LIFE AT THE ROGUE

Hey ya'll. What's up? It's patio season!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I could do that all day. Exclamation points about the most exciting time of the year for me; PATIO WEATHER. It's so nice! I sit outside and do my work sometimes, it's just lovely. We've only had a few shows outside so far, but I tell you, it reminds me of being on the beach. Just get a LIT and you're good to go! Especially with this lovely breeze.

So we have a lot of local stuff happening right now. The only big national shows are The Dirt Daubers, on Friday, with Motortrain, & destry with Communipaw May 28. The Dirt Daubers feature JD from TH' Legendary Shack*Shakers with his wife Jessica. Motortrain is a new rock and roll band kinda new to town. Destry has Michelle from Straylight Run & Tyler from Cassino/Northstar. Those are some pretty amazing bands they used to be in and this new one DOES NOT DISAPPOINT! I highly recommend you fall in love with them, then come see them, because they are the next big thing. Promise. Then of course AN HORSE!!! May 20th. THey are matt-and-kim-esque duo from Australia.

It's not a lot, but it's somethin' & I'm trying. I'm having a hard time figuring out what you people want! I'm trying to do something new, so again, feel free to message me and tell me what you and your friends are into. I promise I take it into consideration. It's also hard for us, while we are still a baby venue, to pull off losses on bigger shows. I find that people really don't like to pay for music around here, so it's hard to do the right thing. TELL ME WHAT YOU WANT SO I CAN GIVE IT TO YOU!

I updated the calendar. Come talk to me....littlerockhaley@gmail.com. I want to know your plans.

That was a long month! At ROGUE we had 26 shows in March. Obviously some of them are YET TO COME!

I wanted to make sure you guys know about INGRAM HILL on April 1st! Have you heard them? They are awesome, played georges a few times over the years. I LOVE LOVE LOVE this pop trio a whole lot!

New show announcements to be excited about!
AN HORSE- an Australian duo, very much modern indie pop. super fantastic.

CJ RAMONE of the fU$&NG RAMONES is coming July 21st

YOU MISSED THE SPRING STANDARDS!

What a fantastic show! Heather, James Squared, & Noah were fantastic as usual. We had a monitor blow last night, so that kinda put a kink in things early on. Sound check, we had a little problem too, but Timmy got on top of it and the band knew what they were doing and it all worked out. They played their awesome music and everyone responded so well. Granted, we don't have a room full of people, even though we had a lot of press on this event, it was still so much fun and entertaining. Noiseletter Josh is about to play RIGHT NOW. I'm still excited, because this night hasn't ended yet.

Looking forward to the upcoming week of beautiful music. Unfortunately, we're down one already. Can't believe it's over.
DONT MISS ANOTHER ONE!!
