Apologies and a means to redeem!

Greetings Austin Fans and Friends,

We just wanted reach out and extend our most sincere and deepest
apologies to all of you who came out to Stubb's in Austin on Sunday 
night to see us on our opening engagement supporting the band OURS.
For reasons of tact and professionalism I will not go deeply in to the
specifics of what made the evening become what it did except to say
that we were invited by OURS (not the venue or promoter) to perform
Sunday evening, but due to some extremely unprofessional behavior by
the band and their touring staff, we were forced to cancel our show.

If anyone is in need of a refund for their Sunday night tickets please
contact our management at; management (at) soundsunderradio (dot) com, they will
be happy to assist you through that process. We would also like to
extend our most sincere gratitude to both Stubb's and C3 for their
support and professionalism in this difficult situation.

More than ever we are looking forward to making this up to you all
this coming Friday night (Dec 19th) when we return to STUBBS for our
own 'Hometown Holiday Headlining Show.' Again, a thousand apologies
to all that made it out Sunday hoping to see a Sounds Under Radio rock
show. We promise that this coming Friday we will more than make it up
to you!

-Lang/Bradley/Doug/Sonny

Running Jokes and Holiday Shows

Season's Greetings, all!

I hope that everyone had a lovely Thanksgiving filled with both wonderful and dysfunctional family moments (because, what are the holidays without a few reminders that we all love those around us, no matter how imperfect they are!).

We are back on the road for a select few dates before Christmas, including a bill with one of our favorite bands, Ours! It promises to be a great show. That will be followed by a special Hometown Headlining Christmas Show @ Stubb's on December 19th; not to give anything away, but, you might hear a Sounds Under Radio Christmas Carol exclusive that night...so make sure to come out and celebrate with us!!

We'll also be hitting Dallas, San Antonio, Denton, Corpus Christi, Monroe (LA), and San Antonio once again before Santa jumps on his sleigh.

So, we have this running joke in the band...when, after a couple of days of being out, road fatigue sets in, all of us have moments when we tend to forget where we are, where we're going to, when we're playing, etc... So, for example, when Bradley asks Lang "ummm, where are we playing tonight?", the answer, unequivocally, is always "It's Wednesday, we're heading to Chicago, and we're opening". Even if we're in Pennsylvania. It's meant to incentivize band members to read their daily sheets (that contain all this info), but, has turned into a fantastic way to rib your colleagues in their moments of tour vertigo.

Hope to see everyone in the next couple of weeks to wish you all a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year in person!
