We're in the lab working on the new cd. Not booking anything until we're done. If it kills us. We have 10 people short attention spans here. Drastic measures. See y'all when we see y'all!

Email us for $8 presale tickets! This is going to be nuts.

Come on out and see a couple of Rochester's original bands. Ian Downey is Famous puts on a fantastically raucous show--it's going to be a great evening.

This Saturday we'll be having our annual Halloween performance at Marshall St. Bar & Grill (81 Marshall St. in Rochester, right around the corner from the Bug Jar...where Damien's used to be...http://www.marshallstreetbarandgrill.com/), 9pm, for a paltry $3 cover! Should be a good time. We'll be giving out prizes for best costumes, so come ready.

Outside of a small Abilene show slated for December and a quick jaunt to Albany, this will be your last chance to see the LQ before spring. We're going to put our heads down and get this new CD done. Hope to have something for you around March, 2012.

We want to thank John of the Clockmen and everyone who made the Our Band Could Be Your Life tribute show so fantastic. That was a truly insane evening.

And thanks to everyone who's supported all the shows over the course of this busy summer/fall in Rochester, Poyntelle, Ithaca (esp. the folks from Last Exit for the Lost), Hartford, and NYC. We've had a great time and now we're exhausted.

Join us for this year's Meeting of the Minds festival in Poyntelle, PA! Last year's was a goddamn hootnanny and a half, no shit. 

Lots of great bands, beautiful land, camping, nice vibe--no sketch factor, which is important for those of us who don't do this kind of thing much.

And we have discounted tickets for only $50! Email us at info@thelobsterquadrille.com if you're interested. Chickenoot:

EPIC WIN, as these damn kids are saying these damn days. The Vacant Lots are a really fantastic sort of psychedelic outfit from Burlington, VT that critics are shitting a big tomato about right now (http://www.myspace.com/thevacantlots), and INN (Celebration of Man) is a really fantastic sort of psychedelic outfit from right here (http://www.myspace.com/thecelebrationofman). Why are we on this bill? Who knows! But it's going to be a great show with three great bands, so come on out and let's put some sugar in each other's bowls.

Check out this awesome flyer. I'm going to find out who did it and give him proper credit. I think his name might be MIke. I love this.

That would be us, gentle reader, coming your way SOON, provided you live in or around Ithaca, NYC, or Hartford, CT. We have an absurd caravan of people (17 or so at last count) heading this Thursday to Delilah's on Cayuga in Ithaca, where we will be playing for TWO FUCKING HOURS (count them!), starting at 10pm. We don't normally play for two hours. So it should be interesting toward the end. Now we've got two hours of material. Hell, we've got a good deal MORE than two hours of material. But we don't usually DO TWO HOURS OF MATERIAL. So this should be a good deal of fun. And everybody should be good and shithoused by midnight. Why wait for Friday? Start your weekend hangover early!

The plague of locusts descends the very next day on Fontana's Bar in NYC for an 830pm show. After us will be two bands (the Ricecookers and Watermelon) we don't know and that don't know us. And presumably they don't know each other either. This is the way they do things in Fontana country. Apparently they ask you at the door which band you're there to see. We trust you to do the right thing. To be safe, please just start saying "The Lobster Quadrille" aloud, over and over, from about a block away, and then continue until we're done playing. We really appreciate your help with this. If your teeth are brushed, we'll kiss your mouth.

Onward on Saturday to B.O.M.B. Fest in Hartford! We'll be going on at 5pm on Saturday. Lots of other great acts, and some you might find interesting. Also lots of people you may have not heard of. Anyway, Snoop Dogg, Weezer, P-Funk, RJD2, Coheed and Cambria, New Pornographers, Man Man, Wiz Khalifa (recently pegged by Ghostface as one of the top 10 softest rappers in the game!), and many more!

We'll be back in Rochester next week for a show at Abilene with up-and-coming prog daddies The Movie. We're only doing a handful of Rochester shows this year, so it should be a good one to catch.

Hope to see you soon! 

Found out recently we'll be on the bill again for Meeting of the Minds IV this year! Best time we had all last summer. Pretty cheap for a festival, and well worth it. It's on beautiful land with a big lake, the entertainment was high quality last year, and the crowd was really great--nice people, kept things clean, very nice environment. It's going to be a hoot.
