Location: Capitol Hill
Sounds Like: the Hives, the Raconteurs, the Black Keys

There’s nothing flashy about the Hall Monitors, and that’s exactly how they like it. The lo-fi foursome makes the sort of bluesy roadhouse rock that your old man might have washed down with a few boilermakers….

We’ve been invited down to NC to play a holiday show with our fine countrypolitan amigos Southren Culture on the Skids. This is our second show with the band, our first was back in August. It shall be a swell time indeed

If it’s anything like the 9:30 Club show, it’ll be one beautifully boisterous gathering of shur-fine rock-n-roll.

Show starts at 8 pm. Tickets are $12/$15.

Greetings amigos,

The Hall Monitors, just won a spot on the MTV Choose or Lose Tour with Locksley and we’re playing on Wednesday, October 22nd at The Launchpad in Albuquerque, New Mexico. We’re jet setting!
This is interesting because…

1) it’s MTV (Choose or Lose, Rock the Vote)
2) it’s less than two weeks before the biggest election in your lifetime
3) it’s at The Launchpad, the best rock venue in town
4) Locklsey has toured with The Hives and Hanson and have performed live on Jimmy Kimmel and Conan O’Brien
5) This is their (and our) first show in Albuquerque
6) Celebrate Sidsel and Mike’s new baby, which fuels the excitement!
7) Show up with a baby present, congratulatory present for the new daddy!!

We hope you can be there!

Sept. 06, 2008 http://www.hallmonitors.net/2008/09/buddy-holly-jp-surf-club-090608/ http://www.hallmonitors.net/2008/09/buddy-holly-jp-surf-club-090608/#comments Wed, 03 Sep 2008 03:24:56 +0000 admin http://hallmonitors.net/hallmoni/?p=3 The legendary Buddy Holly was born as Charles Hardin Holley in Lubbock, Texas on September 7th, 1936. It’s been 72 years since Buddy entered this world, but his music is as influential today as it was in 1957, when he recorded hits such as “Everyday” and “Peggy Sue” with his first band The Crickets. Tomorrow night, The Hall Monitors and JP McDermott and Western Bop will be celebrating Buddy Holly’s birthday at the Surf Club Live!, which happens to be the last standing roadhouse in the DC area (and yes, it’s still around). We guarantee that the music will be hoppin’ (since Holly’s tunes will be included in both bands’ sets) and the floor will be jumpin’ (as we’ve learned that the Surf Club crowd has a solid group of swingers - and we’re talking about dancing, but we’ll leave the rest to your imagination). We’re excited to play this show, and we hope you’ll join us! See attached flyer for more details.
