Time to start packing, Brokedown's heading back to Iraq!

Hey guys!  So, as many of you know, we spent last Thanksgiving over in Kuwait Iraq performing for the troops, and we are BEYOND thrilled and honored to have been invited back this April!  We felt like the last trip flew by so quickly, so we jumped at the invitation to go again.  We'll be heading over for a 10-day tour, and have been busy writing some new stuff and working hard to get a great show together for all the guys and gals over there.  
We'll be reuniting with the Hooters girls again, so I'm sure all the boys will be psyched about that! I've been practicing the pose (see above photo).....actually, even Randy's been working on it - I think he's ready, what do you think?

And Danny has been practicing looking like he has a tiny head. It's an important skill.  
The only thing I'm dreading is packing.... I'm a horrible packer! I am so meticulous about rolling things up into teeny tiny space saving bundles....sounds great in theory, but once you take things out the first time, they just never go back in.  Every time I swear I will not overpack, but you should see the stack of stuff that I am expecting to go into one bag....it's like the clown car, but, ya know, the duffel bag version..... Ugh.  Can someone just come over and pack for me? Any takers? 
Anywho, we are SO excited to see the badassness of our troops in action again!  
And for all you guys and gals over there working your booties off in the desert - get ready to shake your stuff, we're gonna have some fun!  Can't wait to see you!  xoxoxo

Good times at Camp Taji!

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!!

God Bless the USA

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!!!

Good Day for a Long Night at Camp Liberty!

Hey ya'll -I'm going to be posting some videos from the tour, here's the first one, it's from our show at Camp Liberty in Baghdad on the last night!

All kinds of fun stuff!

Hey Everyone! So- it's been an eventful few weeks! First of all - Race to Witch Mountain is #1 at the box office! It opened this weekend to a booty-kickin 25 million, and for good reason - the movie is AWESOME! The band attended the premier last Wednesday, and played the premier party - I'm including some pics from the red carpet and the show. We had an abosolute blast and are so proud to be a part of this amazing film. The film is funny and scary and sweet - just great!
AND- the soundtrack for the film is now available on iTunes - we have 2 songs on it, so we are very pumped about that, go download it!
In other exciting news, we have just released our debut album! It's called Somewhere In America and you can order it from our website - www.brokedowncadillac.net. We are really proud of it and hope you like it too! We had a big cd release party at Molly Malone's this past Saturday, tons of folks came out and we had ourselves a good ole time!

BDC with Zac Brown Band!

Hey Guys!

Hope everyone is doing great....we've been busy in the studio working on our album, can't wait for you all to hear it! I wanted to give you a heads up about a show that we're very excited about - we'll be playing Wednesday, December 10th at The Mint with the Zac Brown Band (www.myspace.com/zacbrownband). For those of you who aren't that familiar with country music, these guys are huge - they've got the #3 country single right now, "Chicken Fried," behind Carrie Underwood & Taylor Swift - Plus they're from my hometown - Atlanta, so I'm very excited to be playing with them. And they've got an awesome live show.....they play at 8:00 and we go on after them at 10:00. If you tell them you're there to see BrokeDown you can get in for eight dollars (otherwise it will be twenty)! The club is at 6010 W. Pico Blvd, at the corner of Crescent Heights and Pico, and it's 21 and up. It's gonna be a fun night - hope you can make it!
