04/14/2010      Hey...Spring is here !!   Feels real good  !!   In case you missed it,  the MidWinter Meltdown at the Ocean Mist  in February was quite the party....... All of our friends showed up with that summer mentality that was needed to forget about winter for a day.... Can't wait for summertime at the Mist. It will be here before you know it.   Also,  earlier this month we returned to  JR's Mardi Gras  after a long three year absence.  Again all of our friends showed up,  and we rocked the joint !!   We will be back on  Friday,  April 16th......  Mercy Bullets will open for us......   and for the trivia minded fans out there,  this is the first time ever for the Senders headlining a Mardi Gras gig !!   So we ask again for your loyal support, cause we plan on kicking some major ass !!!!THIS  JUST  IN  !!  SENDERS at the  ALL- AMERICAN  THIS  SATURDAY  APRIL 3RD... WE'RE  CUTTING  OUR  VACATION  SHORT... CAUSE  WE  JUST  LOVE  TO  PLAY !!

02/01/2010   Well its a new year, and already January is gone. Not too much snow, but cold as hell.  Dave and Paul went down to Jamestown to catch the Penguin Plunge...lots of people this year...and even in this terrible economy, the Penguins were able to raise $50,000 for Special Olympics !!  They always do a great job of fundraising, but this year was really impressive. Congrats to all involved. 

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 !!!

05/14/09  Here are some special dates to look for this year ! 

The Newport Blues Cafe has booked us into the summer months...The next time in is  August 21st...This place is a load of fun !!  Last summer at the Ocean Mist was so amazing, that Kevin  decided to give us 4 Sunday afternoon dates this year - 2 in July - 1 in August - and 1 in September on Labor Day Weekend  !!   We can't wait...the 4 B's .....Beach, Beer,  Babes,  Bikes !!
