You can't have blog without...

Thanks to everyone who came down and supported the band and the cause at the benefit show last night. We and the YMCA are very appreciative!

Our next public performance is right around the corner--Saturday, May 3--at the cozy little venue known as McLynn's in Springfield, NJ. We are busy working up new tunes for that night as well as future engagements, so you're likely to hear a few new tunes. (Admittedly, they are probably 40 years old, so does the word "new" even apply?)

Like a lot of people who are excited by new technologies and new opportunities, I was excited to launch this extension to The Wannabes publicity efforts. But in reading through what I have done so far, I have to say--I really know how to put the "blah" in "blog,"TM don't I? Fortunately, the band is much more exciting than this, so be sure to power down the computer on May 3 and get ready for a good time.

Info on private event this week, 4/24/2008

If you'd like to see the band this coming week at a (semi) private event, we are playing a charity event. Thursday, April 24, from 6:30-9:30. $100 ticket gets you food, an open bar, the band, and the knowledge that you've helped someone less fortunate. Contact me directly if you'd like to purchase a ticket. Thanks!

Launching the WannablogTM

Damn! Me? With a blog? Whodathunk? I had enough trouble with creating the band's website, so I'm probably getting in way over my head here...

But please don't think this is some back-door method for me to foist my thoughts on you. Rather, this is a little experiment to see if I can (to draw on the lexicon of my everyday job) "extend the brand of the Wannabes band." (And with that phrase, you may begin to understand why I need to have music to balance out my professional and personal lives!)

We certainly enjoy talking to y'all at the shows, but for those that are bashful, or who wish to express their thoughts in an anonymous format, we've now provided that option.

Did you enjoy a particular show? Have a request for a song? Wish to give us a heads up on a club where we might play? Just let us know via the comments section here, and we can have a little dialogue outside of working hours. Enjoy!
