Hey peeps – wanted to give you all a  brief update on what’s been going on with us recently:

After playing a bunch of shows this winter/spring in Portland and Seattle, we decided to take a short break from booking to concentrate on new material. We upgraded our recording setup at the rehearsal space, so we’ve been recording ideas right left and center and seeing what sticks. We’ve got about 16 new songs we’re working on in various states of completion, but we’re pretty excited about the many different directions things seem to be going in. 2 of these we’ll debut at our next show.

That show is Friday, May 27^th at Backspace. We’re playing with our good buddies in Western Family, and Grandparents. We’re going to be opening the show, so make sure you get there early. This is an all ages show, but also has a full bar for 21 and over. Love the all ages thing – there isn’t enough of it around in my opinion. So bring your babies and kids!!

Tonight at 9:00, 10:00, 11:30, and 2:00AM (eastern time) Crooked Crown – the closing track on Fear of Heaven is going to be played on MTV’s The Real World: Las Vegas. We’re super happy about this because we’ve been working on a bunch of licensing opportunities and now we’re seeing this come to fruition. Check it out!

Other upcoming shows are June 18^th at Skylark in Seattle and August 26^th at the new McMenamins place, the Crystal Hotel. But we have some others in progress so we’ll update you when more summer shows are finalized.

Hope you’re all doing well.

Love,

Little Beirut
