It's been a long time since we've played in LA, so we're throwing together a Molly Malone's show and sure hope you can make it - we've got tons of new tunes to share, and it's on a Saturday night so no school the next day, yeehaw!
The deets....
Molly Malone's - 575 South Fairfax, LA 90036.
Time: 8:30pm
Cover: $8
21 & up, sorry kiddos.
Oh, and if you have never been there, make sure you go all the way to the back of the bar and hang a left, go through the door, and you'll be in the music venue section (sounds silly, but we've had folks totally miss our show waiting for us to play on the teensy weency stage in the bar area!). Let me know if you have any questions.
And make sure to follow @brokedowncaddy on our new Twitter account, so you'll be sure to know when I'm eating froyo, Randy is doing his hair, and Jeff is practicing his modeling moves.
Really hope you can make it, we'd love to see all of our LA peeps - we've missed ya!
Okay, so I've got all 4 parts of our Iraq tour posted now, and I figured it would be much less confusing to just put them all in a row right here, ya know? So, here they are! You can also head to our YouTube channel and check out all of our other videos, rate and comment on them, and subscribe to our channel!
As a little Christmas/Hanukkah/New Years gift, we're giving you a free song! Between now and New Year's Day, just send an email to brokedowncadillacband@yahoo.com with FREE SONG in the subject line, and we'll send you back a Brokedown tune! (If you have the album, don't worry, it's a song that's not on there....) This offer is open to everyone, so go ahead and tell your friends and family and we'll hook them up too!
Some other info - we're now selling our band t-shirts, you can order them on our website or our myspace! And we've started a twitter account for the band, so make sure to follow us!
Finally, to all of our guys and gals who are away from their families, serving our country during the holidays- just want ya'll to know we're thinking about you and appreciating more than ever all you do for us.
Wishing you all tons of love!
-Corri, Randy, Don, Danny, & Jeff
We had a super fun time at Camp Taji in Iraq, and someone just posted this video from our show there - it was such a great night! I was so bummed because I had a camera issue the night of this show and I don't have any footage, so this was fun to see! If anyone else has Taji footage let us know, we'd love to have more!
This is us doing Ain't No Road - I pulled one of the guys up and sang to him, he was great, loved him!!
Hello all! So, I have been getting a lot of questions about why we chose to go and visit the troops in the Middle East, and so I just wanted to tell you a bit about that.... I have a bunch of family in the military, as does the rest of the band. Both of my grandfathers fought in World War II, my dad's uncle lost an eye in the Battle of Normandy, my dad spent a year in Vietnam, and my dad's brother was in the service as well, my mom's brother is a doctor in the Navy, and my sister is engaged to a Navy man, and that doesn't count the numerous friends of mine, or the family and friends the rest of the band has in the military.... I am always thinking about what it must be like over there, being away from home, in such an uncertain and isolated environment, and myself and the band, we really wanted to find a way to say thank you.... we were thrilled at the chance to go over for the Thanksgiving holiday and say thank you in person. It makes me so emotional just thinking about all these guys sacrifice for us - they are essentially giving up their freedom to protect ours. It is freaking amazing and I cannot even put into words the admiration, respect, and love I feel for these men and women. I will be writing more about what the experience was like and sharing stories, pictures, and video that I took from the trip, but for right now I just want to say to all those we had the honor the meet, and also to those we didn't get to, to all of our soldiers, sailors, airmen and marines- thank you, thank you, thank you!!!! I also want to give a big thanks to Christine Lakin and Andrew Roy - it was really these two that made this opportunity possible, and we are eternally grateful! The tour flew by and we were not ready to leave - in that desolate, dusty desert, those guys gave us the trip of a lifetime!! We love you!!!
This is a video of one of my favorite moments of the tour. Some guys came to our first show in Baghdad at Camp Stryker and then came back for the second one at Camp Liberty.... our show was at 8pm and they had lawn chairs and near beer out by the time we did our sound check at 4:30! They were so cool, and so when they requested Party in the USA during the show, well, I thought we should make it happen! As a side note, I should mention that there is no alcohol in Iraq, only non-alcoholic beer (well, except for the moonshine I've heard tell of)! So this is a completely sober performance - props to you Gavin, you rocked it!
