On the Road: Dunkin Donuts Center

What a time to remember all around. Some close friends of the NMB wagon who were in the crowd said it was the best they have ever heard of the four thus far. The stage was huge! Nate and Matt were seen running aimlessly back and forth clearly having a blast. The bass was sounding right on the money and many noted how awesome the sound was. It was such an honor to be playing after State Radio and before the guys from the band "Boston". Aside from playing a stellar set the boys hung around for awhile before and after checking out their surroundings. The gang loaded equipment in and while Hoyt went to surf before stage time, the others caught a movie at Imax.

When they came back to the area the boys all agreed on joining a non-profit organization. The enterprise which shall be later officially announced, takes your guitar strings and drum sticks, makes them into jewelry and sells them to raise money for charity. Matt and Nate are especially enthusiastic about becoming a member because they are constantly breaking strings on and off stage.

On the Road:Gillett Stadium

Superb show to say the least. First and for most the crew would like to thank Hoyt for being a real trooper and playing through both shows despite the sickness that still lingers. The crew would also like to thank the wonderful staff of Gillette Stadium for making the show such a success. The band ripped through a intense two hour packed set on a gorgeous Saturday afternoon. Some older songs have made their way back into the set such as "Introductions" and "Lover Inside". The guys played a nice extended version of "Redemption Road" with a killer jam at the end. Nate let everyone know that while he can play the harmonica and sing, he also plays a pretty mean slide guitar. Not to shabby. During Hoyts drum solo, Matthew Rutler left the stage and ran to almost to the top of the venue stairs because he wanted to hear how the sound was and take a picture for himself. Despite the long haul up and down the cement stairs he made it back with his band mates to finish the song and set.

The crowd loved every minute. Across the way at the restaurant called "CBS Scene" people sitting outside were clapping and cheering as they had lunch. We all are extremely excited to return to Gillette Stadium on November 30th to play for the Patriots VS Steelers game. Until then everyone take care.

Cheers,

On the Road: The Bean

The guys have a ton of history at the Bean and a ton more memories still to come. They proved that last night by being one of the first bands to play as the venue opened back up after months of renovations. The crew had gotten word earlier in the day that their drummer Hoyt would not be par taking in the show do to a fever. To everyone's surprise he showed up a little bit before stage time and played through the show. The crowd was much appreciated. Sick or not Hoyt still played a great drum solo during "Darling Divine" Everyone in radius seemed to agree.

About midway through the set, Matt, Hoyt and Evan jumped off stage and Nate played a few solo tunes. The guys came back on halfway through "Tied up Tight" and played a banging rendition of the jam. Great night all around. During Devil Woman Matthew Rutler jumped off stage, ripping his solo on the dance floor sending the crowd into a full on safe ambush, smothering the guitar player in appreciation. Great night.

We're off to Foxboro to play for the day. See you all there

On the Road:Pixie 103 Radio Interview

The band headed north this afternoon for a pre recorded interview that will be aired this Sun on Pixie 103. The interview lasted a solid 45 mins and features some great insight on how the band met. Matt and Nate reminisced that all 4 of the members met at the same place but on different nights. The complete and elaborate story could be told but you'll have to tune in this Sunday evening. The guys were asked and talked about all kinds of interesting stuff. Very funny, entertaining and inspirational interview for all. Tune in.

The band is off this weekend because they are hitting the studio to begin the recording of "Say it" Be sure to check out next weekend: Friday Oct 10th 2008 The Bean in Bristol, Rhode Island. Patriot Place, Gillette Stadium, Foxboro, MA.

Catch you all on the flip side,

On the Road: Live at the Hive!

The band put away their amps, and show equipment and picked up only a few acoustics while Hoyt drummed on buckets, pots, and pans. The band played to a very small and romantic setting entertaining only few great friends and supporters in a private atmosphere. EVG got to show off his brand spanking new acoustic bass and Hoyt showed us that he could drum on the streets of any city if you gave him some sticks and a bucket. Definitely a different but great show that the band and friends won't soon forget. Keep your eyes and ears open for some recordings in the future. Thank you to everyone who came. Most importantly, thank you to the Beehive Cafe and their wonderful staff for allowing this to go down. Who knows maybe it will happen again.

Until then......
