Hello friends, Rob here. Sorry I’m late.
There is absolutely no good reason why I am posting on Thursday, horrible Thursday this week. I just completely forgot to do this yesterday. It was awesome.
Decent week for The Revivalists. We just had the one show in Houston, which was a lot of fun. Sure, we had a very short opening set, but playing legit venues like House of Blues is always a thrill. It’s a nice glimpse of what may be ahead for us if we play our cards right. Plus, The Radiators are a bunch of rad dudes. It was a pleasure seeing them perform and an honor opening for them.
Let’s make an abrupt transition from one topic to the next, shall we?
As I may have mentioned earlier, we spent a bit of time in the studio, and we have new songs. We want to be able to play these songs in front of people without having them sound like sonic clusterscrews (I’m trying to cut down on the swear words in this blog. Sometimes having to be PG can be pretty crummy), so we have to practice them and iron out some of the kinks. To that end, this week would have been devoted to practice, but we’ve had a few hiccups. For example, remember how I was really sick during the post-Christmas run we just did? Apparently everybody else in the band decided to copy me and get sick, probably because I made it look so awesome.
So we’ve taken a few personal days, but we’re getting it together. Friends, look forward to hearing new material this weekend, as well as during our (and The Blue Party’s!) upcoming Blue Revival tour.
Upcoming we have another late-night throwdown at Fatty Arbuckle’s in Shreveport (I swear to Gosh we’re going to own that place someday) on Friday, and then Saturday we will be ushering in a new golden age with what will hopefully be the first annual Revivapalooza of many. The premise is simple: Have a bunch of awesome bands, set up two different rooms so the music never stops, don’t charge a whole lot of money for it, and make back to school rock so very very hard. It’s going to be us, the aforementioned Blue Party, our dear friends New Grass Country Club, and plucky young upstarts Mississippi Rail Company. It’s already a steal at ten bucks a head, but if you bring a student ID, it’s only five (5) dollars! How the crud can you beat that? You can’t. It’s just too excellent. Be there.

That’s all for this week. Until next time, friends! Everyone have a good time, okay?

Just wanted to pass on some words of encouragement. I’m a fan but have been for nearly a year so I know and like the music already. However, I wanted to bring someone new to the concert the weekend of the 15th and she said she wanted to hear the music first to enjoy the concert more so I gave her the two CD’s I have of ya’ll. As the week went on, she said she loved the music and was listenting to it all the time. Needless to say she loved the concert and actually said it was the best live performance she had ever seen.
Good job guys, you have added another loyal fan to your list!
Just thought I should share
Thanks, Caleb! We love it when people spread the word.
