The Day Pop Music Died

I have no words to describe my sadness upon hearing of Michael Jackson’s death. We lost, not only a great pop icon, but a great brilliant musician, in general. Some of my all-time favorite songs were written by him and…..talk about timeless! I think his work not only stands the test of time, but actually exceeds it by still seeming ahead of its time. No one does what he did!

Yeah, he got real weird towards the end (odd surgery decisions, made his kids wear masks in public, those lawsuits, etc.),but he also wrote “Thriller.”

We’ll miss you.

so awesome!

so awesome!

Hey guys!

Just a quick update as to what we are working on lately….

As you know we have added Garrett Hodges to our lineup and we couldn’t be happier. He is taking over Matt Duncan’s responsibilities of guitar and backing vocals. We have adapted all of Matt’s piano parts over to guitar and it rocks. Our live sound is fuller than ever and beyond amazing. We’re continuing to rehearse and write and we promise we’ll be playing more shows very soon.

Our next show is at Headliner’s in Louisville on July 9th. Come check out our new lineup and party party with us!

We just signed on to play a fourth show with rock legend, Peter Frampton.

It’s at The Stone Pony in New Jersey’s Asbury Park on August 30. We are so excited….so many great bands have played here. I’m pretty sure the venue only holds around 800 people so pre-order now—this show is going to be HUGE!

Don’t forget to check out the other dates we’re playing with Frampton.  I’ve posted all of the flyers with links.

Hey friends,
Sorry it has been so long since our last update. We have been taking some time so that our beloved singer, Ken, could relax and honeymoon with his new bride, Hannah. But as always, time off is never

really time off.

We have been writing new material and are also very proud to announce the addition of Garrett Hodges to the band.

Garrett will be playing guitar with Very Emergency and we can already tell that he is going to help us expand our sound and live show having two permanent guitarists.  If you get a chance, swing by myspace.com/motel to check out another one of his projects. Awesome.

We also would love to announce our upcoming shows:

June 18 – Louisville, KY @ Prime Lounge
