The Tralf

We had a Blast at the Tralf last night. Garret and Lambros were both upset by the really crappy amp, which kept squealing, but I guess it didn't carry to the floor. We had a great crowd, and it was nice to see all the support from friends and brothers and family. Right before we went on, I was feeling pretty nervous and sick, and Lambros was feeling anxious until he downed 2 beers and became "ready to fuck shit up." It took a while to set up, and I don't think anyone could hear everyone properly, so we were performing blindly (or deafly). The crowd seemed to really enjoy us, and participated in a couple of songs. For a first show it went really well. Canoe, the band before us did really well and there was this really awesome band Wellness Exchange. Theica also tried to perform, but their bassist was sick and the guitar player broke a string, so they ended up having a bad night. The University at Buffalo newspaper, The Spectrum wrote an article about the show which you can read here.

Pre show jitters

So in less than 24 hours, Breckenwood goes on stage to perform our first show with the new members at the Tralf in Buffalo, NY! Today, Garret found out we were featured in the Boom section of Artvoice this week. Apparently we're in a contest to beat out another band in online voting. If we beat them, we get to play a finals show 21+ where the winner will win $5,000! You can vote for Breckenwood at . If you are reading this, you should check us out, and help us win!

Breckenwood

Not that anyone actually looks at this yet, but heres whats happening in the world of Breckenwood: lots of stuff. For starters, there are several shows lined up in the next couple of months, including a Battle of the Bands at the Tralf in Buffalo January 29, A show at the Bar East in MANHATTAN February 19 with a live performance from Breckenwood on Buffalo State radio the 17th. We are also performing for the Harbor on February 11 with another possible show in April. On the inside much going on. There is a slight bump in the current line up we are working on resolving. With lots of recent rehearsals and more to come this weekend, we are getting more and more prepared for Breckenwood's debut show with the new additions with a couple of new songs. As of now, we are also looking to record a 3-4 song EP before trekking to the Big Apple to continue to spread our sound. Lot's going on, so if anyone is reading this, we hope to see you at one of the shows!
