Heartless Bastards, 2.0

Erika continues to amaze me with her vocals. Thanks for sharing that lwj.

I have fingers crossed stoger will also be at the Joplin tribute to give a much more accurate, comprehensive report on Lu’s performance, HOWEVER, if he isn’t able to attend, I’ll try my best!

Doh! Just missed them Saturday at Spaceland. ;(

I just heard HB will be in my neighborhood on Dec. 26! I have them tentatively penciled in. Hope it works out to see them.

I looked up the venue for this-The historic Southgate House in Newport, KY

You will enjoy the HB’s especially if they are not opening for some other band.
Saw them again two nights ago in Toronto. Short set opening forWolfmother which I did not care about.
Ask Erika again at the merchandise table if she remembers you in Minneapolis.

John Patrick, the music host that interviewed Erika, popped his head in and told me Erika barely remembers talking to me at Lu’s reception. She told him she was pretty drunk (but she does remember talking to someone from Cincy, it was just sketchy ). I laughed and told him I wasn’t quite in the shape she was in, however, if she had seen me later in the night, I was sort of drunk,

All the best Lafayette and I hope the Bengals win.

I’m looking forward to seeing HB. Very cool they are making a return (was here in March for CD release show) but no surprise, I suppose, with them calling Cincinnati home

Lafayette, have you got your tickets yet for Dec. 26th? It would be a long drive for me to the Newport venue but am considering it.

Here is a new interview with Erika from MF Magazine.

No, I haven’t but have cleared it with my better half. We are definitely going, better get tickets now. I’m almost certain this will sell out. Cincinnati (Newport) is great place to see this band as they consider Cincy home. Let me know if you plan on coming and we can meet up beforehand.

Newport on Dec. 26th is out for me Lafayette. It’s an 8 hour drive for me or $270.. airfare from Buffalo to Cincy return.
Besides, I just got invited to my sisters new country chalet for Chrismas.

Anyway, I have been fortunate enough to see Erika and the HB’s 3 times in 2009
Twice in Toronto and once in Buffalo.
Someday, perhaps our paths will meet-just like you met TnTracy and Stoger at Lu’s Wedding.

Here is a short blurb on the Hb’s Headline Tour planned for 2010.

You can get an HB hoodie for something like 15 bucks. Lafayette, you could wear it under your Bearcats sweater for the big game.

Only if she can wear a Youth Large or an Adult Small. Those are the only sizes available. Neither works for me, unfortunately. I’d love to have one of the hoodies for $15. 😥

In fact, there are limited size options for pretty much everything. For men’s stuff, looks like the smallest sizes are all that are left. My guess is the sale is so they can clear out inventory to make way for some new designs. Too bad – I really like the “Dog” design.

OY! Not going to be able to make it now, lwj. We have an early morning appt. on 27th before heading to Bengals game. It’s too much all at once!

Actually, the Dayton show on the 27th is very near me as well, that’s a possiblity, however, I assume that is the other sold out show you posted? Canal Street Tavern, so I have heard, is a great listening room type venue. Erika grew up in Dayton so I am sure she will have a great crowd.
