Actual live concerts...
We're going to play actual live rock concerts in April, Gusterrhoids! Three of them. In really arbitrary locations.
April 14th -- Worcester MA
April 18th -- Vail CO
April 25th -- Atlanta GA
The Worcester show's at the Hanover Theater, open to the public, with discounted tickets for students in the Worcester Consortium. Go easy on us! We haven't played in months.
The Vail show is downtown on the street to celebrate the last ski day of the season. They're letting us send One Very Lucky Guster Fan out there, all expenses-paid style (lift tickets, snowboard rental, etc), through a "contest" -- if we figure out some trivia question or something for this in the next ten minutes, I'll include it at the bottom of this emailer so you can try to win the trip.
The Atlanta show is supporting Ben Harper at the Verizon Amphitheater in Alpharetta Georgia for a Dave FM Earth Day show. I recently had the privilege of seeing Ben Harper play lap steel alongside Will Ferrell on Conan O'Brien's farewell Free Bird. Must see TV.
SET LIST WHEEL
Speaking of actual live concerts -- one of the more interesting ones we've ever played was in 1998 at the Met Cafe in Providence RI. We spent hours making a totally functional "set list wheel" (idea stolen from Elvis Costello) that night, with every song we'd ever recorded written in sharpie on it. Any song in our young repertoire had a chance to get played whenever we spun the dial. I can't remember if we played songs twice if we landed on them twice, and I won't go back and listen a show we played twelve years ago, but now YOU CAN! Thanks to Michael "Pasty" Corcoran, the show has been digitized and uploaded to our website for your... enjoyment. Enjoy. Yes, "Happy Frappy" is on there.
I AM A FANTASY BASKETBALL CELEBRITY
This really happened: Twenty questions for Guster's Brian Rosenworcel with Rotoworld's NBA Fantasy Basketball Guru Steve Alexander... watch me talk about Tyreke Evans and Chat Roulette in the same interview! Learn more about our new album on a fantasy basketball website than you do through the studio journal!
WE FINISHED RECORDING OUR ALBUM
Hallelujah! We're off to mix the album with our friend Peter Katis for the rest of March, and then we have to master (!) our album, and then we have to wait a few more months for it to be released, but it's in the bag and it's going to be awesome. Smart money's on a September 1st release date.
AM I REALLY DOING A VAIL SHOW TRIVIA QUESTION?
Alright, here it is. Who is Brian's fantasy basketball team named after? Do your research. Win a trip to Vail. Go.
Email your answer to guster@guster.com no later than March 22 with VAIL in the subject line and maybe you and a friend will be the big big lucky winners. You have to be 21+ to enter.
