New Show: MATTOWAX & The Hulihees
Monday, May 12th, 2008
Hi all -
Another new show has been announced - this time at the Milkboy Coffee Acoustic Cafe, which is located at 824 West Lancaster Avenue in Bryn Mawr, PA (610-527-0690) - on Saturday night, June 7th. The show is part of the “Artstravaganza”, helmed by our own Todd Marrone - and will feature live sets by both MATTOWAX and The Hulihees. The MATTOWAX set is particularly exciting since we will be playing several new songs for the first time, including the much-asked-for “Most Likely To Succeed” off of the latest EP. We’ll also be using some new looping technology to get a fuller sound in small acoustic environment with less players and less volume…we’re very excited about it!
Of course, an evening with The Hulihees is always worth coming out for - there will be plenty of Handsome Ron’s signature tunes and banter, in a stripped-down acoustic format…so, lots of “New” even for those familiar with the “Old”.
The Artstravaganza will feature:
1. Todd’s Month-Long Art Show: “Withdrawn”, a series of discarded library books on which he paints on the covers and rigs them to hang on the walls. In his words, “it will be literally liter-tastic.”
2. The aforementioned June 7th Reception Musical Performance
3. The June 7th Reception Art Performance: Todd will join the bands on stage to make a couple of live paintings. He’ll also hand out FREE custom artwork to patrons and adoring fans.
Everything kicks in at 8:00 PM - we look forward to seeing you!

North Star Show Recap
Wednesday, May 7th, 2008
You know, for a Sunday night in an out-of-the-way part of town, we had a really good evening on 5/4. Kicked off with an outdoor band dinner at Bishop’s Collar and followed by a set by the very interesting Little Ruth Busey, the Hulihees took the stage for a modest but enthusiastic Sunday night crowd - and then stuck around for an amazing set by Atlanta’s Gringo Star (HIGHLY recommended!) and local heroes Long Walk Home, who we played with last Fall at the Tritone (sharing an impromtu jam on Frank Zappa’s “Camarillo Brillo”). More pics are available on the Hulihees site, but a full-band shot can be seen below. Our next show will be a stripped-down affair at Milkboy Coffee’s newest location in Bryn Mawr on June 7th for the “Artstravaganza”…more details to follow in another post. See you there!

New Written Review on Used Wigs
Wednesday, May 7th, 2008
Oy! I forgot to mention that I have a new review up on Used Wigs, for the latest LiPSTIK EP, “There is Only One Thing”. Based on a couple of other CDs I’ve recently received that are FANTASTIC, I have a backlog of other reviews to write and should be getting a few more out there soon. Thanks for the continued interest! Click on the image below to link to the review…
