The Henry Clay People, Red Cortez, New Tour Dates Added..
Good morning,
It’s funny how traveling makes you see your home in a new way. We’ve been back from tour for two weeks and Los Angeles seems, well, rather sprawl-y. Big. Dusty. Bright. Something of an ethnic stew with all the signs in Thai, Korean, Armenian and Farsi. Most places are just very much themselves: one language, one culture, one type of footwear. This city is a bit of everywhere, a bit of everyone, a bit of everything. And a bit of nothing.
You probably know this.
Speaking of the road, for our North American tour we have asked along the Henry Clay People and Red Cortez, two bands from the neighborhood that we believe in, admire and want to hang out with. You will too.
If you’ve never seen the fistfight between Pavement and Bruce Springsteen that is the Henry Clay People, then you have denied yourself one of the best live experiences a person can see. Somewhere along the way, rock got lost. Or at least that’s the argument. And the Henry Clay People have found it again. Their show is a raucous, loud, irreverent and buzzy piece of performance art that reminds you why anyone ever picked up an axe, plugged it into an amp and turned it up to 11. Check out there myspace page:

and listen to “Working Part Time.” Come early to the show. Sing. Clap. Raise a fist and BELIEVE.
In our finer moments, we are all Henry Clay People.
Speaking of believing, Red Cortez embody the idea of music as salvation, the melancholy hopes of poets and troubadours poured out on the stage in a romantic melange of beats, beats and Spanish prose. You can visit their myspace page at:

You guys are some amazing! The fall show is 2 days after my 17th birthday and that is like, the GREATEST b-day gift EVER!!! Right on!
Please read this. You all need to come to the philly paul green school of rock and help teach kids about music by doing a workshop. The allstars are gonna be at summerfest (someone told me you were playing there) so if the actual band does read these please go to: http://www.schoolofrock.com/index.php
you can see how good they are.
The philly school is the original and the only one still controled by paul green, the guy that started it, so that is the best one to call and work with. PLEASE do this.
Their doing lollapalooza too. try to meet them
I love your music. Was thrilled to see you in Pomona, CA – loved every minute of your concert. I have never heard such passion and, in some cases, anguish, in anyone’s music…ever. Looking forward to what you have in store for us in December.
So happy you’re adding a Denver show! Just finally got to see you play the Avalon in LA – absolutely amazing. Can’t wait to see you again!
Getting to see you in Boulder AND Denver?! Maybe there is a god…
Incredible show at Triple Rock, Now we get to see you again at FineLine. With Henry Clay People again too no less. Very much looking forward to the night.
Saw you on Directv.
What an awesome band. I have been into rock since the 1950’s.
Your songs “Sometime Around Midnight” and “Innocence” are classics.
Keep your passion and originality.
All the best.
so, so glad to see the henry clay people touring with you again. saw them with you earlier this year at a show in columbus, ohio, and was blown away. glad you’re continuing to throw them your support.
Please, please, please play more dates in Florida!!! I haven’t been this excited about a new band since I discovered the Killers and Hot Fuss!!!!
I’m going to the Roseland Theatre Halloween show! Buying tickets today, I’m SO excited! It’s my first TATE concert.
