If at first you succeed...

DO IT AGAIN!

Apparently, we did well enough at the Newport back in July (~125 people that bought OUR tickets) that we've been able to confirm ANOTHER date there in September. To all of you out there that supported us for that first show, give yourselves a pat on the back... and then get ready to come out to the Newport AGAIN.

We will be playing there on Friday September 22nd. This date is important for two reasons: 1) we HAVE to draw as well as we did last time, and 2) it's the first week of school for OSU. How might those two things be related, you ask?

We've (using our one remaining OSU student) created a student group for local musicians to network and promote shows. We will be setting up shop on the Oval on September 18th as all of the incoming freshmen get oriented to the student groups available to them. The Newport is basically across High Stree from the Oval. We will be playing the Newport the Friday after this HUGE opportunity to network ourselves to a huge class of people looking for something to do, many of them potentially musicians looking to get into the local scene.

Between this and finishing our album sometime in the next six weeks, this is probably our best shot at growing our fan-base exponentially, and taking this little act somewhere.

Also, in the coming months, we're looking to take our show on the road, now that we've essentially played every place there is to play in C-bus. Athens, Dayton, hopefully Cleveland and Bowling Green (up in Steve's neck of the woods).

So, the Autumn-That-Is-Spring of House of Cards is coming upon us. It begins this Saturday night with a show at the Scarlet and Grey Cafe down on campus with Deco Halo. Come share the music.
