So, it's been a while since I last blogged. But in my defense - I use this space as a place for me to keep a journal of my musical life, which recently has been on the down-low. We are however, and by we I mean Nerd Parade, about to kick things back into high gear.

The last month was expected to be a slower one for us. Several band members did a little travelling and vacationing, some new progress was made on the 2nd NP album - still due out sometime this summer, and we all had a chance to recharge our collective batteries. We will now gear up for a nice string of live performances that is shaping up to be pretty exciting. Here's everything that I know so far. If I find out anything else - you will be the first to know =)


Saturday June 7th - Athens GA @ Tasty World
(np makes its long awaited Athens debut on a Saturday night in one of the city's finest music rooms - all with the proceeds going to the Athens Canine Rescue - pretty awesome!!)

Wednesday June 18th - Atlanta GA @ Star Bar
(our second visit to the Star Bar finds us playing with our old pals Cinetrope - always fun.)

Saturday June 28th - Atlanta GA @ Lenny's Bar - CORNDOGORAMA
(we make our first appearance at one of Atlanta's signature music festivals - we will playing Saturday afternoon at 4pm.)

Friday July 4th - Duluth GA @ Sweetwater Live
(come celebrate America's birthday at this special 4th of July show - all profits are being donated to Gwinnett County's own Companion Animal Rescue League)

Thursday July 11th - Atlanta GA @ Vinyl
(the first time we played here it was awesome - we can't wait to return. we are playing with "Calamity Magnet" featuring singer / songwriter Sara Radle from the band "The Rentals".)

Friday July 18th - Atlanta GA @ The Five Spot
(we return to what is quickly become one of NP's homes in Atlanta for our first weekend headline show. Expect to hear a longer set =) Also appearing are The Hellblinki Sextet (Asheville) & one other band TBA.)
