Exciting news from The Etchings....

The Etchings got a tour van! We'll be heading to Binghamton, Ithaca, and New York in the near future, so we'll keep you posted on how that goes.

Most importantly- mark your calendars for January 28th. We'll be playing with BLOW! and All of Them Witches. Artist Matthew Grote will also be showing some of his work. This will be one of our best shows without a doubt. It's at Gateway Gallery, 141 Elmwood Ave (looks like a big yellow house) and it is BYOB (really.) Admission is $7.

We're still working on getting the studio up and running. You can keep up with the progress at www.facebook.com/TheEtchings, where we now also have free downloads available.

Check out our new website- www.theetchings.net!

Peace

Music Is Art In Retrospect

Wow. That was surreal. Fun. Crazy. Thanks Everybody!

Music Is Art

It's very short notice, but it looks like we will be playing the MUSIC IS ART festival on SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 11th around 9:00pm. Should be a fun time. I'm pretty excited to see some of the acts I may have missed in our local music scene. See you there!

Routine Maintenence

Well, our show at Mohawk was very successful. A "Thank You" needs to be said to everyone that came out and had a good time, Coterie Of Stern, A Hotel Nourishing (you guys rocked), Nick at the bar, and the guy who poured heart and soul into the lighting (unfortunately his name escapes me at the moment.) THANK YOU. Can't wait to play Mohawk again!

If you haven't already, add us on facebook if you would like to. That is usually the first place we announce things, and we like to make an event page for every show we play. Like this one.

Which reminds me, we are

PLAYING SEPTEMBER 16th AT NIETZSCHES

We hope to see you there.

If you haven't already seen these, we made commercials for our upcoming performance... we think they're pretty entertaining... what do you think?
