Email list

I have traveled all over this country and found places that I love to visit, but it's always good to come back home to VT.
Hawaii was a wild adventure. It took way more work than we had been expecting, but we pulled it off with style.
Yeah the Promoter- John Stallings from Aloha Groove was not at all on the ball. the gear that was supposed to be rented for us was not, gigs were never confirmed.... I could go on and on. The point is that the band could have lost it and it could have been really bad, but we pulled together.
We found generous people willing to lend us gear and put us up.  Our friends that came along pitched in a helped with expenses.
We even bought a crappy keyboard from Costco for Andric to play and then returned it at the end of the tour as it was totally not a professional instrument- built in speakers and all. Ha Ha!
Thanks to everyone who helped us out!

So here we go kicking off a busy summer this weekend with gigs:

  Friday 6/6 @ Toad, Cambridge/Boston, MA  10-1:30,

  Saturday 6/7 @ Ashley's, Randolph VT 9-12:30,

Pulse Prophets email

Winter is almost over! I have started back country skiing this winter and am not as excited about the end of winter as I used to be, but hey I love kayaking too. Hopefully I will have some time between gigs!
 This Friday February 29 the Pulse Prophets will be playing at Nectar's at 9PM opening for the Nate Wilson Group.
 March is going to be a busy month.

 Here's what we have on the books for March:

This Saturday 3/1 @ the Snow Shoe Pub, Montgomery Center VT 10PM. Our last show there was one of the best we have ever played!

Wednesday 3/5 @ the Two Brothers Tavern in Middlebury VT 10PM. A new venue for us.

Thursday 3/6 @ the Black Door in Montpelier VT 9PM. This is a benefit for the CVT Anti-racism Study  Circle and the International Relief Committee put on by Ellen who won the Pulse Prophets play your house party raffle. We hope you will come out to support these great causes!

Friday 3/7 @ Above the Notch Tavern / Cannon Mountain View in Franconia NH 9PM. They have the best pizza I have ever had! Believe me musicians practically live on pizza because that is what most venues feed us. I have started bringing a cooler of my own food rather than eat pizza, but when we play here I look forward to pizza!

Saturday 3/8 @ Ashley's in Randolph VT 10 PM. This gig has been growing and becoming really positive. Thanks to those of you who come to see us here for making it happen.

Friday 3/14 @ Salt Hill Pub in Lebanon NH 9PM. Spread the word! People enjoy us here, but they do not dance much.  Bring out all of your dancing friends and fire it up!

Saturday 3/15 @ On The Rise in Richmond VT 7 PM. Great Food! Great Vibes! Great Music!

Friday 3/21 @ Toad in Cambridge Boston  MA  10PM. Our favorite gig in Boston.

Saturday 3/22 @ the Hub in Johnson VT 10PM. Another new venue for us.

Friday 3/28 @ CharlieO's in Montpelier VT 10 PM. Our original stomping ground.

Saturday 3/29 @ Jammin' to End Famine. A benefit to feed folks at UVM. More info TBA.

April- Tour Hawaii Yeah!!!!!!!!!!

updates

What's up y'all?
We got in some miles this last weekend. We made it to Burke through the freezing rain and snow. The crowd was small but very enthusiastic! A radio station in Lyndon heard our new cd and decided to play us  even though they do not play music that is not on the charts. The DJ said, "I put your disk in my cd player on a long drive. I was blown away by the song 'Come Your Way' so we decided to throw the rules out the window and we have been playing it on our show!"  Pretty cool, I hope it catches on with other DJs!
Then it was on to Trumansburg next town over from Ithaca NY. We rocked the historic hippie hang out- the Rongovian Embassy and made some new friends there.
Ani Di Franco passed us in her tour bus while we were packing our gear into our van. They didn't even beep their horn, can you believe that! He He.

Our Hawaii tour is beginning to really take shape. So far it looks like we'll have a jam-packed schedule of making ass-kicking music while still having some time to relax and enjoy the beach during the daytime. Ah, the life! A number of our fans are traveling to Hawaii to see us too! This is great and we encourage more of you to come.

Here is the schedule so far:

4/2 Mai Tai Bar – Honolulu , Oahu
4/3 Anna Bananna's – Honolulu , Oahu
4/4 Kainoa's – Haleiwa, Oahu
4/5 Boardrider's – Kailua , Oahu
4/6 KTUH radio appearance, Oahu

4/7 TV appearance – Nighttime With Andy Bumatai (awaiting confirmation)
4/7 Mai Tai Bar – Honolulu , Oahu
4/9 Manao Radio - LIVE in studio 8:00pm, Maui
4/10 Life's a Beach - Kihei, Maui
4/11 Charley's - Paia, Maui

 

For those coming to Hawaii :
We will be updating this post with new info as it becomes available. Not all of our dates are set in stone yet. Things move a little slower on the islands so we're still waiting for confirmations on some shows. So far we're on Oahu the first week and Maui the second. Most likely we'll have one show on the Big Island on Saturday April 12 but we are still waiting to find this out. This is the best we can do right now to provide info for you to make travel plans. Inter-island flights are rather inexpensive - about $40 each way - and hostels and camping can make for an inexpensive getaway. Flights out of Manchester , NH seem to be much cheaper than Burlington and almost as cheap as Boston . To keep an eye on prices go to Travelocity.com and add a Farewatcher email alert. We've seen ticket prices as low as $500 roundtrip.

A big thanks to our promoter, John Stallings, at Aloha Groove for putting this tour together. Please spread the word to any friends or family you have in Hawaii ! Thanks y'all.
