Four Awesome Announcements

Dan — Mon, 01 Feb 2010 20:05:05 +0000

1.

This spring, Providence’s Anchor Brain Records will be re-releasing our debut, We Blow, You Suck on vinyl and poster-record. Anchor Brain is home to Providence legends Six Finger Satellite and Chinese Stars, and we are thrilled to join their team! For now you can still purchase our CD through this website.

Providence emcee B. Dolan sampled our song, “Gladiator” for his song “Border Crossing.” The track, produced by Alias (with credit to our own Larry Mauk!), will appear on B. Dolan’s forthcoming album Fallen House, Sunken City, on local hero Sage Francis’ Strange Famous Records. We may make an appearance at the record release party in a few weeks!

3. Later this week, our performance at Zlatne Uste Golden Fest will appear on Pitchfork TV’s “Tunnel Vision.”

4. We’re headed to Europe this summer. More info soon!

Dan — Wed, 13 Jan 2010 07:55:50 +0000

We come out of hibernation for three shows this weekend.

Thursday, Jan 14
Somewhere in Providence. Stay tuned!

Saturday, Jan 16th
Zlatne Uste Golden Festival
At The Good Shepherd School, 620 Isham St., Manhattan(A-207th/Inwood; 1-207th St.)
This is an amazing festival of Balkan and Balkan-related music that goes from 6pm til 4am.

Sunday, Jan 17th,
Don Pedros
90 Manhattan Ave, Brooklyn
(G-Broadway; J,M-Lorimer; L-Montrose)
If you can’t make Golden Fest, we’re playing the following night with some of the same fabulous bands:
Veveritse
Black Bear Combo
Raya Brass Band

Hibernating and looking for some trumpets, trombones and baritones.

Dan — Sun, 22 Nov 2009 20:21:09 +0000

We aren’t just hibernating, we are looking for more brass players. If you or someone you know plays trumpet, trombone or baritone, write to us at whatcheerbrigade@gmail.com.

You don’t need to show up the most perfect trumpet player, just be willing to practice and bring yourself up to speed, learn our songs, come to practice (2 nights a week during the regular season) and shows (a few a month, including tour! yes you’ll tour with us), and be excited to be part of our band.

Tons of fun and travel, great times, new skills, new experiences, amazing band mates, being part of a unique and wild group who delivers some unique and wild tunes. We are so lucky to get to do this!
