Final Round of Northwest Shows
September 12th, 2009
It is with a heavy heart that I regret to inform all of you that the Black Eyes & Neckties’ era is coming to an end. I’m a tad sentimental about this, being that they are the first band that I added to my Starbird roster, but all good things come to an end and all I can say is that I will miss them dearly.Together since 2002, they’ve built a far reaching fanbase who have been witness to one of the most amazing live shows around. Breaking of ankles, stripping of clothing, falling over of equipment, arms and legs flailing about - those were some things you could count on witnessing. In the time they’ve been together, they’ve lucky enough to play some great festivals such as Bumbershoot, Capitol Hill Block Party and Totalfest (2x), make a trip overseas to the UK and tour the US several times. It was a good run all in all.Last show ever will be on their home turf in Bellingham on Halloween night. They’ll have a few other goodbye shows around the NW too - here are the final shows:September 18th @ Roseland (Portland, as part of MFNW) w/ Monotonix and Bad BrainsSeptember 19th @ Neumo’s (Seattle) w/ Monotonix and Unnatural HelpersOctober 23rd @ University of Montana (Missoula) w/ BOAT + more
October 24th @ tbd (Walla Walla)October 30th @ WhaaM (Bellingham, all ages)October 31st @ The Nightlight (Bellingham)Don’t fret…..a few of the members already have new (or side that will now be their main) projects. Josh is continuing on with Dog Shredder , while Brad is finally able to focus on his badass twangy band Wooden Wings and Dave is hitting skins withGuinness & The Reparations .They have one last recording available that has a new track - its a split 12” with their friends The Russians. Available thru Krazy Keith Records - http://krazykeithrecords.com/ - local bellingham and Seattle stores, and from the band at shows. Limited run so snatch ‘em up.Thanks for all of your support!- written by Carly Henry - BENT us booking agent & friend -
