HELP CAPITOL OFFENSE PLAY THE WHITE HOUSE!

ROADIES UPDATE

Gov. Mike Huckabee and Capitol Offense had a great time last night in Dover, NH.  By the time “Joy to the World” and “Will the Circle Be Unbroken” rolled around, several NH supporters were dancing in the grass in front of the stage.  When the band started into the final tune, “Twist and Shout” most of the rest of the crowd joined in.

The Roadies are up and ready for action.  Thank goodness for the tarps yesterday afternoon.  Got the FOH set up and the bottom poured out of the clouds.  But the weather cleared up and the show went on.  Heading out in a few minutes to set up for the Operation American Rising show at noon in Nashua, followed by the fundraiser at 4:30 in Concord.  We’ll have a busy day, but it will be fun.

Will post again tonite after the fun is over.

ON THE ROAD AT TWITTER.COM UPDATE

The Roadies leave tomorrow for the Capitol Offense New Hampshire Summer Tour 2007.  The band will be text messaging as it travels to New Hampshire for three great shows this weekend.  You can follow along at www.twitter.com/roadies. Hope to see you in New Hampshire.

NYT - The Boys in the Band

Sometimes The Roadies don’t get to read Sunday’s newspapers on Sunday, but we got a tip from a fellow blogger today.  Check out this great article from yesterday’s New York Times.  Do we see a ”Battle of the Bands” on the horizon?   ”Capitol Offense” has been known to do “Brown Eyed Girl” and Teri owns “Mustang Sally.”  No “Black Dog,” but wait ’til you see Gordon play ”Free Bird” — with his teeth!
