We had a great time playing The Fillmore in the Poster Room last night!! So much vibe in such an amazing venue. We're back at it today with rehearsal, a guest appearance at a friend's gig, and then off to play an all night jam! It is fulfilling to be out, doing what we love, playing as much as possible with people and at places we admire, sharing music and seeing so many new faces at our shows lately!!

The sound has captured us.

 

This week is a busy one for us. We are looking forward to playing 4 shows in SLO this week, including Monday for Songwriters at Play at Upper Crust Trattoria, Thursday at Luna Red in SLO, and rounding out the week with Friday and Saturday afternoons at Cambria Pines Lodge from 4-7pm.

We're a busy schedule with shows in LA, SLO, Cambria, SF, and Santa Rosa this month including our return to The Fillmore playing in the legendary Poster Room! The band is growing and things are sounding better by the day!! We have a few new songs in the mix that we are looking forward to sharing with you. We have lots of shows coming up so check out our show page to your left and see what we are up too.

See ya soon Girls & Boys

 

Howdy Girls & Boys!

Wow! Half-way through February already - really? Well, we are thrilled and welcome 2013 with open arms! Thanks to everyone we've met along the way; those who've been with us from the very start and to those of you new to the Girls & Boys family, welcome! We are on quite an exhilarating journey and are very pleased to have you come along. There's exciting news to share, as always! Read on...

Most recent and pressing announcements are the additions to our calendar which includes a spot at this year's Bottle Rock Festival in Napa, CA coming up in May! ( http://bottlerocknapavalley.com/ ) The only word to describe the feeling it gives us while perusing the lengthy collection of musicians/idols on this bill with our band listed shortly behind would be ecstatic! And.. maybe a bit surreal. If that weren't enough news to write home about, we've also landed an opening spot for legendary bay area California soul band The Mother Hips ( http://www.motherhips.com/ ) this April the 19th at The New Parish in Oakland, CA (http://www.girlsandboysmusic.com/shows/2013-04-19-no-venue/) as well as Sunday April 21st at the famous Cliff's Resort (http://www.cliffsresort.com/) in Pismo Beach, CA. One more event you won't want to miss will be our debut at SLO Brew March 2nd opening for Carrie Rodriquez ( http://www.carrierodriguez.com/ ) where we'll will be kicking off the night with an acoustic set! Tickets are available through us for $8 dollars, or $10 with the purchase of our album. That's right, $2 for our album! Send us an email with your email address to: gnbband1@gmail.com and we'll send you a link to PayPal. We can then deliver your tickets to you in person, by mail, or have it waiting for you at will call the night of the show. Don't miss out; as of right now there's less 20 tickets left! We can't wait to get on that stage and rock!


"I Would", the third track off our debut album is now getting regular airplay on the epic SLO station Krush 92.5 The Perfect Blend 
http://www.krush925.com/ ) . And we've recently heard that "Winter Moon" as well as "Scratch & Scream" (a featured song from Shoreline's film, Divorce Invitation http://www.divorceinvitation.com/) are both being played on KCBX 90.1FM ( vhttp://www.kcbx.org/ ) We've met many new fans who are coming out to shows after hearing our music and have been told from tons of family and friends that they are hearing us every day! 

We have a new string of tunes added to our set and the band is getting tighter and more polished every day. We are so excited and privileged to have our members on board; the one and only Mark Tarlton (Echodrone, Shambhala) laying it down with his impeccable style and beats, along with the sweet, soulful and mindful talent of the all-musical guitarist Nick Simmons (http://nicksimmons.org/). We recently debuted the full band at Sonoma County's Arlene Francis Center ( http://arlenefranciscenter.org/ ) accompanied by the incomparable pianist and true B3 player, Mike Emerson ( http://www.mikeemerson.net/ ), who made several appearances on our debut album The Feel of the Sun on tracks including "Stranger", "Scratch & Scream", "Tiny Little Root", and "Winter Moon". Thanks for the personality Mike!
It was a gas!

We just announced that we will be performing with bay area favorites "The Mother Hips" at The New Parish in Oakland on April 19th. We will keep you posted as future gigs roll in.

We have been hard at work recording demos of our new material, working on setting up a new studio, rehearsing and gigging. Things are moving forward for us with the song "I Would" being put into regular rotation on the KRUSH 92.5 in San Luis Obsipo!! We are working on getting our song "Wanna" and another song in a movie coming out next year as well. Most of our time has been spent writing new material and rehearsing with new found musicians. It has been a productive month with a lot of travel as well. It has been a sacrifice moving out of our home, hitting the road and staying with family and friends but it is paying off and things are looking awesome for the upcoming year. We have learned a lot about the music business in the last year and are going to put it to use for ourselves in the coming months and make our music sustainable! Hope you are all well and we hope to see you soon!

 

There is lots going on for Girls & Boys! We have been working on new material, a new live setup to add to the mix, and setting up our new studio!! We have been playing all over California and are enjoying life on the road and this new chapter for us and our music.

Recently we have been collaborating with some other artists on some of our gigs. This has been fun and rewarding for us and our fans! We are also working on material for our second album and there is talks of recording some acoustic songs. While you may not have heard from or seen us for awhile I can tell you that we have been hard at work behind the scenes with Brianna and I making this our full time job. Things are looking great for the rest of this year and 2013 is going to be by far our best year yet!!

Thanks for going on this journey with us and we hope to see you all soon!
