11/12/07 - Radio silence... It's been kind of quiet around here, mostly due to computer problems. Currently making a few adjustments to ensure that it doesn't happen again. A couple new shows up on the Shows Page, including one that stretches our schedule out into the New Year. Also, if you haven't gotten your FREE "Rat Pak Unleashed 3" CD, all we've got to say is, "What the hell are you waiting for???" You get some new, previously unreleased material from Q, along with a ton of material from some of the nation's top independant and national artists. -and it's all for FREE (did I mention it was free?) All you have to do is point your browser over to www.unleashed3.com, which will give you, oh, I don't know, about a hundred different ways to get a copy for your very own. Now, get a move on! |

08/06/07 - A *lot* of Updates and a show cancellation So, the summer chugs along at full throttle Unfortunately, the August 11th show at Auburn Pitts will not be happening in any sense, due to the promoter deciding not to hold the show. While it is regrettable, we choose not to dwell on things that are not happening; rather, we look forward to things that are happening (in other words, there's a TON of shit for you to know): First off, let us call your attention to Joe O'Brien and the Rat Pak Records crew, who I'm sure you've heard us mention at one time or another, but, honestly, I don't think most people understand the volume of time and work that they put into their bands. Like what, you say? Well for starters, for you iPod freaks, he's got us up in iTunes. And, if you're not one of the Mac-loyal masses, you can always get our tracks on Rhapsody. And, if you want to check them out before you buy them (and catch a music and interviews by a ton of other independant and heavyweight metal artists, the man himself, Joe hosts The Big Rock Show every Tuesday from 10AM to Noon, EST. So, here's to, RPR: thanks, and keep on kicking ass! Also- you didn't think we'd let you get away without letting you know about our next show, did you? The beginning of September will see us in Chicopee, Massachusetts, while the end of September will have us in Pawtucket, Rhode Island, and beginning of October will have us back in Chicopee again. The shows page has all the details! Also, more details on Q's long-awaited follow up to their widely-acclaimed debut CD - it will be coming SOON! "How soon?", you ask? Think "August" soon! Be sure to check back here soon as more details become available! |
06/19/07 - Updates and a show cancellation Hey Q fans and Jager addicts! We hope this message finds you ready for summer and ready for Q, because both are ready to bust out all over the Northeast! Unfortunately, though, we do regret to say that, due to the club closing, Q will not be playing at Pub 30 Something in Tyngsboro on August 17th. We sincerely thank those who attended the shows we played there over the past several months, and hope to see you all at other Q shows that will be happening in that area. As for this weekend, Q will be hitting Maximum Capacity on Memorial Drive in Chicopee, MA for a rare hometown appearance with Negative Creep and In Dreams We Die. The Jager will be flowing more than usual, thanks to Max Cap's $2 Jager Shooter deal they'll be having all night! |
05/05/07 - A few notes and a show cancellation Thanks to all who came out for Rat Pak's Cinco de Mayo bash! Granted, Jagermeister may not be the most South-of-the-borderish liquor of choice, but, hell, by the fifth or sixth shot of the night, I really didn't notice! Be sure to come out tomorrow (Sunday, the 6th) to hang with us at Pub 30-Something in Tyngsboro, MA for an all-day fest (Q will be going on *extra* early (think "2PM early"), so you can get your drink and music on in the afternoon, and prepare for getting your drink and music on for the evening. And, in other, regrettable news, due to changes in ownership (and all the details that come with changes in ownership), there will be no show at The Steppin' Out Lounge in Manchester, NH on May 20th. It's unfortunate, but, hopefully we'll be able to return there, once the buying process is completed. Thanks, as always, and we'll see you up in Tyngsboro! |

News update -1/30/07 - Without internet access, but definltely not idle! So, Happy New Year, y'all! Sorry about the silence from the Q camp, but, when the webmaster moves, and goes through hell trying to get his internet connection set up (You suck, Verizon!), that can happen. |
