Thanks to all who came out to Huxley’s this past weekend. It was another great weekend of music and drinks.
Big thank you to Tina, Shawna, Adam, Steve and all the other staff from Huxley’s. We’ve played @ Huxley’s 9 different weekends and every time we roll into town, our friends from Renfrew come out and party with us. It’s great to see a lot of the same faces again and again and also meet a ton of new friends. We’ve added some pics from the weekend as well as some pics from previous shows the past year.
Also big shout out to Jason and Jeff from Hyrd Gunz and The guys from Half Cutt. It’s great to talk to other bands out there on the scene and share stories and chat shop.
We truly appreciate your support and look forward to returning to Huxley’s again in July 2009, which will mark our 10th visit to the most rocking spot in Renfrew.
We brought a bunch of new songs from the past and some new material. We’ve spent time looking at our song list and are adding songs that aren’t overplayed or out of date. We pride ourselves with playing material we and you want to hear and stuff that other bands aren’t overplaying.
We’re interested in your input if you have a song you’d like us to play, please send your suggestion to us via email “info@shotgunkiss.com“, Twitter “www.twitter.com/shotgunkiss” and hit us up on Facebook.
This past weekend we hit couple of milestones for SGK, first this past weekend was our 125th gig since the band started in 2005. Second it was also Rob’s 90th gig with the band and Steve’s 10th gig since joining in Feb 2009. I can’t believe that we’re been at this since 2005, time fly’s.
We’ve played 13 Shows in 2005, 32 Shows in 2006, and 30 Shows in 2007, 36 Shows in 2008 and so far 14 Shows and 18 to 20 shows left for a total of at least 34 shows.
The band made a decision when started that we would only play 2 weekends a month. It would allow us to still have time for our personal live and also not burn out the band. We’ve pretty much stuck to our decision and look it makes playing shows more rewarding as we’re fresh and look forward to getting to the show and meeting people.
There are only a few open dates left in 2009 and then we’ll be setting our sites on 2010. We’ll soon be announcing what we’re doing for New Years Eve. We’ve listened to our friends and fans and have decided to play on New Years Eve this year.
We’re also going to look at booking more shows in Ottawa in the future and work ourselves into the Ottawa live music market. We’ve got great friends in Ottawa and they have asked us to play more shows @ Home.
Thank you for all you support!
The Rob, Scotty, Steve, and Al The Driver!
