Love Is Here To Stay Cracks The Top 100!

Wednesday, July 28th, 2010 | Uncategorized | 1 Comment

Sure it’s my personal Top 100 Favorite Albums Of All Time list, and sure, it didn’t actually make the top 100, but we’ve all got to start somewhere.

Apparently a new study has shown that I’m what a lot of people in the business call a “music snob,” which translates into, “I hate everything.”  Everything but The Beatles that is…and whoops, last I checked, they’re the greatest band of all time, so the point is, I know how to pick a winner….and trust me folks, “Love Is Here To Stay” is a winner.  So take it from me…no….BUY IT FROM ME…it’s only $4.99! Or at least steal it from one of your friends who has already supported the cause.  Or hell, send me an email, and odds are, I’ll send it to you for free.

In Other Really Good Deal News: This Thursday, July 29th (tomorrow) we’re running a great special on tickets for our big Highline Ballroom show on August 19th with the lovely Ms. Paula Valstein and Mr. Jonah Smith.

Tickets in advance are $10, but for one day only, we’re running a “We REALLY Love The Fans” special, where if you buy one ticket, you get another one free! If you wait till the day of the show, they’re gonna be $15, so if you have any desire to see this night of music, I suggest getting your tickets definitely in advance, but more specifically on the 29th of July.

I’m always happy to see the ridiculously talented Eve Reinhardt out at a show, cause she’s knows the mystical secrets of capturing great moments on camera at live shows.  Luckily for me, she was out at our last minute show at Bowery Electric last week….once again she delivered.

You can see a few more here!

LC Fest and Rockwood TONIGHT!

Friday, July 9th, 2010 | Uncategorized | No Comments

If you’re not at Bar4 tonight (and tomorrow and Sunday) from 7:40 on, you’re doing yourself a disservice, cause you’re gonna miss all these people play your favorite hits:

Tom Hayes
Dave Beck
Emily Mure
Aunt Martha
Heidi Sidelinker
Casey Shea
Matt Singer
Lucius
Lowry
Great Elk
Steve Waitt
Matt Basile
Danny Lanzetta & the Liars Club
FK

I copied and pasted this list of names, and I’m now noticing Matt Basile’s name is there…I’m pretty sure he’s not gonna be there and not just because his apartment exploded yesterday at 5am.  Luckily for him (not so luckily for us) he was staying the night with the Sheas.  That’s right Basile, I SAVED YOUR LIFE….you owe me BIG TIME!!  And yes, I’m serious, his apartment really did explode.  Don’t believe me?  Here’s a picture of what once was his bedroom.

If Matt’s exploding apartment proves one thing, it’s that if you’re not using a Mac, you’re fooling yourself.  Yes…Mr. Steve Jobs makes a fine product….a quality product….a durable product.  That’s a Apple ad I’d like to see.  “The iBook – so bad ass, it survives home explosions.”

Yes, it really survived…not only the explosion, but the firemen hosing down the place.  Well done Jobs, Well done.

In more Matt Basile Related news, after I’m finished watching all my friends a play a few tunes at Bar4, I’m gonna head to none other than Rockwood Music Hall to put on a show of epic proportions.  It’s been a while since we’ve had a 1am showing, but we’ve never played a late one at the infamous Stage 2, so if you’re looking for a party tonight, you know where to find us!  Oh, and buy Matt a drink…he needs it.

Luke Wesley Album Release Show!

Monday, July 5th, 2010 | Uncategorized | No Comments

We return to Rockwood (Stage 2) this Tuesday for bit of fun and a lot of dominance!  As I’ve mentioned before, this is the album release of The Legend himself, Mr. Luke Wesley.  I’m quite honored to have a spot on the bill with two of my favorite people and songwriters….the other being the lovely and talented Misty Boyce!

Casey Shea
Tuesday, July 6th – 10PM
Rockwood Music Hall (Stage 2)
Free!
Misty Boyce @ 7:30, Luke Wesley @ 8:30

……..

In Other News: Yesterday was July 4th….there were plenty of fireworks like when I dumped my drink on Matt Basile’s head.  No one’s quite sure why this happened, but I can safely say alcohol was a factor.  I can only assume he’s not happy about it and will be looking for revenge come Tuesday night.  Luckily for me, I’m not sure there’s anything he could do that would ruin the gig more than his bass playing already does.

In Other Other News: Did I mention this show is free!??

In Other Other Other News: Did I mention that I co-produced Luke Wesley’s album, and that you can and SHOULD download it here!

In Other Other Other OTHER News: Did I mention this is your last chance to see us for a while?  The next band show will be August 19th at Highline Ballroom with Paula Valstein!
