It's Been Awhile!

It's been awhile since we have blogged! We have been busy, busy, busy! For starters, we have a new singer, Ben, and we have been trying to integrate him smoothly into the band as quickly as possible, since we have some upcoming shows in November. So far he is proving to be a quick learner, and has even taught us a couple new songs that we will be performing at our next shows! If you have time, please feel free to drop him a "welcome" on dressdown's Facebook page!

Also, we have all been busy writing and learning new songs. Again, we have and trying to set up some out of town shows in bigger cities such as Chicago and Minneapolis. This has proven difficult to do alone, so we set up an "email blast" party last weekend and each of us picked a city and searched for good venues within it to contact. So far we have gotten a few responses back already, but there are many that have a "cap" of sorts, such as you must bring at least 50+ fans to support you. We'd love to do this, but feel we should wait until we have more out of town shows first in those cities, so we create a bigger following there as well as here. What are your thoughts? Would you go to a dressdown show in Chicago or Minneapolis?

Lastly, we want to let you all know about one of our upcoming shows in Milwaukee. It is at the Y Not 3 with Ikarus Down and The Ragadors. It is a promotional show, to support Orin Christianson, owner of supOfunk, who created our music video in only TWO days for a last minute contest, and has not only done our photo shoot but our CD artwork as well. We are very impressed with his work, and will continue to "hire" him in the future! The cover is only $5, and it's going to be a huge party, so bring your friends!

Until next time!
