Win a brand new iPod Touch at our Holiday Raffle!

At The Rock Hop Holiday Hooplah on December 10th we will be giving away a brand new black 8GB iPod Touch! The iPod will come loaded up with tons of music, artwork and videos from performers Finish Ticket, Please Do Not Fight, PK and Rin Tin Tiger as well as artist David Maddalena and, on top of that, also does everything a normal iPod Touch does.

Each of the bands will aso be donating merchandise and other gifts to be included in the Raffle.

TO ENTER: All you need to do is attend The Rock Hop on December 10th. Every person who comes wearing an ugly Holiday Sweater gets one free raffle ticket. Raffle tickets are also available for $2 and all the money goes toward supporting future Rock Hops and helping us create neat opportunities like this raffle! Raffle tickets will be drawn throughout the night with the iPod Touch being given away prior to Finish Ticket’s set. You must be present at the time your number is called to claim your prize!

That’s about it. Big thanks goes out to Dan Mahoney for creating this opportunity and donating a brand new iPod Touch to the cause. We’re stoked to be able to beef up the boing factor on our raffle to such a mega degree.

Can’t wait to see you all there!

Goodbye Open Mic Night

Ladies and gentlemen we are sad to announce that we will be hosting our last Open Mic Night on December 8th.

This will also be The Riekes Center’s last Open Mic Night effectively bringing it to a close. It’s been an amazing run but after almost two years and with Geoff and I moving to San Francisco and Please Do Not Fight’s schedule getting busier and busier we are going to have to bow out. It’s been so much fun sharing our songs with you and hearing your own talent month after month but I’m afraid it’s time to put our energies elsewhere.

It still remains to be seen if Open Mic Night will continue into the future with a new crew but we’re certainly interested in hearing any ideas and suggestions on the subject and we’ll announce anything of the sort over on the Grind Open Mic Night Facebook page. At very least we promise you we will return to the Grind with some acoustic madness at some point in the future.

We hope to see you on December 8th with your very best holiday smile for one more rolickin’ good time with the Open Mic Night crew.

Much love Redwood City.

The Rock Hop – the 50s style concert created by yours truly and Picture Atlantic – returns on December 10th and boy are we excited about this one. We will be playing third out of four and will be supported by best breh’s Rin Tin Tiger and out-of-towners PK from San Luis Obispo. Headlining will be NSSN 2010 Winners Finish Ticket. On top of all that we will be featuring the art of David Maddalena who will be stationed at the Collage Bar where you’ll be able to build your own Christmas Cards – just in time for the holidays!

Forget Not So Silent Night – this year The Rock Hop is the holiday event of the season.

More exciting Rock Hop Holiday Hooplah announcements forthcoming but hopefully this is enough to wet your whistle.

Love,

Dear 21+ friends – do you avoid our big shows because you’re afraid of children? Would you like to enjoy a 12-pack of PBR in quiet shame without the curious eyes of a baby catching your gaze? Well then my friends, THIS SHOW IS THE SHOW FOR YOU. We will be opening up the night at 9:30pm on the dot. We will play all of our new album pastpresentfuture : part 1 as well as a slew of new material including a never before heard song. Seriously.

After our set we will be grabbing some beers and other fancy drinks while enjoying the sounds of our very talented friends in Sunrunners, Picture Atlantic and Briertone. Yes, you heard it right, we’ll be hanging out and we’d love if you came and hung out with us.

Love,

Zen
