Good Things are Here!
February 23rd, 2012
Greetings Y’all!
Citizen Bare Radio Bean gig
Hard to believe It’s been nearly a month since our last post and so many fantastic things have transpired since then. First lets start off with the present…as in tomorrow.
The Present
We have a gig tomorrow night at Radio Bean, in downtown Burlington. We go on at 10:30PM. Dwayne Doner, a Jericho local will be joining us on drums that evening. It should be a blast! There will be at least 3 other bands playing so come on down and hang out with us for a bit. Fingers crossed that we do not have another snow storm like we did the last time we played at Radio Bean.
We still have physical copies of our new EP Carnival if you are interested. They are $6. You can also find it online at itunes, Amazon or cdbaby. We also have t-shirts in men and women’s sizes for $15. You can place orders here at citizenbare@gmail.com
The Past
What a stupendous first few months of 2012 for CB! We have played 3 super gigs with some pretty damn amazing bands and folks! Our show on February 3 at The Monkey House was a huge success. Pretty amazing that for one night in Burlington there were count em four Patterson’s on stage! This Way and Kingsley Flood were fantastic! These two bands are playing another show together on Saturday in Portland, Maine. Check them out if you are headed that way. We owe many thanks to Tyson Valyou who did a fantastic job playing drums for us. Be sure to check out his other bands: Husbands AKA and Vetica, playing tonight at The Monkey House.
Citizen Bare played a short set this month at the open mic at On Tap in Essex.
Air Time
Carrie Henry from The Local Spotlight on The Point was at the Monkey House show that night. She loved what she saw and decided to highlight Citizen Bare, This Way and Kingsley flood on the point that weekend. Carrie gave us a great compliment on air saying Citizen Bare was “out of this world”. Thanks to Carrie and the point for giving us some great press.
Andrew James got a great opportunity to interview on Radio Free New England this month. Listen to his interview at RadioFreeNewEngland.
Phil Yates has been playing our tunes on St. Michael’s College radio station, The Mike. Phil’s band… Phil Yates and the Affiliates has been rocking around town.
Citizen Bare has remained at the top of the charts on FreeRadioVermont for the last month. Its exciting to get to hear our tunes on the air and we really appreciate the support!
And last but certainly not least our Carnival EP was reviewed in Seven Days by music critic Dan Bolles, which you can read by clicking on the link above. We really appreciate Dan’s reviewing this album!
“While the bulk of the band’s material falls in the alt-country rubric, Citizen Bare do dabble outside the genre’s twangy constraints. Traces of jam, soul and straight-up rock can be heard throughout. That deference to myriad stylistic influences is largely a strength, and suggests a healthy sonic curiosity and willingness to take risks. “ Dan Bolles, Seven Days
The Future
We have a few gigs coming up that we are super psyched about.
February 24th @ 10:30pm, Radio Bean, Burlington.
March 16th @ 9:30pm, Manhattan Pizza, Burlington. Start your St. Paddy’s day celebration weekend with us downtown. It will be a fantastic night to come out and hear some CB tunes.
March 31st @ The Rusty Nail, Stowe. We are opening for Enter the Haggis, a Toronto band. We have tickets to sell for $12. They are $15 at the door so be sure to contact your favorite CB member to get yours early. Of course, you can always email us to tell us how many tickets you want. This should be a great show for CB so don’t miss it!
Lastly don’t forget that you can find us on Facebook & Twitter giving up to the minute updates!
See you soon!
