Hey all. We had a great night at Milk Boy Coffee in Ardmore, PA just outside of Philly on Saturday night. Saturday was a special night for SR fans who came out, as we played a somewhat mellower set than normal, because of Milk Boy's more intimate type setting. We played for about a solid hour and a half, featuring some rare covers, and a couple older tunes that haven't been played in a while including a blazing version of Brand New Cadillac complete with a pre-song bass diddy by Dan that drew applause from the crowd (see link in set list for video). The night also included a four song acoustic set (a welcome break for Ian who has been playing on a banged up right index finger the past few weeks) including a laid back Life Was Never Finer, and a haunting version of Falling of the Edge.
Set List:
Faded Pictures
Brand New Cadillac **Thank you Bill Cunningham
California
Little Wing (J. Hendrix)
One Day Everyday
Beautiful Way
All Night Long
Vultures (J. Mayer, S. Jordan, P. Palladino)
Freight Train
Idle Ways
Acoustic Set:
All I Need
Take Me Home
Life Was Never Finer
Falling off the Edge
Encore:
Wild Night (V. Morrison)
Keeps Us Moving
SR fans in NYC make sure you make your way out to the Shrine Bar in Manhattan on Wednesday night for a 10 PM show. This is our first appearance at what we continue to hear is a great venue.
Also for those of you in the Northern Ocean County Area we have two announcements. First off if you have the time and means please join Stolen Rhodes at the Lakewood Elks on Saturday afternoon at 2 PM for a special benefit show for Lakewood native Glenn Williscroft (Dan & Matt both hail from Lakewood originally). Glenn has been stricken with cancer and this is a show to help raise money for him and his family put on the Brother Elks of Lakewood. A $20 donation is asked for at the door. We hit the stage at 4:30 along with our good friends the Skyelanders providing pipe and drum music in between our sets...and who knows what other surprises might arise.
Secondly; for those of you planning on checking out our Fans show Saturday night in Jackson, please note that it is canceled, as are all of our future gigs there. That is all. We will be back for a show at Surf Taco soon.
Also keep checking the MySpace, Facebook, and Reverb Nation sites for all SR updates, and for you tweeters, make sure you become a follower of SR on Twitter.
Also Stolen Rhodes would like to congratulate the United States on their complete demolition of the 2010 Winter Olympics. USA! USA! USA!
Hope to see you all this week.

Stone Pony 02.19.10 w/ Black 47
What a great night Friday was at the legendary Stone Pony in Asbury Park. Stolen Rhodes was proud and honored to have the opportunity to open up for Bronx based Irish rock legends Black 47. Stolen Rhodes was the second band to perform Friday night and they pulled no punches with a 40 minute balls to the wall opening set that saw Peacemaker find its way back to opener status, and saw the band blaze right through their first four songs of the night like an out of control freight train.
Friday was also big as SR brought in a film crew to record the entire show as part of a larger documentary being put together by band friend Rich Adragna. The band was on and energetic (despite Dan being sick as all hell) and clips from the show will be available shortly, along with documentary clips.
By the end of the show the crowd was chanting "one more song" though in tasteful form the band did not encore (unwritten rule: opening bands never encore).
Set List
Peacemaker
Life Was Never Finer
Spirit in the Night (B. Springsteen)
One Day Everyday
Idle Ways
Falling off the Edge
Keeps Us Moving
About an hour and a half later the headliners Black 47 took the stage, and what a performance they put on. There was energy, there was dancing, there was some sort of bagpipe looking instrument, there was funky bass solos...what a show. What a great band. We were just pleased and honored to be able to play with them that night, and everyone involved had a great time.
For those of you in the Philly area, come see us at Milkboy Live! this Saturday. Tickets can be bought in advance at this link http://www.milkboycoffee.com/events/view_entry.php?id=1440&date=20100227 for $8 or for $10 at the door.
We will be playing with:

Hope to see you all there; it's going to be a great night.

Kenny's Castaways 01.30.10
Hey everyone,
We'd like to thank everyone who came out to Kenny's Castaways on Saturday night for our first show in NYC of 2010. Saturday's night set was quite energetic from the band. We switched up things a little, with Faded Pictures making its first appearance as a show opener. The energy didn't dull until the fifth song in as we followed Faded Pictures with Life Was Never Finer, Spirit in the Night, and One Day Everyday all in succession. Peacemaker also remained towards the end of the set, a place where it is likely to stay for a while. By the end of the set a nice crowd had gathered towards the front of Kenny's as the people there for the other bands were singing along to the chorus of Keeps Us Moving. As of now we won't be back in NYC until March 3 when we will be playing at the Shrine Bar in Harlem. As always follow us at FB, Myspace, and Twitter for updates. Also www.stolenrhodes.com will be launching soon, as Matt is building the website as we speak.

Also if anyone would like advance tickets for our February 19 show at the Stone Pony with Black 47, or advance tickets for our February 27 show at Milkboy Live please contact Dan, Kevin, Matt, or Ian. We hope to see everyone there.
In other SR news, Dan did a little moonlighting this weekend, as he performed with old college buddy and avid SR fan Michelangelo Quirinale and his band for the Brooklyn Guitar School's student showcase. The group performed a set of Led Zeppelin tunes including Whole Lotta Love, Houses of the Holy, No Quarter, Achilles Last Stand, and Kashmir. For more information on our friends at Brooklyn Guitar School please visit them at www.facebook.com/brooklynguitarschool.
We'll be playing at the Nail in Ardmore, PA this Friday. Hope to see you there.
