First Show

We played our first 2 shows ever as The Livin's Easy last week on Jan. 9th and 11th. The following link is a video from the one at the Fire Escape in Citrus Heights, CA on the 11th. The quality isn't great, but you get the idea. As for the tour, we're still booking it. A lot of venues book a month or 2 in advance, so it's likely that by mid to late Feb. we'll be traveling, playing 3-5 shows within a few hundred miles of each other, then coming home for a few days - not exactly a full-on "tour", but we have to build up to that.

The New Plan

So our plans to tour with the LBC fell through for reasons I won't disclose at this time. After exploring our options we decided that we're still as road-ready as we'll ever be, and are going to tour ourselves as Arden Park Roots and as our own Sublime tribute band, The Livin's Easy. We're currently in the process of learning the entire setlist, putting together our marketing tools (videos, press kits, etc.), and working with an individual (who may take a permanent position as our manager/sound engineer) to start booking shows. At this point it, we're hoping to be out by mid-late February.
