The Sandy Bottom closed without notice. We didn't get to say goodbye to some of our friends that worked there....enuff said about that.  On Feb 6th we will return to the Newport Blues Cafe...doesn't matter if its cold out...c'mon down...its a cool place to play, and in the winter months  parking is a lot easier.  Also later in the month, Feb 26th we return to the Narragansett Cafe... we played there in December and it was a blast !!  

    The biggest   party of the month     is coming........ Feb 21st,  Sunday  afternoon at the  Ocean Mist  from 3pm - 6pm  !!  Kevin is thinking about making the MidWinter Meltdown an annual event...this is the first one !!  If you have been to the Mist during the summer on a Sunday afternoon, you know what a blast this is gonna be !!  We don't expect any bikes, but we do need to see beach attire such as tanktops, shorts, bikinis...you need a break from the long cold winter, and so do we !!  We don't have all the details yet. What we do know ... The Mist serves breakfast until 2pm , and there is no cover charge. There will be some giveaways (drinks, t-shirts, etc) for  anyone (male or female) wearing a Sender's tanktop or bikini...The boys in the band are hoping for the latter !!!

11/15/09   The end of the year is approaching...  We're awaiting Turkey Day and Christmas, and of course 2010.  Our annual tour of  N.K.  a.k.a. The All American Bar & Grill begins this year on Friday, Nov 20th. On Saturday, Nov21st, The Mercy Bullets will open for us again. Last time they rocked the joint, so get there early and check'em out !  Then on Wednesday, Nov 25th (Turkey Eve)  we will prep you for your meal with a little bit of  R&R...wait.....make that a lotta R&R !!!  December 11th, we are back in Jamestown at the Narragansett Cafe !!  Its been 3 years this December since our last visit !!  Let's show Jamestown that we haven't missed a beat !!  Following the "Gannie",.... on Saturday night, we head back to Cranston rockin' at the 505 in Sharx Bar & Grill. We like this place....check it out !!  Also our last gig of  2009  will be at the Sandy Bottom on December 26th.  We are not playing on New Years Eve this year....a tough decision, but a 3-2 vote nevertheless. So .....hope to see you before the end of the year ! 

 Next year the Ocean Mist is going to have a winter beach party on Sunday , Feb 21st from 3:30-6:30 PM  !!!  There will be specials and giveaways, etc. We'll give you more info when we get it.
