Had a GREAT time at Rams Head in Annapolis tonight. I just got home, and my brain is fried, but I wanted to let you know how much fun this gig was. :) We got a new song (!!!), a couple of great covers, and an accidentally semi-ambient (and really, really cool) version of "Submarines" plus some new stories from TMDR. And the Jazz Mafia Horns? They are rockin' cool. Super talented guys. And, UK folks - absolutely no promises, no guarantees - but Thomas asked the horns if they would be interested/able to join him for the UK tour. This is not a certainty, but a possibility. :) I took some really crappy non-flash photos (I can't even pass them off as "arty") and I find any that aren't blurry, I'll post them to my blog. What a great evening. Thomas was extremely gracious in meeting with fans after the gig, and we had fun talking to the Jazz Mafia guys who are as cool and nice as they are talented. More after I've had some sleep! (And drive safely to Sellersville, Stevie!) Cheers, Melissa - -- "We all have ability.

For those able to make the Toronto show this upcoming Tuesday I'll be providing a special treat sure to delight and amuse you during our opening set. Unfortunately due to drummer issues (why are drummers always the most unreliable of musicians, no wonder they invented drum machines) we will be unable to perform the Montreal show with Thomas which is a real bummer for me let me tell you. I'm as giddy as a schoolgirl in anticipation of this gig. Crackers ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 20 Sep 2007 11:53:37 -0400 From: Merujo Subject: Re: Alloy: Getting ready!

Bummer about Montreal, man, but Toronto will be getting quite the treat, eh? I hope my friends in Toronto will be able to make the gig - -- I can't wait for their reviews! Hell, I can't wait to hear your stories the next day... Cheers, Melissa - -- "We all have ability.
