Cold Front

I am not a morning person. I am also not a winter person. And sometimes at this time of year when the weather starts changing and I swear I can already see winter mocking me from around the corner, I get a little grumpy. But not this year. There's simply too much exciting stuff to look forward to in the coming months. Suffice it to say, there's a cold front moving in today... and it feels good!

We have several new songs that we will be debuting at our upcoming shows as soon as the lovely Miss Courtney King returns from her almost month-long trip abroad. We also hope to record them soon and post some of them on our MySpace page. Stay tuned...

We have a great show lined up to celebrate Courtney's return stateside. We'll be opening for Cordero, former Daemon Records labelmates of Courtney's and mine from our Moto-Litas days. We're so excited to see that they've been enjoying great success on their current US tour and can't wait to join them onstage at the EARL on October 9th.

We are also VERY excited to announce that we'll be opening for Amy Ray herself for the only hometown date on her fall solo tour! Amy's new album, Didn't It Feel Kinder, is an incredible collection of songs and you will not want to miss the live show. We'll have more details closer to the show, but please mark your calendars for Saturday, November 22nd at the Variety Playhouse. Advance tickets are on sale now!

More fall show dates will be added to the list soon, but I thought I would give you a taste of some of the highlights of fall for The Holland Dutch. And for all of my fellow non-winter-people out there, cheer up -- this cold front is bringing us some much needed rock!

Best,
Erin
