From my friend Scott:
Have you got plans yet for Friday, March 3? You know you don't!
But now, my friends, you do. Because you'll be able to come see my band at its world premiere show.
The Roosevelt will be playing at DC's own Grog & Tankard on Wisconsin Ave. We'll be playing a set that starts around 8:45P and should last about 45 minutes, so you'll still have your whole Friday evening ahead of you. Or if you're a dork like me, you can probably make it home in time to catch BATTLESTAR GALACTICA.
You can learn more about the band and hear some of our songs we've tracked already by clicking here. You can also sign up for our mailing list so can find out right away when we're doing things like debuting new songs, giving out free stuff, rolling out an EP. Plus, those emails are generally much, much wittier than this one.
WHO The Roosevelt, that band Remley plays in
WHAT World premiere show
WHERE The Grog & Tankard, 2408 Wisconsin Ave, NW, Washington DC
WHEN Friday, March 3, 2006 at 8:45P
It's a $7 cover (Yeah, yeah, I know, I know… we're not happy about it either). When you show up, make sure to tell the door guy that you're there to see The Roosevelt (it helps them keep a count so that they'll book us again sometime, which we will in turn use to argue for a lower cover charge because we can draw an actual crowd...)
This is good stuff – hand to heart. Think Wilco-meets-Death-Cab (if you don't know who that is, don't be alarmed. They're both harmless). All original works written by a guy who really knows his stuff named Jon Mosher, who is really remarkable. Some of you will also know our God-like guitarist, Sam Mitchell.
Please come out. It'll help to see a few familiar faces while we're up there bringing ROCK to the masses. If you can bring a friend, I'll buy you a shot. Feel free to forward the info along to anyone you want. Anyone who was left off, it was an accident.
So come on out and support your boy Remley. You'll be glad you did, I promise. And make sure to tell them, "I'm here to see The Roosevelt."
NOTE, by the way, how much this is just like a GOTV operation? Bring a friend? Make sure to get your vote counted? An early touch, followed by one early next week and one Friday AM? Is all of life just a giant campaign? I need a ruling on this...
