Remember to park on the numbered streets to save yourself any parking authority hassles!

Looking forward to our first appearance at the M Room, 15 W. Girard Avenue, in Philly’s NoLibs/Fishtown neighborhood. We’ll be warming the room for Attia Taylor, Syndney Wayser, and Time Ghost.

This just in: catchy, Philly-based band, Le Fits, will be joining us at the North Star Bar on February 25, 2010, along with Jupiter One. Philly friends please show your support and come hear three great bands for $8.

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.

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.

Thanks to all who turned out for the forth Jumboree at RUBA Hall in Northern Liberties last night. In our first official appearance as Smiles, Everyone, we were honored to play alongside a cavalcade of great musicians, including the Delco Nightingale, National Bird, O Sister, the ever-changing line up of Jumboree Players, and half-dozen other acts whose names escape me at the moment. Thanks again to Chris Palmer and his team for putting the show together, and for inviting us to play!

The venue itself, RUBA Hall, at 414 Green Street in Philadelphia, is also worthy of note: Super friendly staff, great bar, and an awesome room – from the wagon-wheel chandelier to the painted murals and friezes.

We had a great turnout of enthusiastic guests for the solid six hours of music spanning all kinds of styles. If you missed this event, we strongly recommend you keep yours eyes peeled for the Jumboree posters.

The fourth Jumboree

414 Green Street – NoLibs – Philadelphia
