an ode to a great year past, and a even better one to come
The past year has been a whirlwind. Starting in last October when Toy Soldiers (as it once was) basically crumbled before me, to getting all down and out, hanging on and eventually finding a whole new band of really incredible musicians and people that really have defined this band as it was always meant to be. Shit really does work out if you are willing to keep on. From our first show at last years CMJ in Brooklyn, to making the “Get Through the Time” EP, touring the south and making “Midweek Mountain Getaway” in Nashville, to sharing the stage with Dr. Dog and Justin Townes Earle at the first ever WHYY Connections festival, having a one year anniversary of the new lineup at Bloktoberfest with The Walkmen, to wrapping up the year this past week with a sold-out show with J. Roddy Walston and The Business and Johnny Brenda’s with Jesse Malin, and all the mishaps, madness and ridiculous good times in between… things are finally in the right place. And while, 2011 was the best year to date, 2012 is going to be even more so. We’ve got some amazing record plans that we’ll spill soon as well as a month-long March tour with dates TBA soon, as well as our first SXSW adventure.
We have come across some really great people that have showed such amazing support for what it is we do and we can’t thank you nearly enough for everything. From lending an ear, to dancing your ass off at a show to sharing a song with friends and family. You’re all making this even more lovable.
All that being said, thank you all times a million, everyone have safe and happy holidays, and we’ll be back and better than ever for 2012 (in case the world does in fact end)
wooooohooooooo
