Saturday, May 27, 2006 - The word spreads

Last night's "secret" DT show at Brasil was a lot of fun. Apparently it wasn't quite as much of a secret as we thought, since a bunch of you came out and hung out with us. Which was rad.

No public Houston shows currently booked until July, but we'll let you know when something pops up.

Thursday, May 25, 2006 - NIT @ Brasil

Friday night (05/26) from 9 to midnight, Nuje Improv Trio will be back at Brasil (2604 Dunlavy @ Westheimer). Patrick will be on bass (probably not trumpet), and Al Bear on guitar. We'll have a surprise keyboard player in da house too.

Saturday BlaBat will be at Super Happy Fun Land. Blabat is Nino Batista and me. Drums and bass...and noise...I'm sure it'll be fine. Alrighty then. See you there, plural.

Friday, May 19, 2006 - Troubador

Drop Trio plays first, somewhere between 9:30 and 10 most likely. Then Groovin' Ground plays. More info here as it unfolds.

Also, in case you're not up to speed on Groovin' Ground, the esteemed Jarle Lillemoen (from Grass) has joined the band on guitar. And since Mo Pair (also from Grass) also plays with Groovin' Ground, that's practically a quorum. Or something. Suffice it to say that it'll be awesome.

Monday, May 15, 2006 - Even if it's just one note ...

Here's a snippet from our last performance, at the ATX festival in Austin. The interview was aired on KOOP last week:

Drop Trio @ ATX Fest

"There's always something in there that everybody could relate to at some point or another. Even if it's just one note."

Saturday, May 06, 2006 - No Houston Show Tonight

Hi all - just to be clear, there will not be a Drop Trio show in Houston tonight, 5/6. Our calendar originally showed a show at the ASHS warehouse tonight, but it's been postponed until later in the summer.

If you're stuck looking for something else to do this evening, might we suggest:

Dune TX, Casino, and Flaming Hellcats at Dan Electro's
Lanky and Brandon Stanley opening up for Bob Schneider at the Engine Room
