July 26, 2009

What a great weekend.  We can’t remember Meenars ever being so crowded so early.  Thanks to all of you who came out and partied with the band into the night.  It was a blast.  Maggie McGarry’s was a lot of fun as well.  Brad won the parking lotto and scored a spot right across the street!  Dave however got into a few altercations on Grant St. but finally got settled down.  The bar really started getting crowded toward the end of the first set and was packed by the start of the 2nd.  Also, a birthday shout out to Laura who did her customary dance with the band on stage (video anyone???)  Thanks again for the support...we really appreciate it.  See you at the next gig.

 

July 13, 2009

The band is pleased to announce another upcoming gig in the East Bay. We hope you all join us at Gallagher’s Dublin Pub on Friday, November 13th.  Where else? But in Dublin, CA of course. Ronan would love this bar I bet.  We hear this place is a rockin’ good time and that the bartenders are awesome!  There may be some more dates to be added. Check back soon for more information.

Join us at the top of Piedmont Ave. in Oakland, California on Sunday, October 11, as we rock out again with the Los Carnales guys. This is a great group that does a lot of special things for people in need. The music will start around 11:00 A.M. and will continue till around 4:00 P.M. They always have killer stuff to raffle off and great food on the BBQ. Awesome cars and motorcycles on display as well. See ya there!

Soundcheck is pleased to announce the launch of a new instrument cable.  Check out SPINSTIGATOR! This innovative new product utilizes a rotating connector which prevents your guitar or bass cable from twisting up as you’re playing. Enjoy the pure tone and simplicity of a cable without the twisted hassle. You can buy them directly through the SPINSTIGATOR web site.

CANCELLATION

Due to a double booking problem, our St. James Gate gig has been canceled. Too bad too as I know we were planning on having a large group out in Belmont that night. Hopefully you’ll be able to join us for our Gate debut if we are able to rebook in the future.

Attention South Bay Friends!

We’ve recently booked another new club and we’re excited to say it’s VERY close to home for at least one band member.  Please join us on Friday, February 27 as we debut at Ye Olde Royal Oak Pub in Santa Clara.  This place looks great and we can’t wait to play here.  Join us early for their great food and nice selection of ales and ciders.

 

Happy New Year!

Hope you all have had a great holiday season and a wonderful New Year.  We’ll catch you at Dan’s on January 23rd as the band gets started on the first of many dates for 2009.  Check the Calendar page for more info.

A big thanks goes out to our good friend Gary Smith for hooking the band up with some recent video footage to share.  You can find it on our Video page as well as our myspace page.  The footage was taken at our buddy Tim’s 50th Birthday party in early September.  It was incredibly hot that day but we had a very good time playing.  We’ll add some more songs as they are compiled.

Hope all of you and your families had a great Thanksgiving.  We had a blast playing at Maggie McGarry’s.  What a cool club and great night out.  Next time we’re there (hopefully soon) I recommend getting to the City early and getting the car parked.  Although there are many lots to pay and park you may get lucky and find a spot on one of the side streets.  Once settled just start walking.  You will find that you have more choices of restaurants than you can imagine.  From a full blown sit down meal to just getting a couple of slices at North Beach Pizza you’ll have fun choosing where to dine.  Then the fun begins when you get to the pub.  Maggie’s really is  a lot of fun.  Ton’s of cool, friendly people and none of them to shy to get on the dance floor.  Hope to get back there in 2009.

 

November 14, 2008

Hey Gang.  Lots of dates added during the last few days.  More on that in a bit.  But first up is our debut at Maggie McGarry’s in San Francisco.  We would love to see you all out there at this KILLER pub in one of the best neighborhoods in the world, North Beach in San Francisco.  We are really looking forward to playing there.

 

Now for some new dates.  The band has already started booking 2009. We’ve got dates at Meenars, Dan’s and Vinnie’s on the books as well as two new venues for us, St. James Gate in Belmont and Babe’s Place in Livermore.  We’ll be at Meenars on December 12th and  Dan’s on the December 13th.  Dan’s has recently undergone a bit of a remodel.  We’re really looking forward to checking out the new bathrooms, carpet and most importantly the new bar top!

 

October 15, 2008

Hope you all are planning on making it out to Fremont this Friday.  We’ll be playing at The Huddle just like old times.  We’ll even have Mr. Jeff Martin helping us out as Boris will be gambling away his Google stock in Vegas.  Last month at The Huddle we had a great time and we look forward to even more good times this Friday as we lure Jeff out of his semi-retirement.  See you on the dance floor!

 

October 12, 2008

New show just added.  

We’re excited to announce that we’ve just booked a brand new club.  Join us in San Francisco on November 29 at Maggie McGarry’s.  Located in North Beach, Maggie’s is a great pub with lots of great bands playing there.  We hope you’ll make it out.

 

September 1, 2008

Soundcheck is pleased to announce the return of our friend and band-

mate, Boris Kabitzke.  Boris will be taking over guitar and vocal duties.  He’s a great all around guy and an OK guitar player too!  We can’t wait to get out there and start playing with him again.  Look for Boris at a gig near you!

 

August 15, 2008

Many thanks to longtime guitar player and vocalist Jeff Martin.  Jeff is bowing out of Soundcheck and we will certainly miss him to be sure.  Keep in mind we never really say goodbye to Jeff forever.  It’s really more like “Happy Trails to you...Until we meet again.”

 

We wish him well and hopes he enjoys his time off with his family.
