So we’ve just completed Day 5 of the Bringing Home the Burning Tour. We’re out til Dec 15. All of the shows have been incredible and we are so thankful for everyone who’s been showing us so much love this year. You’ve really helped us push through everything and keep working as hard as we can to entertain you as best as we can. 

We’re going to be in Maryland at Krug’s in Frederick on Thanksgiving. Please come out and help us show you how thankful we are for YOU. Please check the tour dates here at www.bastardsofrock.com for details and info regarding all our upcoming shows. 

So today our album, Southern Gentlemen, officially became available in stores and online WORLD WIDE through Rotten Records. We just wanted to take a quick minute and say how grateful we are for that. This is the beginning of a MAJOR change in our lives and is something that we never thought would or could actually become a reality. So thank you to all who’ve supported us and helped us create this little world for ourselves, especially girlfriends and wives both current and old who’ve carried burdens no woman should have to. 

Thank you to Rotten Records for taking a chance on us.

If you’ve already purchased your copy of the album, we cannot begin to thank you enough. If you haven’t yet, please, do us both a favor and treat yourself to the whimsical power of rock and roll that is Southern Gentlemen.

Just to keep everyone updated….our Shamans & Shenanigans tour has not been a great success so far. The biggest problem being that we had 2 break downs in one day several days ago, one in New Mexico and one just outside of Tucson. The breakdown outside of Tucson has caused us to be stranded here for many days, each day bringing more show cancellations and new ways to be knocked down. It has been humbling and stressful, but thanks to the kindness of friends both new and old, family and of course our record label, Rotten Records, we have been able to maintain. We have been given food, shelter, and great words of encouragement on top of the financial assistance that we have unfortunately needed. 

We are going to be here in Tucson, AZ for a few more days which means we will not make many of our upcoming dates. If all goes well we will hopefully be able to resume our tour in Boise, ID and continue on from there. If it doesn’t we will more than likely have to shamefully head home with our heads and hearts sunk low. We’ll keep you up to date either way. 

Our west coast “Shamans & Shenanigans” Tour has been going on for a few days. We’re hanging out in New Orleans. This city is amazing and the food is wonderful. Check the dates on the tour dates link or on our facebook. Come show us love. Expect crazy videos and stories to come soon.

Get ready, West Coast…we’re about to be all over you. Once again travelling with our good friends Swamp Sitters…I hope you take this opportunity to prepare for the face melting that is about to be thrown directly at you.

Dear East Coast, 

You provided us with a lot of love, entertainment, and debauchery in its purest form. We had a blast making new friends and sharing our version of the rock and roll lifestyle with them. We’ll see you in November. 

PS. WEST COAST YOU’RE NEXT! Do not disappoint us or make us angry. You wouldn’t like us when we’re angry. You can check the tour dates on our official website for show details. 

xoxo, 

Confused Little Girl

Thank God we are back in the South. We’re still on the road on the tail end of our East Coast “Behold the Broken Eardrums” Tour with Swamp Sitters. It’s been a hell of a run so far. 

If you’re not, you should be following us on Facebook and Twitter to get some great daily road stories. 

While we’re in Atlanta we’re going to go hang with the Orange Amps fellers and probably film a video interview, so we’ll keep you posted on when and where that’s going to be viewable. 

We’ve been on the road for a little while now and we still have at least another week to go. All of our shows have been filled with rock and roll destruction and wonderful people who seem to love every minute of it. We wanted to take a minute to thank everyone who’s been there for us so far: 

Dani Pleasant, Chris Hamer, Sassy Frass, Mary and Jay Thurman, The Bamfs, Gritter, Don Wilson, Fran Titcombe, Jason Amendolia, and Pam & Ken. 

Also the biggest thanks of all go to Trevor Hansen. A man who single in one fell swoop managed to redeem the entire North East.

It’s been a blast and we’ve still got a shitload of great shows coming up. 

Make sure you look at our shows section and keep updated!

We have the most amazing friends and fans. You are wonderful people and you will never truly understand how much it means to ME(Billy) and the rest of the band how kind and supportive you all can be. 

We leave for tour on Friday. We are all at once more excited and terrified than we’ve ever been in our lives. We start with 3 weeks on the East Coast and then almost immediately follow that with a month on the West Coast. That gets followed with a short 2 week trek into the Mid-west and then we’ll be home for a month. Then we’re going to make those same voyages over and over again until June of 2012. 

It’s going to be a long, crazy, difficult journey but we feel that it’s worth every drop of blood, pain, sacrifice and sweat. No matter what though, without the love and support of anyone and everyone who has ever enjoyed what we do and shown their support to our music, none of this would exist. 

You should also be showing that same love and support to our support, Swamp Sitters. Michael is the unsung hero of our adventures. Treat him with the same kindness you would us, because he IS one of us.
