The big one is tonight, and I'll admit this one's a bit of shamelss self promotion... cause I get to see my work plastered all over town on the posters I designed.
Tonight 11pm-2am at the <a href="http://www.highergroundmusic.com" target="_blank">Higher Ground</a> Main Ballroom.
I know there aren't too many Slip-sters left in Burlington, but if any of you
are in town and go to O.A.R. instead, I will personally kick your butt.
(No offense to any O.A.R. fans out there, but support local music!)
Japhy is also in the running for a battle of the bands at Higher Ground, voting is at uvmrocks.com. Japhy hasn't come up for voting yet, but check out the site to see other Burlington bands too.
Outside VT:
02/17 Cyber Cafe West, Binghamton NY
02/18 Jimmy Mac's, Rochester NY
04/13 Kenny's Castaway New York, NY
More dates possibly added in Syracuse, Boston among other places this spring. Check http://www.japhyryder.com/tourdates.htm or http://www.myspace.com/japhyrydervt for more.
Oh yeah, and I can't forget Mardi Gras in Burlington 02/25. Parade and other events sponsored by Magic Hat. It's pretty much one large party in downtown Burlington with lots of public drunkeness. Good times.
Japhy plays at Nectars in the afternoon before and after the parade, tentatively between noon-4pm, details to come.
And should The Slip get out early (or start late) on 03/02 they'll be playing all night in nearby Winooski.
