State of the Lifeguard Address

Swimmers,

Hi there, how's it going? Another summer is rapidly coming to a close, and sadly, so is another chapter in the Lifeguard Nights movie of the week. As some of you know, Lifeguard Nights had been trying things out differently the past few months. Instead of recording at home and then rounding up whomever was willing and able to play gigs with me, I stripped the band down to a core group with some new players and we began working on a bunch of new material together. While the new modus operandi did yield some promising results, ultimately, it just didn't work for me. It became a complicated and difficult situation, and there's no need to go into all the details. Basically, I just wasn't having fun with it anymore, and that's not a feeling I ever want to have again.

So, I'm going back to my old ways of recording at home and then playing gigs with whomever wants to learn the songs and join me. I've got a ton of new songs in the on-deck circle waiting to be recorded and I'm pretty excited about them.

"How do you follow up a double-album," you ask? A 5 disc box set, of course.

As for shows, we have none scheduled at the moment while I get working on these new recordings. I'll keep you posted.

Last Minute Gig @ Brighton Bar!

Yes indeed, we've just been added to a stellar bill featuring No Use For Humans and Recreation, Arts and Pets! It all goes down at the Brighton Bar this Saturday, August 15th. I don't know who all is going to be playing in our band, or what the order of the bands are, if there's a cover, or anything else. All I know is you should get to the Brighton around 9 and stay for all 3 sets of musical mayhem. You won't regret it.

Outdoor Afternoon Acoustic Show This Sunday @ Trophy Bar!

Lifeguard Nights will be playing an acoustic set in the lovely backyard garden of Trophy Bar, our favorite Brooklyn watering hole!

Come have some hair of the dog and listen to some soothing rock and roll under the beautiful summer sun on a Sunday afternoon!

The bar opens at 2, we'll be going on around 3.

No Cover!
