a good one too. Make sure to catch us as we return to Wolfy's River Deck on Friday & Saturday May 9th-10th starting at 9:30pm each night.

Wednesday May 14th we'll be returning to Bliss Premiere Ultra Lounge for another wild edition of their "Liquid Kourage Karaoke" from 11:00pm-2:00am. Bliss is located in downtown Orlando on Church St., in the old Phinneas Phoggs building. "Liquid Kourage Karaoke" is essentially Karaoke with a live band (us) backing you up. Yep, you read that right. This event gets packed and there are limited spots available to get up and sing, so get there very early to sign up for the list. Bliss has plenty of drink specials that night, including; 5-For-$5.00 bottled beers from 9:00-11:00pm, $3.00 Bombs all night (Grape, Cherry, Jager), $3.00 domestic and imported bottled beers from 11:00pm-close, and $5.00 RU Vodka Rockstars all night long. 18 & up are welcome. Bliss usually sends out additional promo specials that we can forward to our friends, like free cover charge or free "Liquid Kash" (which is essentially play-money that you can use to buy drinks). If you want to take advantage of this, either sign up for our e-mail list or you can also add the "Liquid Kourage Karaoke" profile to your friends on MySpace and have them sent to you directly. Whatever you do, don't miss our next appearance at Bliss Premiere Ultra Lounge for their "Liquid Kourage Karaoke" on Wednesday May 14th from 11:00pm-2:00am. See why everyone's saying, "This is the coolest sh*t in town."

Friday May 16th we'll be playing at the "Mt. Dora at Nite Street Festival" from 6:00-9:00pm. We'll be playing on the patio outside of Em'z on Fifth, which is on the corner of Alexander Street and Fifth Avenue. It's one block west of Donnelly, which is the main drag. Click here for a map of our exact location. Food, drinks, music, activities for all ages... Should be another great time in downtown Mt. Dora.

Saturday May 17th we'll be playing at the Sanford Wine Company for "Ken & Debra's 8th Anniversary Street Party" from 7:00-11:30pm. We played for Ken & Debra's wedding reception 8 years ago and we've played for their anniversary party every year ever since. They used to throw the party at their house, but over the years it's grown so big that they now have to cordon off an entire city block to accomodate the crowd that shows up. This is always one of the best events that we get to play each year and this year's party will surely be no different. There will be plenty of fine wines by the glass and micro-brews available, burgers, dogs, and brats served right off the grill, and they'll also have contests & prizes. This is an all-ages event and there is no cover charge to get in. Bring the family, bring your chairs and blankets, and join us for another edition of "Ken & Debra's 8th Anniversary Street Party" at the Sanford Wine Company on Saturday May 17th from 7:00-11:30pm.

Friday May 23rd we'll be performing from 7:00-9:00pm at the Eddie Rose Amphitheater in Crane's Roost Park at Uptown Altamonte for another edition of Uptown Altamonte's "Friday Night Live." Bring your chairs or blankets and enjoy live music in this beautiful outdoor setting. This is an all-ages "family friendly" event, so bring the kids with you too. "Friday Night Live" is really one of the coolest events that we get to play, so make sure not to miss it!!! See you on Friday May 23rd from 7:00-9:00pm for the next installment of Uptown Altamonte's "Friday Night Live."

Saturday & Sunday May 24th-25th you'd better lookout Sebring, here we come!!! That's right, we're headed back down to play at the Spring Lake Golf Resort and it's an extra special weekend for us.

We'll be bringing all of our families along with us and staying down there for the holiday weekend to have some fun, relax, and help Renate celebrate.

Dexter's has been the meeting places of very cool folk for quite a long time. Live music with no cover charge, cutting edge artwork, and an urban feel gives Dexter's it's "cool hang" status.

Friday & Saturday August 1st-2nd we'll be heading up to St. Augustine to play at the Mardi Gras Sports Bar. We'll be playing both nights from 9:00pm-12:40am. We had a great time at our debut and we're looking forward to going back up there again to play. Mardi Gras is located in the heart of "Old" St. Augustine, right next to the Fountain of Youth and it promises to be another great time.
