Fifth Annual Solstice

Well in spite of all you’ve gained, you still have to stand out in the pouring rain….”

As Dan sang these words to Sugaree we all smiled slyly during this year’s slushy Solstice fete at Johnny Roberts' farm. THEY KNOW was the first band in the line-up after the rousing National Anthem and magnificent bagpipers. Despite the biblical rains the turnout was impressive. A killer sound system and crackerjack soundmen made for a crispy mix amidst the thunderous downpours and mists under the tent. Thanks guys. The drama of the Big Weather only seemed to fuel the sound. I did lots of one – handed key moves, using the other to towel off the drips !

Also a word of thanks to Chris Richards who jumped in on drums at the eleventh hour when our drummer Young Dave had family commitments to attend to. It was a pleasure to work with a real pro – nice job!

No recordings of this one but we really fell into a groove and there were some fairly deep musical jams and lots of bouncing bodies looking on – thanks to all who braved the weather especially to my old pals Joe McGrogan and Mitch Sharp who came early and stayed for the duration of our set. Check out their local band RELYKS at http://users.zoominternet.net/~relyksrock/news_2.html and catch them live sometime soon as well.

More gigs on the way with parties in Southeast PA ( friends & family welcome- e-mail for details) over the next few weeks then back up here to NEPA ( actually right across the river in Sussex County NJ) for Ricky Boscarino’s Luna Parc Festival in August. Hope to see you all out at one or more of these venues!

MILFORD MUSIC FESTIVAL

Just had to say a few words of thanks after a terrific gig during this past weekend's Music Festival. The festival was amazing and as a band we are truly grateful to have been a part of things. Altec Lansing and all the other local sponsors and volunteers did a beautiful job.

THEY KNOW rocked Seventh Street Coffee and once again our hosts Craig, Dave & Mike did all they could to make it a seamless gig for us. You guys are the best! I was also humbled by all the folks that showed up to hear us - some really loyal fans and great friends and family all the way around. Nothing gets a band more heated up than a packed house. I think we kept you movin' - :) ! Keep watching the site for gig updates as we are sure to be back up here in Pike County again soon.

Next gig is in 2 weeks back down "south" in Chester County. We'll be playing at the 4th Annual Solstice Festival in Downingtown. If anyone needs directions or information e-mail us and we'll get it back to you. There are also a few summer dates left if anyone is interested in booking THEY KNOW. We're up for almost anything! Feel free to e-mail any comments, or requests to the site.

peace & aloha
