04.23.11 - The Laketon Inn - Lakewood, NJ

Howdy, Dan here reporting on all the happenings in our little world of rock and roll. First off we as usual would love to thank all the SR fans who came out to our last show at the Laketon this past Saturday. It always nice when myself and Matt get to return to our home town to rock out for our fans that have been supporting us since the beginning. These shows we do at the Laketon are for you guys, and we appreciate you're support.

Last Saturday's show at "The Tin" was one of the best in a while. The weather is starting to warm and people are starting to come out of hibernation with an itch to scratch. We here at Stolen Rhodes are always more than willing to scratch your itch for epic rock and roll. Saturday's show was a two and a half hour long, two set extravaganza, that featured an old SR tune that we haven't played since the summer (Take Me Home), and the return to the set list of Pearl Jam's Rearviewmirrior. A raucous set indeed that also included a sing along to Keeps Us Moving and the bombastic 1-2 closing punch of One Day Everyday and the Springsteen classic Rosalita. The show also featured myself rolling around on the ground acting out the final verse to Spirit In The Night. Matt's new song Lying Low is quickly working its way into solid rotation, and Dan's forthcoming new song Eyes should be joining the set list rotation shortly.

Make sure you are around this weekend as SR plays two shows in three days. In the early afternoon on Saturday SR will be playing at Communiversity on the campus of Princeton University, and later that afternoon we will be performing Surf Taco Jackson's annual Cinco de Taco Festival. The show in Princeton is scheduled to start at 1:15 while the time for our show at Surf Taco will be announced very shortly. Keep an eye on facebook.com/stolenrhodes for that set time. On Sunday we will be playing an early morning show at the Spring Fling in Westfield, NJ. SR hits the stage at 11:30 AM. hope to see you all for this run of shows.

09.11.10 - Bensalem, PA - TDBA Rockfest @ TD Bank Amphitheater

Howdy SR fans. Last night we played what turned out to be a very memorable show as the headliners of the TDBA Rockfest at TD Bank Amphitheater. This was the first ever SR performance on September 11, and SR made it one for the record books. The show started out rocking as usual with the Peacemaker, Life Was Never Finer 1-2 combo, and after a quick dedication to the lives lost on 9/11/01 we blasted through a rousing redition of One Day Everyday. The highlight of the night though was no doubt a version on Keeps Us Moving that surely none of us will ever forget, as Tim Doyle (a good friend of mine...this is Dan btw...and a good friend of the band) ran around the stage waving a giant American flag. There will be pictures and video of the epic moment coming to Facebook and YouTube shortly. Upon the conclusion of the American dream based song, the approximate 60+ crowd gave us a rousing ovation that we will personally never forget anytime soon. A great night for all, and a great night to celebrate the memory of those fallen. God Bless America.

Set List:
Peacemaker
Life Was Never Finer
Brand New Cadillac
One Day Everyday
All I Need
Falling off the Edge
Keeps Us Moving

This show marks the second show of what plans to be an epic next month or so for the band. Next week we will be at World Cafe in Philly on Friday night supporting our buddies Big Blue Spruce for their CD release. The week after that we will be performing double duty on the 25th as we provide the music for the Jackson PBA's 11th Annual Pig Roast in the afternoon, and then opening up once again for country stars Gloriana at Prospectors in Mount Laurel, NJ.

On October 2 we will be making our first appearance at the Laketon Inn in Lakewood, in preparation for our performance at Wingstock 2010 at First Energy Park in Lakewood on October 16.

Hope to see you at a show, and keep checking the FB, Myspace, and main page for constant band updates.

Milk Boy Coffee 02.27.2010

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.

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.
