We much appreciate the support, especially considering it was a late gig on a school night. The consensus was that this was one of the band’s top outings …owing to a rigorous rehearsal schedule, top-notch professional sound (thanx Jason!) and the prodigious talents of the NOBODY’S BUSINESS SINGERS, Louise Wise and Lisa Moore. Much appreciated ladies! And let’s do this again soon. HILL COUNTRY is a first-rate venue, so we’d love to go back there – and late afternoon Wednesday there was good news on that front too. Booker Wil Gravatt reported “great reviews” from the whole HILL COUNTRY staff, and said he wanted to book us again for a Thursday… or even a weekend! We’re very pumped about this, not least because it gives those of you who didn't come out another chance to see us at a really nice venue. Meanwhile, onward to the Bannockburn Festival!

Anyway, if you missed it, we hope we'll have some video to show sooner rather than later, so you can get a sense of the whole kit and kaboodle sounds like;  Nobody's Business, with Mel singing, Nobody's Horns and the Nobizettes !  We had 12 people up on stage and...it sounded pretty sweet. We hope that we can find another venue that can accomdate the whole package.  But then, we still haven't gotten our marketing act together enough to find even a more modest room.  But we're phyched now, so look out DC !!! All the best, -The Nobiz gang

Anyway, we have new tunes on the site, representing our new demo with Mel.  We think it sounds great, but we're awfully prejudiced.  So be kind. We're coming up on our 3rd Journopalooza this Jan 21.  Do come on out and help support a good cause (and us, incidentally. They're really going to have a battle of the Journo bands, so we need your votes).  And after that, out with the demo door to door with club-owners until we get some open-venue gigs where we can actually play for you folks. (Of course, we do love all the private parties and weddings, too, but every now and then there's nothing like a good rowdy bar.  R.I.P Grog and Tankard) So.  Stay tuned...and we'll send out info as it develops. Best, The NoBiz Bunch
