Coming To Your Local Bandstand: The Pernice Brothers

Joe Pernice and crew Saturday began more than a month's worth of tour dates to support the recently released Pernice Brothers set Live A Little (which, if you pre-ordered, came with a nifty disc of demos and outtakes). We are of two minds regarding the tour: we're happy the band is out there bringing the rock to the people, but we are missing the witty bloggage that Joe and Ashmont Records business partner Joyce Linehan have been publishing regularly since the band's web site was redesigned. Still, with Joe's burgeoning superstardom peaking due to regular repeats of his "Gilmore Girls" cameo, it is probably best for him to be out there, striking while the iron is hot night after night. This tour is going everywhere in the U.S., but not Canada because of some sideman visa issues and feared trouble from the mounties. Don't know what you are missing? Well, fortunately for you Mr. Pernice's revamped web sites features full album streams. Hit this link to access streams of Live A Little and Discover A Lovelier You. The set list from the first night look's pretty hot, so buy your tickets now.
