FDHMas in March

Here's me shilling again.

Any of the five of you who may read this screed from time to time probably know of this band I enjoy called Four Day Hombre. For my part, they've got three hooks. First, the music is great. Take a listen here. Second, I really do enjoy catching a band before they get big. They still play small shows, are humble and accessible and you can feel like you're in on a best kept secret type thing. These guys fit that bill very well. Lastly, the lead singer is a friend from years back. Salt of the earth and talented to the point of bothersome. Deserving of success. And you have to love it when you see friends do well.

With that said, Christmas for me is coming at the end of this month! It could be for you too, if you so choose to jump on the bandwagon. Four Day Hombre is crossing the pond for the first sortie of yet another potential British invasion. For us, this means two dates in Manhattan! Preceding that are multiple dates up north in Canada. Soon the Canadians will know what I've been talking aboot. Tour dates and information can be found here.

Locally, you can see FDH @ The Annex on March 27th at 9:00 p.m. (unconfirmed time). On March 28th, they will be playing an acoustic set @ Rockwood Music Hall around 11:00 p.m. (again, an unconfirmed time). That show actually starts at 9:00 p.m. I haven't a clue who else is appearing along side theses lads, but however bad (or good) the other groups might be, if you are anywhere in the vicinity of the five boroughs, do yourself a favor and come out to see the next big thing from Britain.

Oh, and I'll be there too. As will the Mrs., but no BFD. It'll be way past his bed time. Still, come meet the Bourgeois Deviants! (If that is actually added incentive for anyone out there in Blog land, I'll eat my hat.)

Back in the Saddle

So, for all two of you who might check this screed with any regularity, I'm officially back. Not that I was ever gone. Its just that for the last six months, but more the latter three, this little bugger has been keeping me more than busy.

BFD is now about 6.5 months and, as you might guess, a bundle of energy. Its been the best thing in this blogger's life and, oddly, true to this blog's name. Full time stay-at-home-Dad is a title that may do my professional resume little good, but it is one that I am the most proud of.

With all that said, the blogging saddle is something I can re-ascend as now that I have been at this Dad thing for just over three months, I have a relaxed handle on it. Blogging feels approachable again. However, it must be noted that given the wealth of material out there what with the War, the Libby trial, presidential candidates announcing and other like news, its all very hard to know where to jump in. So, I won't. Not really. Easing in with topics close to my heart seems more agreeable.

I am sure I will, one day soon, get back to my formerly righteously indignant self, but not this day. Too much good stuff has been going on for me personally with BFD, friends getting back in touch, favorite bands landing NYC gigs, etc... to channel any palpable piss and vinegar that was once my forte. Ebbs and flows, crests and troughs, righteous waves and calm seas. All part of the same water that is this life.

If you're checking me regularly, thanks so much. If you're here for the first time, do come again.

More as it happens.
