January 31, 2010 — Winter update in the life of a Gypsy band
These days we’re putting the finishing touches on our 3rd album, tentatively self-titled. Thanks to everyone who already has pre-ordered, it is a huge help in getting this CD out and not going into too much debt.
Here is the video of us performing at the LA County Holiday Celebration. (Finally a good video of us on youtube)
We just finished up a whole month of touring that has been really fun and successful. The shows in Lancaster, PA, Los Angeles and Santa Barbara have been especially memorable. And thanks for the free skiing at Northstar in Tahoe after rocking out the ice rink in sub-zero temperatures. We sold out half our shows this month and every show but one was packed (what’s up Philly??). We even sold so many CDs that we ran out half way through the tour.
We want to thank everyone that came out to a show, bought a CD, hosted us at their house, etc. Touring isn’t easy, and it means a lot to us to have such great, enthusiastic fans.
Special thanks to our friends from the band Luminescent Orchestrii from New York who put us up while we we’re there. We always have a great time staying with them. They are kindred spirits in Gypsy Music, if you haven’t heard them, please check them out.
