39 Summers Ass-kicking Gigs Uncategorized

GIG: SAT June 29th 6PM – 8PM – Penn’s Place, New Castle, DE

And here it is: our SECOND gig of the day. But first, a question:

What will you need after walking around in the summer sun and eating ice cream all day?

You’ll need COFFEE.

This here’s the most ROCKING coffee mug we could find. In fact, this might be more rock than we can handle during our 8am coffee.

Well, we certainly know we’ll be needing it. That’s why after we eat our weight in gelato and Fat Rick’s BBQ, we’re heading over to Penn’s Place in Historic New Castle, DE for a TWO HOUR SET. That’s right – spend two hours with us at a great venue!

About that venue: Penn’s Place (that link goes to their Facebook page) is a great coffee house and gathering place with wonderful coffee, food, and WiFi. And starting this month, the good people of Gable Music Ventures have been booking FREE ENTERTAINMENT! Already, this month has seen the likes of Todd Chappelle, Beth Goldwater, and Fearless Improv, among other great acts.

And on Saturday, June 29th at 6:00pm: it’s our turn.

Here’s a pic of some of the goodies and patrons at Penn’s Place. And by “goodies and patrons,” we mean Ben Freakin’ Franklin.

So come on over to Historic New Castle and soak up some history (along with coffee and noms) with some Hot Breakfast!

DEETS!
WHAT: Hot Breakfast! at Penn’s Place in New Castle, Delaware
WHERE: Penn’s Place, 206 Delaware Street, New Castle, DE (link goes to Google Maps/Directions)
COST: Free, but you will want food and coffee. Trust us.
FOOD: Look at that pic! Noms & coffee goodness await you!
PARKING: There will be street parking.
IN FACT: Historic New Castle is lovely on a nice summer night. Plan on taking a walk before or after the show.
HEY, CAN I BUY A COPY OF 39 SUMMERS THERE? Why, yes. Yes, you can.

There you go, Comrades of Rock. That’s how we do it.

Two gigs.

One day.

LOTS AND LOTS OF REALLY GOOD FOOD.

Stick with us, kid…and you’ll never! Be hungry! AGAIN!


Okay, that was an awkward Gone With the Wind reference.
But in our book, Johansson ain’t got nothin’ on O’Hara

Love,
Matt (The Suburban Legend)

P.S. Since I used their image, it seems only fair to provide a link to Creative Imports, who makes that coffee mug. But please note this is not an endorsement: we know nothing about the good people of Creative Imports. And honestly, do you really need another coffee mug? You’ve got too many as it is! (But yeah…it’s pretty cool.)

GIG: SAT June 29th 1PM – Rockwood Ice Cream Festival

This is the rockingest image we could find of ice cream. Is it us, or does the one on the right look like Marge Simpson?

They say you slow down as you get old, but not us. We’re the kind of band that plays TWO GIGS IN ONE DAY. Yep, you read that right…we’re the rough, hard-edged rockers who can bring two giant slabs of tasty rocking within one 8-hour period. THAT IS SERIOUSLY HARDCORE1.

It’s 2013, and they figure this is the year to have a final creamy hurrah before the world ends, since it didn’t end in 2012. And thanks again to the spiffy people at Gable Music Ventures, there will be a bunch of great live bands playing all day on the various stages peppered throughout the event, and we’re stoked be playing for you on the main stage, which is right by the mansion. you can’t miss it!

I’m also excited to be stuffing my face full of gelato (and Lactaid pills) because WOOOOT I love that stuff.

DEETS:
WHEN: We play on Saturday, June 29th from 1:00 – 1:50pm.
WHERE: Old Fashioned Ice Cream Festival at Rockwood Park.
Details about COVER, PARKING, and FOOD can be found on the event’s website, which is here: The Old Fashioned Ice Cream Festival

If you’re the kind of person who likes Facebook, here’s a link to the Facebook event for the entire Ice Cream Festival itself.

Don’t forget that you can’t park on site, so you’ll have to park at a remote location and take a shuttle. This takes time, so if you’re wanting to see our show, make sure you leave enough time. (Yes, Mom.)

And also don’t forget: It’s BYOB: Bring Your Own Blanket! Otherwise you might get dirt or ants on your butt. (Nobody wants an ant-butt.)

See you there!

Your pal,

Ji11

1 Of course, in the true hardcore fashion, we’ll be napping in between shows.

GIG: Bellefonte Cafe, Wilmington, Friday, June 21, 7:00 PM

Hot Breakfast! at Bellefonte Cafe (photo by Joe del Tufo)

WE ARE ROCK STARS AND ROCK STARS LIKE TO POINT. (Photo © 2011 Joe Del Tufo.)

Your friends Hot Breakfast! love a good tradition.

Fireworks on the Fourth of July – now there’s a great tradition. Who doesn’t love to watch things explode in the sky? We also love giving & getting presents in December, flipping Jill’s Extraordinary Chickens calendar at the start of each month, and splashing naked in a creek while singing Billy Joel’s “No Man’s Land” every Thursday morning at 2am1.

And we’re prepared to announce a new tradition: a Hot Breakfast! concert at Bellefonte Cafe on the solstice.

That’s right – on Friday, June 21, we’ll play our third straight solstice concert at the awesome Bellefonte Cafe. We never get tired of playing at this wonderful venue – owner & chef Donna Rego is an excellent cook and a gracious host, and the vibe is funky and laid-back. They’ve got a full bar and everything is lovingly homemade. Plus, as we learned this New Year’s Eve, she’s one hell of a DJ. Just remember that she’s the only chef: this isn’t a fast-food joint. But everything is worth the wait, believe us.

Oh, and devil horns. ROCK STARS DO DEVIL HORNS BECAUSE ROCK.
OH, AND DEVIL HORNS. ROCK STARS ALSO DO DEVIL HORNS BECAUSE ROCK.

It’s the longest day of the year, and we’ll be there, rocking out all…freaking…night (or until 9:15 or so, when they kick us out). Remember, the Winter Solstice was December 21, 2012 – it was supposed to be the end of the world, but the earth somehow didn’t implode2. Was the Hot Breakfast! show at Bellefonte the key to survival? Experts can only speculate, but the answer is undoubtedly yes. So just IMAGINE what might happen on the Summer Solstice!

There’s only one way to find out: join us for the Hot Breakfast! solstice concert at Bellefonte Cafe (link goes to Google Maps), Friday, June 21, 7:00. The show is free – our summer gift to you! (However, there are tip jars, if you’d like to give us a gift in return.) See ya there.

Here’s a link to the event on Facebook, if that’s your thing: Woot! Facebook!

DEETS:
Who: Hot Breakfast!
When: June 21, 2013. 7:00 – 9:15ish, give or take
What: Our annual solstice concert!
Where: Bellefonte Cafe: 804 Brandywine Blvd, Wilmington DE 19809 (in the Bellefonte neighborhood)
Cover: None! It’s free! However, the band gets paid only via tips, so… take that as a hint. 🙂 Also, please buy food and drinks and show your servers the love.
Parking: Street only, but it’s easy!

Remember: when you think “longest day of the year” you think Hot Breakfast!

See you there!

Your pals,

Suburban Legend and Ji11
