Greetings
Action fans! We've got word that our latest studio effort will
arrive in the mail sometime this week which means we'll have them
available for you at the New Belmont show. We can't wait for you
t o hear it! We spent many months getting this together in our
own studio, Thinman Studios, and with the help of our good friend
Jarrett Pritchard we've produced something that you'll be proud to
own. The cost for these CD's will be only $5 so don't
delay!
There are a couple of great shows lined up for September, the first being at The New Belmont with The New Kent Killers, should be a great evening. The second being the Virginia Music Fest and Art Expo in Richmond, VA. Check out the website here, http://www.vamusicfest.com. There will be tons of great music and art to enjoy so head on down the road! July 29, 2004
ACTION
HABIT next weekend at the Tap House in Ghent! We're looking
forward to seeing the opening band, Federali, as I've heard many good
things about them. You can visit their website at www.holycowboyrecords.com
and complain about the fact that they don't have an Action Habit link
on their links page. And come check them out live with us,
Saturday, August 7th.
Our new 5-song EP is
getting pressed! We hope to have it in our hands in time for the
August 7 show, so scrape together your spare change and bring an extra
$10.00 to the show just in case. T-shirts will also be
available!
Dave V went off on a
fabulous island vacation to the Virgin Islands, leaving the rest of us
to muddle through without him for a week. The
rest of us were consumed with jealousy until he came back and gave us
all bottles of rum. Really good rum too, mango-flavored,
pineapple-flavored, coconut-flavored...
May 2004 That's
this Saturday at the NorVa (www.thenorva.com)
with the Von Bondies (www.vonbondies.com).
Only $10.00 in advance and $12.50 day of show. Doors
open at 7 and we'll go on early, so plan to get there by 7:30.
Also,
pick up a copy of Splash, the local New
T-shirts are here and will be for sale at our live shows.
We decided to change the design a bit and go with classic
simplicity: black t-shirts
with a white logo - absolutely perfect, smugly understated and timeless
style for every day of your life. Available
in both regular tees and girl tees. The May 8 show at the New Belmont was great, Rip Dizzy was great as always, and we greatly look forward to playing there again. Thanks to all who came to the show, we hope to see you all at the NorVa this Saturday!
April 2004 February's last minute show at VA Beach Seafood, Inc. was awesome - enthusiastic crowd, good beer, great time overall. WE look forward to playing there again. Thanks to Sean (sp) Bolling for the great sound and Shahana for manning our mailing list. (If you haven't already, make sure you sign the mailing list at the next show, or sign up through this website here. But the February show was just a dress rehearsal - don't miss Action Habits much anticipated (at least by us) return to the stage - ACTION HABIT live at the New Belmont Saturday, May 8th with RIP DIZZY!! The New Belmont, located in Ghent (623-4477), is an absolutely beautiful restaurant and bar, and a great place to see a show. If you haven't caught Rip Dizzy before, this is the perfect opportunity: two great bands at a great venue. Be sure to check the calendar page for more dates throughout the summer. Look for our latest recording to be available at shows soon.
February 2004 Other news - though we may seem a little quiet lately, we've been keeping busy writing new songs and recording. We even managed to squeeze in a photo shoot - thanks to gifted photographer Sophy Ivy, the pictures came out great. Look for new photos here soon! Dave V has a new bass pre-amp, thus far he's very pleased with the first trial run, (thanks to Walter Wright and Alpha Music for technical support). Anthony's been making surprise appearances at Jim Hazel's (aka the genius behind the The Factory Playboys) open mic nights held every Thursday at the New Belmont. Go out there some Thursday evening, you never know when you might catch Anthony teaming up with Dave Almeleh (of Quang T, The Factory Playboys and others) for a Who or a Rolling Stones anthology. That's all for now, but remember: don't miss us Monday night for this last minute show! Should be a fun one. And keep checking the site for new pics coming soon...
December 2003 October 2003 August 2003 The Taphouse show was great! Kudos to our new guitarist, Gina Dalmas, for her excellent performance. Her first show with the band was truly a baptism by fire! Our next show is Saturday August 16th at Coyote West in downtown Norfolk, don't miss this one...our soundman is costing a mint so it's bound to sound really really good. At least it better for the price. I'm still working on the guest book, don't know what the hell is wrong with it as my HTML skills are not the great, but it seems to me it's a server side issue. Could be wrong, often am.
May 2003
February 2003 Check our calendar for upcoming shows, we've got a few coming up at various places around the Hampton Roads area during the months of March and April. Things are progressing rather nicely at the studio, we've got 17 songs down in bare-bones form (just drums and some guitar) and are planning to record at least 5 more. After we're satisfied with the drums we'll move on to other tracking such as guitar, bass, vocals and anything else we decide to add to the album. We're taking our time on this one and hope to put out a killer cd so get ready! Watch for sneak previews you can download coming soon to this website.

April 19th, 2002. "I learned a few
lessons that weekend: first, when you're thrown to the wolves, grab the
biggest one of the pack, and whoop his ass from the git-go. Jump
in and make mistakes and have a good time. It's the best way to
learn, arguably, but a hell of a lot more fun than sitting in a
classroom. Teachers and classrooms don't teach you about
performance; performing does. Music is about fun and expression,
whether pleasure or pain. (Taken from the April
17th, 2002 issue #88 of Ninevolt Magazine) March 25th, 2002. We now have new regular
T-shirts and Baby Doll T's available! Look for new pictures to be
posted soon. Instead of the Royal Blue color on the regular T's,
we decided to go with a darker color this time. Be sure to get one
for yourself! We have applied for the CMJ Music Marathon 2002
Showcase this year and are hoping to get some play time up in New York
at the end of October. CMJ Music Marathon will take place October
30 - November 2, at the Hilton New York in the heart of New York City. Click
