We are home! Many strange twists and turns in the road have led us back to our beloved Brooklyn. Thanks to everyone who signed our mailing list - welcome to ye ol Hopewell newsletter.As always, SXSW was a blast. We played many awesome shows with tons of great bands. Stand outs were definitely Tall Firs at the Lonestar Inn, Puddin' Tang and the Stalkers at the NYNT day party, and Witch at Tee Pee Records showcase. Check out SL Weekly'saccount of the Tee Pee set - pretty accurate down to the description of Jason looking "like a tampon". There was a nice mention and picture in Vanity Fair's blog about the festival and Hopewell's footwear even wound up on a site devoted to Boots.Also - before we left - 2 fifths of us ran around the city recording songs for La Blogotheque /One Take New York. Click here to watch us plead with Yoko for her love, perform "Monolith" under extreme weather conditions and even debut a new song in a pay toilet. Good times.
So, we've been in the studio all winter. We have a new set, some new songs, and a Cakeshop show April 18th. We are joined by some of our favorite bands: Suckers, Land Of Tomorrow and It Lives. Come let us treat you right, Spring will spring us right into each others open arms.
4/18 - Cakeshop - w/ Suckers, Land of Tomorrow & It Lives
