BIG NEWS about the Red Rocks Show! New DVD!
Posted by Stacey on Thursday 15th of May 2008 06:51:57 PM.
We've decided against an opening act which gives the band more time to play. Lots more. They will be playing two longs sets, so expect to hear 3+ hours of BHTM! Since we'll all be hanging out for so long, we figure why not film it and make a DVD? Both DVD and audio CD of Red Rocks 2008 will be released later this year. Be a part of it, get your tickets and all the details on the Red Rocks Page.

ON THE ROAD - 2008 - MOUNTAIN TIME and N - Y - SEE!
Posted by Jeff w/BHTM on Monday 21st of April 2008 03:39:10 PM.
We rolled in to Portland and headed straight for KINK, the local radio station. Todd and I headed in to set up for a 3 song set with a live audience in attendance. We occasionally visit stations to help spread the word about shows, and even though the show at the Crystal Ballroom was selling well, we wanted to stop by because any time we can get ourselves on the radio, we take advantage of the opportunity.
The Crystal was packed and it was great to be there on a weekend night this time around. Historically, we have been in Portland on a weeknight, so this was nice to offer fans the chance to come to a Portland show and not have to worry about getting up early for work the next morning. I know I have said it before, but if only every night was a weekend!
Next up was our yearly stop in Seattle. We had a similar situation here to Portland, whereby we hit town on a weekend night to offer those fans the same chance to stay up late, enjoy the show, and then sleep in. It worked. Sold out! The place was jammed and these two nights really helped us end a long winter on some high notes. We had warm and sunny days in both Portland and Seattle. We took credit for the weather, of course, as the locals told us it had been dreary in the days ahead of our arrival. Whatever we need to do to bring a little sunshine into the lives of our fans!
The sun continued to shine on us as we headed back towards the east, stopping in Boise, ID for a show at the Big Easy. It was a beautiful Sunday morning, one which we missed most of due to the long overnight drive. That, and the fact that we lost an hour along the way, crossing back in to our home time zone, good ole Mountain Daylight Time. We had to scramble in and out of our morning hotel, clean up, and bust a move over to the venue for an early load in. Why? Well, it's always something. This time, we had to set up and sound check as quickly as possible so that we could turn the venue over to a charity function that was booked in to the same place during the middle of our work day. This struck me as an unbelievable idea, and I still plan on letting someone know that this is not how a venue should be run. Of course, we did our part to make it happen, leaving room for a haze-filled room full of people room to dance on our stage with glow in the dark hula hoops. It was a real scene, but we adapted and overcame. After the afternoon Ladies Auxiliary bake sale/charity auction/whatever concluded, we got the New Amsterdams in there in time to get a quick sound check before doors opened for our own bake sale. Shake and bake, that is, as in a solid crowd of dancing fools. (Anyone see Talladega Nights-The Ballad of Ricky Bobby? -- Shake and Bake!) We had good show, and other than our driver oversleeping, oh, and the girls jumping over the barricade to climb on stage to dance -- Breach of Stage! -- we had a solid Sunday night.
Could we make it four in a row? We hadn't been to Salt Lake City in a while, stopping instead at the now-shut-down Suede in Park City. All band and crew members celebrated not having to play there again. For a variety of reasons, it was a tough place to play. This time we were at the Depot in SLC. Todd and I began the day with a trip to the radio station to record an interview that was played later on during the day, which definitely helped us to walk up over 100 people who did not purchase a ticket in advance. We consider that a worthy radio visit. The venue was a wonderful place to work in, and we hope to frequent this place on future tours. It was yet another beautiful day for us. The sun certainly did follow us through what can be a bleak area of the country in the middle of winter/spring. Perhaps an overdose of vitamin D is just what we needed to finish up a long winter on a high note.
We looked forward to a 72 hour break, after which we climbed on a United flight to New York's LaGuardia airport for the weekend. We got to our hotel in time to check in and dump our luggage before heading to the location of our first engagement of two in the big city, at a private big-wig joint called the Core Club. When we arrived, everyone was in full swing, preparing for our arrival to get set up and sound checked before the guests started arriving for this private party for which we were hired to perform. We knocked it out easily enough had a good time, and then all met up at the Divine Bar, the club next door to our hotel in Manhattan, just a few blocks south of Central Park. We all hung out rather late, using the following day off as justification for solving all the world's problems from our bar stools. In typical fashion, I woke up the following morning to find that I had left my jacket (wallet inside) on that very bar stool. Sadly, I had not left that shot glass full of whatever hellfire had been ordered up for all of us. Fortunately, I drank a lot of water before I slept, and the gal answered the phone the next day to let me know she had my jacket safe and secure. The day off was a good chance to walk this legendary metropolis, and I focused on Central Park, which I learned was large enough to eat up a week of walking if I had that much time to explore. I maneuvered through about a third of it, did a lot of people watching, and at one point stood close enough to a tour guide to eavesdrop and learn where George Steinbrenner and Jerry Seinfeld live. The next morning, early, I was back in Central Park to load in for our show at the big stage - not sure if it has a name - to celebrate Earth Day. We played right after Kevin Bacon's band - don't pay to see them - and just ahead of Ricky Skaggs and his Kentucky Thunder band -- They are great if you like Blue grasssssssssssszzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz. But great musicians!
We finished early and were all back at the hotel by 5PM. I decided to grab a NY slice, after frequenting the local NY Deli for the first two days of our stay. I then sensibly hit the rack early as I knew 6:45AM would come early. We had to climb back on the plane Monday morning, and head back to Mountain time again. Other than a few loud kids and a loud loud speaker (don't they realize people like to sleep on planes?), it was typical. Long, but typical. I looked at my iCal and to my surprise saw that we have no shows scheduled until the end of May, when we first make up our date in Tempe (Todd lost his voice) and then fly to Texas for the Dallas, Austin, Houston trifecta. Get your tickets in advance from the web site so we can get fired up to do these shows!!! We will be coming off a break, so we should be fresh and ready to rock.
As always, you are the reason we do it....
