the band doing some bonding

We played at the Ritz last night and did what we were told – so –  guess we “filled the bill”. The band has never played more quietly – and that’s just what the Event Planner wanted !!

Tonight we can let loose at Hull Bay Hideaway. This is one of our favorite gigs and lots of friends and fans usually stop by.

The bands been very busy lately, but on separate things. It’s all good because doing other musical projects makes us better musicians – and that helps the band indirectly !!

There has been a bunch of good music around the island lately – and this both inspires, and motivates us !! The community support has been tremendous and that is quite heart-warming – this community cares and supports the arts – Yea !!!

Yes folks – the Becca darling band is back at Hull Bay Hideaway this Sat. the 22nd starting at 7pm.  It will be Becca,Matt,Morgan, and Robert –which is a 4 piece and has been dubbed “Whip It Out”, by Becca. Follow that?

So keep your ears wide open-  you might hear things you’ve never heard before from the band.

We’ve lined up a couple of dates at Tickles Pub. One is coming up on Thurs.Feb.10th at 7pm.

Working on getting some “stuff” for our fans and friends – cd,s – tee shirts, posters,etc. Will let you know !! Cheers !!

On a Serious Note !

This New Years Eve, the band will be rocking on the tiny island of Jost Van Dyke, along with 20+thousand folks, at what has become a world wide event.

Boats start sailing here from all over the world beginning in early Autumn. The event routinely ranks near the top of the list of “Best places to be on New Years”.

The beach morphs into a runway for the “jet set beautiful people”, and there’s lots of them struttin their stuff ! It’s quite a spectacle, and Foxy himself is quite an oversize personality – He’s a great storyteller and has such a down to earth persona – that he can weave his”story-songs”, to royalty, as well as to the local rum dummy without changing a thing ! Truly a man of the people !!

The band had  a successful night at Latitude 18 last Monday night. An appreciative and attentive crowd always inspires and involves everybody in the room. It was a smooth and cool evening!!

We’ll be at Jack’s at Tillett Gardens tonight from 7:30-10:30pm.  They have their ‘Trippin Thursday” weekly event, hosted by Web Fingors. this event features fine local bands, and attracts a mostly “locals”, crowd. We’ve had some of our best nights here.  Guest artist Paul Dirks, a very fine Bassist will be filling in for Matt, who is on vacation.

And now, the really big news – yes it’s true –We’ll be playing for Foxy’s New Years Eve Celebration!!  Helping  ring in 2011, with our unique blend of diverse genres and original tunes.

The new year also promises to see the completion of our first studio recording, which we can’t wait to share with our friends and fans !!   Season’s Greetings to All !!!

Yes indeed ! Beginning this Monday (Nov.15th), the band will be rockin the East End of St.Thomas.

Latitude is one of our second homes – and thus it’s usually a relaxed vibe – although not always (band drama!!).

We’ve had some real good nights – plus, to be frank – a few off nights.  After all, “Can’t hit a home run every night” !  Plus we would rather be a band that takes chances and will try new things .   It’s one of those things that’s true in life as well as in music —sometimes you got to take a chance- to get somewhere !!!   Why it is different night to night is still a mystery and wonderful for the band. How bored we’d be if it was the same every night !!  The crowds at the club are usually very appreciative – and express it (we’ve had several all time record Tip Jar Tallies there), plus the food is real good and the staff is great ! What’s not to like ?

Matt appearing very focused in this shot.

Each of the band members has been very busy during this traditionally slow season. We each have a few things in the fire, and they all coincidentally,  came together for everyone during this “slow season”.  Counter intuitively, we should have more time to rehearse during the “busy season” – got that?

Some band members wouldn’t mind twice weekly rehearsals. It’s at the rehearsals that we get to try things out, take some chances – and just see how different approaches sound in the band context.   The band members can give input and feedback to each other without offending each other – that’s always a sensitive issue – and huge in this kind of artistic collaboration !!
