Brandon Dooley and the Love Affair Allstars

   Finalizing the lineup for the Love Affair Super show and we think you're gonna love. But part of the problem of having so many bands on a bill is set changes and avoiding scaring the shit out of the soundman. So we had to get a little creative. What do you do when you have too many bands to fit on a bill? The answer: Start another band?! Well..sorta.
   Introducing the Brandon Dooley Love Affair Allstars. Or maybe Brandon Dooley AND the Love Affair Allstars? Maybe some cool hybrid name we've not yet thought of? It's all still kind of up for debate. But one thing that we totally love in this whole doohicky is that SECRETLY it's 3 bands worth of material being played. When you see this act billed anywhere, know that you'll be getting quality renditions of Skydiver songs, Iron Eyes/Nail In The Brain songs, and Family Robot Seizure Show songs. Plus there's always some surprises in the mix. Between the lot of us, there's a lot of bands in here. And between those lotta bands, there's a LOT of songs. WE get to play them for you, YOU don't probably give a shit about it - SO EVERYBODY WINS!

So just wanted to drop that on you, like it's hot.

Play on, playaz.

The Tards In Charge.

Dang. That There's A Lot Of Shows On Your Website, Paw!

   Ok, look - booking shows is hard when everyone in your label is in like 8 bands. Not to mention, a couple cover bands between the lot of us. That said, there's some good news in it all. You could go see one of your pals in some musical endeavor damn near EVERY weekend. The bad news is that before any of us can book anything, chances are pretty good they're gonna have to consult everybody else. So we figured why not kill a couple birds with one stone and use this as a booking database of sorts. So now, click on the SHOWS tab (or maybe we call it TOUR, I don't remember - one or the other) and check out who's playing where.
   There's two bands on there you might not recognize. Trainwreck is a cover project located in the Maurepas/Gonzales/St Amant/Sorrento area that features our very own Jason Choctaw Hall on vocals and guitar. Top Shelf is also a top 40 cover project featuring Mike Terito, Adam King, and Glenn Harris. Go get drunk and watch them both make awesome rock sounds. You'll be glad you did.

Love always,
The Love Affair Squadron
