The Kootz News 7/01/08; "Apple Pie, Hot Dogs & The 'KOOT' Next-Door"!
All Rise... for the playing of our National-Anthem!
Fortuitously, this is one week where you won't have to 'grimace' through a 'Kootz-attempted version' of Francis Scott Key's musical-masterpiece for the ages! We DO know 'when to say when'! Besides, we'll take the stirring, "Stars & Stripes-inspired" Robert Merrill-rendition anytime, when it comes to 'crooning the Banner'! We shall, however, be MORE than happy to have you come and 'hang' with us at a Holiday-Week show, as we 'wax-patriotic' doing what we (try to) do best... Classic Rockin' & Rollin'!!!
The Kootz 'honor-roll' is LARGE from the week-past... so we'll run down our THANKS-list in chronological-order... Big "Koot-o"s to EVERYONE who 'showed-some-love' to the band this past-week as we closed-out our Spring-'residency' at Houlihans 'Tuesday-Night Music Club' in Fairfield... (we'll return in September!)... The rockin' die-hards at Hidden Valley's 'Hickory Sticks' Bar and Grill on Wednesday-evening... the WILDLY successful 'double-debut' on Thursday... by day, at The Downtown District/Newark Farmers Market... and by night (OK, evening!) it was the grand-debut of the Little Falls 'Alliance for a Better Community' concert-series, with The Kootz providing the 'kickoff'-show at Memorial Park... a picture-perfect night of "tunes under the stars" in Little Falls!
(Err.. pause here, to catch a deep, cleansing-breath!)...
We 'doubled-up' again on Friday, with 'dual-shows'; at The Bamboo Grill in Basking Ridge... while being 'concurrent' at Cryan's Beef and Ale House in South Orange; BOTH terrific shows, where we had a chance to re-connect with old friends as well as introduce-ourselves to some new ones! A private graduation-party in Bergen County kept us busy on Saturday... at first, dodging-raindrops... and later, keeping all the dancing-'goils & guys' busy 'on-the-deck'! Thanks to all! We 'deuced'-it "one-mo'-time" on Sunday, as we performed our 2d-annual show at the "Allamuchy Poker and Bike Run"... and then headed for the 'Jersey Shore' and one ROCKIN' week-closing-finale at Buckalews Tavern on LBI!! Yah... I think that's all there was!
<<<< W H E W! >>>>
We're gettin'-ready to 'do it all again', this-week... so check out the schedule below... and ALWAYS refer-back to the 'Schedule'-tab on our website; www.thekootz.com as some of these 'weather-related' performances can possibly be updated as late as the 'day of show'! Thanks!
Hey, kids... check-out 'The Kootz' MySpace 'artist' page! It's got a tres-cool Kootz-photo-slide-show, with images from the early-OMJ-Band"-era, right-up thru Kootz-'08! All ya gotta-do is visit www.MySpace.com/thekootzband, where we are now "LIVE"! There are Kootz mp3-music-'clips', which are down-loadable for free... Historical (and hysterical!) band-pics... plus: the 'forever-weekly' 'Kootz-Blog'. Just 'click' and feel "Proud to be an American" AND a Kootz-Fan!!!
A big 'Hip-Hip-Hoo-ray' for our "official" Kootz-website... (you don't even have to march in the July 4th Parade!)... It's www.thekootz.com... where you'll find all of our show-dates for the upcoming "2008 Summer of Love Tour" as well as the full Kootz-song-list, plus... videos, pics and mp3s! We've got-yer band-trivia... and of course, the "Kootz Kompany Store", where ya can peruse our genuine 'All-American' Kootz-Merch'! Check it out!
