Soberano Live at Bowery Electric

Last Tuesday, we played Bowery Electric for the CitizenMusic & Blackbook CMJ Showcase; it was a blast. Our friends Penrose and Toy Soldiers from Philly were among the awesome bands of the night. The Shake's set was adrenaline. Plus, we melted some faces. Fun fucking time.

Here's a video of Soberano. I recommend you maximize the video; it will maximize your enjoyment.

New Madrid Updates

Saludos a todos, It's been a very busy two weeks since our last update, so here's a couple of news items to keep you in the loop.

On Saturday, August 20th, we played a little-too-late benefit for the West Memphis Three at Fontanas. I say a little too late because they were released on the 19th of August, one day before we could lend our Spanglish songs to help out. The gig itself was awesome; we finally got to hang out with and listen to our friends The Barrens while drinking beer, tequila and whisky. New Madrid took the stage at 10pm, and everyone bumped and grinded till we were done. At one point, beauties Pepper and Paige climbed onto the stage to dance La Araña!

Onto another subject, New Madrid will soon begin a Kickstarter Campaign to collect funds to record a new EP. We will have surprises and prizes for those of you who generously give to the cause. More news as they develop.

Finally, this Friday, September 9th, we're playing Citizenmusic's C-Fest 2011, a three night event featuring the best bands New York City has to offer. It starts this Friday at Pianos on the LES, where New Madrid will take the stage at 10pm.

And that's it for our update. Don't forget New Madrid plays at Pianos this Friday, September 9th at 10pm. Go to the facebook invite.
