Here is a radio advertisement for our upcoming show in Bemidji at Lazy Jack's this weekend. It's always funny hearing your name in that announcer guy's voice!

So, as posted earlier, on Saturday June 26th in the beautiful northwoods of Minnesota in a little town called Bemidji, we'll be playing a bar known as Lazy Jack's. We've got some wives and family members that will be once again walking 60 miles in August in the Breast Cancer 3-Day Walk to benefit Susan G. Komen for the Cure. We played here last year and it turned out great, so you don't want to miss it this time around! 

We attempted to get the band back together and bring our original bass player, Jason, back into the fold but unfortunately we just couldn't work it out due to a bunch of scheduling challenges. So, we'll instead have a guy by the name of Dan Perusse playing bass with us. He's a great guy, a pretty damn good player and he likes to drink beer - so he meets all the pre-requisites!

If you are coming, here is a post from last year about places to stay.  And there are really a lot more places, but better call soon to get your spot reserved!

If you can't make it, please consider donating some money anyways! They need all the support you can affort to provide - even if it's just a little - every little bit counts. 

We hope to see you there!

So we're on a mission from God and we're getting the band back together!

• The mission is once again raising money for breast cancer. 
• The band, of course, is The Deadwoods and will include our original bass player Jason Alexander!
• The location is Lazy Jack's in Bemidji, MN.
• The time is Saturday June 26th, 2010! 

We need your support and the crazy women that we know who are walking 60 miles in 3 days need your cash money! So come out and enjoy a crazy good time while helping a crazy good cause

Do it.

We'll post more details soon, but just wanted to get this out there so you all can mark the weekend on your calendars and get ready to go north!

If you can't make it, please consider donating some money anyways!

It's coming, our second and final Saving Second Base show of the year. That's right, it's right around the corner. We gave you plenty of warning so I hope you cleared your calendar because we're going to blow the roof off the Finish Line in Princeton on Saturday August 15th. How's that for a sales pitch? Sorry, I can't do the monster truck announcer voice via blog post.

Our last show was a huge success. In addition, The Deadwoods managed to learn and play a bunch of new cover tunes along with a pile of classics, we threw in a sprinkling of Deadwoods tunes and even managed to pull a handful of songs out of our ass on the night of the show and we discovered that makes a pretty damn good recipe! So, we're going to mix it all up and bring it all back again.

We do these shows because as I pointed out in our last post about boobs, my wife, my sister and my sister-in-law will be walking 60 miles in August in the Breast Cancer 3-Day Walk to benefit Susan G. Komen for the Cure. And as part of this, they each must raise large amounts of cash to help research breast cancer treatments. Crazy? Yes. But that's why we love them... and support them... and their boobs! So come out and support a very good cause and enjoy a very good time! 

Anyways, here are the details:

The Deadwoods
Saturday, August 15th @ 8pm till close
$10 cover (all proceeds go to the cause)

The Finish Line
31924 125th street
Princeton, MN 55371
(763) 631-2233

So, our first Save Second Base show of the summer is in the books. This turned out to be one hell of a good show and an equally good time. We had lots of our up north friends and family come out as well as a few hardcore friends from the cities drive all the way up (Elvis never leaves this building!).

Playing cover tunes can be a lot of fun when you get it done right and it was fun since there was a fair amount of new stuff that we pulled out this time around. Even played a handful of tunes that night that we've never played, ever, and they didn't even suck! That's saying something, not sure what, but something. There was also a very good response to the Deadwoods original tunes we threw in there, so we're starting to feel pretty good about this whole Deadwoods thing.

Anywho, thanks to everybody who came out and pitched in. The event raised somewhere in the neighborhood of $2,000 which is more than what was expected and comes very close to closing the deal for my wife, her sister and the other 3-day walkers involved. Not that that will stop us, we're still on the hook for the show in Princeton on August 15th. Keep that date open, you don't want to miss this!

Also, we posted a few photos from the show up on the Deadwoods Facebook Fan page. Go check em out. Someday I'll figure out a better way to display pictures right here on our site, but for now we'll take advantage of Facebook.
