North Star Bar
Mark your calendars, folks! Smiles, Everyone returns to Philly’s legendary North Star Bar on Thursday, February 25th, 2010. We’ll be opening for Brooklyn’s Jupiter One, who just released a new album and are currently touring with Regina Spektor.
We are putting the polish on some new songs, so you won’t want to miss this one!
Shake loose the holiday bustle and help Smiles, Everyone whip up some holiday cheer! Arrive 8:00PM, ready to rock.
Smiles, Everyone will be appearing with Manchester, UK outfit, Bobbie Peru at Philadelphia’s North Star Bar. Doors open at 7PM. Music starts a 8PM. Don’t be late and you will be rewarded with some fine, hand-crafted rock music. We’ve got some new songs that we’d like you to hear.
Not much news lately. Having finished the demo, we were eager to work on some new songs. Started back at the rehearsal studio only to learn that they were closing their doors! It’s astonishing how slim are the pickin’s of band rehearsal spaces in Philadelphia. We found a stopgap, but the tiny space, dorm room smell, and dangerous, pre-war elevators are ‘costly’.
At least they answer the phone (more than can be said for most rehearsal spaces in Philly).
We are actively seeking gigs in the Philadelphia area. If you book bands, know someone who does, tend bar, or own a club or venue, please listen to our new demo recording. Eight original songs covering an interesting musical range from Motown to marches to 80s new wave to spaghetti western to Burt Bacharach. And more.
We hope you like what you hear. Live in Philadelphia, Lancaster, or anywhere in between and want to hear us play? Leave a comment and let us know. We are actively seeking gigs and we want to play for you!
