Next Bleachers Performance: 11/5/08 Target Las Vegas

It took a little while to pin an exact date down, but it is 100% confirmed: The Bleachers next live performance will take place at 8pm SHARP, Wednesday, November 5 at the Target Store on the corner of Flamingo Rd. and Maryland Pkwy. in Las Vegas.

If you are familiar with the store at all, it has been under heavy remodel virtually the entire year.  Now that they are completely done with their remodel, they are having a grand re-opening event on 11/05/08.  They've asked us to be their special guests and perform for one hour.

We rocked out the Apple store and now we are going to make Target rock.

Look, you can come see us play live at 8pm sharp, then when we are done at 9pm, you can walk twenty feet in any direction and you're shopping at Target, the coolest department store around.  How's that for convenience?

When you walk in to come see us, we'll be at the back area of the store, from what we understand.  In the seasonal area.  Either we'll be surrounded by pumpkins or christmas trees or both for all we know, depending on what season they've got going on November 5th.

How Do You Like Them Apples?

The 10/18/08 Apple Store performance came off in stunning fashion.  Everyone at Apple was extremely warm and gracious, with special thanks to Tara and Andy.  They made us feel very welcome and it assisted us in giving everyone a damn fine show to remember.

We performed a 15-song set, an hour of music, with several songs from Conjure we haven't played recently and a whole bunch of new songs earmarked for recording in the near future.

There should be a song or two in video form which should show up on myspace soon, plus some more pictures like the one included here.

Thanks to everyone who made it out, you helped make it a successful performance.

Apple Store Performance this Saturday 10/18 at 8pm

Just a reminder to everyone out there, our performance at the Apple store in the Caesars Palace Forum Shops is this Saturday, 10/18/08 at 8pm SHARP.

If you haven't stopped by there yet, take a look at the enclosed picture.  They've been promoting us with this wonderful easel display in their store for two weeks now.

Also, if you click here you can view the advertisement for our show that has been online at Apple's official website for almost a month.

We've got right around 15 songs to play for you and it should be a full hour's performance.  This is one show you definitely want to round up everyone and come down to see at Apple.

The Apple Store/Caesars Palace Forum Shops 10/18/08

It's less than two weeks away!  Our performance at The Apple Store in the Caesars Palace Forum Shops is on Saturday, October 18, at 8pm.  From what we've been told, there's already an easel/banner/placard setup of some kind in the main window at The Apple Store promoting our upcoming performance.  That's incredibly cool.

What makes this such a big event for us is simple: Apple is the largest retailer of music, period.  We're playing at one of their stores.  If we get a really strong crowd and positive reception, this can only lead to good things for us.

To entice each and every one of you to come out and support us, we are going to be playing what is going to amount to almost a "double" show.  We have been working from a list of songs at rehearsal that is in the neighborhood of 25 songs.  Now, we are most likely not going to perform 25 songs, but that is how many potential songs we have for the performance.  It will likely be whittled to 20 songs or just a few less, but when you realize a performance of ours usually contains anywhere from 8 to 12 songs, this is very nearly a double show.

House of Blues Performance Recap: 10/02/08

As the crowd began to fill out the venue, Amy Kuney stepped onstage and played a flawless set, worthy of all the attention bestowed upon her.  We look forward to sharing a show with her again.

Michael Soli gave us a nice introduction to the crowd and we stomped through the songs we have been diligently rehearsing for weeks on end.  Here is the set list we performed, for those of you who have inquired:

01. Gargoyle

02. When You Lose

03. History

04. Gone For Good

05. Whistler

06. Citysong

07. Nude As The News

08. Erase Marks
