Elliot Szabo opening for Hoobastank on July 8th at the Rio Pool!
Hey everyone! As some of you already know, Gary, Jeremy and myself were recently in a competition with four other bands sponsored by Las Vegas' 107.9 FM to see who would open for chart-toppers Hoobastank when they descend on the poolside stage at the Rio hotel next month. Thanks to everyone who came out and supported us! After a great performance we were able to rise to the top of the ballot and win. So, mark your calendars and grab your sunblock. We'll see you July 8th at the Rio pool. Doors open at 5:30 and we'll start heating things up at 6. Click here to print out your tickets, and we'll see you at the pool. I'll be the one in the gold lame` Speedo.
Goldmine Tavern This Friday!
(posted 5-11-10)
Hey all, we're going to be doing a set at the Goldmine Tavern this Friday. A great venue that is now being booked by some good friends of mine over at Stardust Fallout. They have been dedicated to helping promote live local music in the Las Vegas area for some time now, and have hit another home run down at the Goldmine. We'll be doing a 2-3 hour set, so join us for some great drink specials, good music and an all around kick-ass Friday night!

Website down, up, out in...(1/18/10)
From my understanding of it all we lost the website for a bit last night, however our web dude got it back up and at 'em just in time for me to write this update. I'd like to say it went down because of a mass of traffic to the site, but I think it was just one dude up near Canada hitting the F5 button repeatedly that finally made the ol' girl buckle.In some other cool news Gary, Kenny and I are pumped to be getting out on this five day four city tour up California and over to Reno. If you are in one of the cities we'll be visiting make sure you come up and say hello after the show. Check out the "Dates" tab for times and locations. You should also check out some of the kick ass artist will be playing with. Here are some links for you....
The Brothers Cooley - San Diego
Nick Bognar - LA
Brandon Tyler - Sacremento
Jonie Blinman - Reno
These are some of the artist I respect and really enjoy working with, otherwise I wouldn't be traveling all over Gods green earth to go play shows with them.
iRadio LA will be playing an interview I did with them last Friday for the upcoming show. They do a lot of good work over there, and we are happy for all the publicity we can get.
Our good friend over at the weekly, April Corbin, just so happened to be at the Freakin' Frog the other night checking out Andy Frasco, who was on tour from LA, and happened to catch this little unplanned moment. I love when people just start pulling instruments out of the woodwork and joining in.
I felt like I had some more news, but for the time being I'm all sapped out.

More Updates for the New Year (12/27/09)
Elliot's song Persian was the #10 most requested song for 2009 on the 92.3 local radio show! If you haven't heard it, head over to the Music Section.Also, Elliot and the band will be starting work on a full length album that should be ready for release in October, not to mention appearances in LA and Sacramento and Reno in January.
Stay tuned for more updates!!
Updates 12/21/09
I just want to start by saying that I had a great time this past Saturday at Mocha Joe's Coffee down in Henderson. I sang country, as did everyone else in the shop and told a ton of stories about why I play what I play. The short version is it all has to do with underboob. More specifically this . Edison was on hand doing some recording and shooting, some of which you can check out at their Flikr account. I hope to get back there really soon.If you haven't noticed by checking out the show dates below, we're going to be going on a mini tour here in January, and have been doing a lot of research on some interesting legal issues this poses. San Diego and San Fran venues are still TBA, but we have LA, Sacramento and Reno booked right now. If you have friends in those cities don't be afraid to forward or stuff on. I'm sure your friends will be more than pleased to know that you've made plans for them on (insert date we'll be in your friends town) and will thank you warmly for your consideration, :)
In case you weren't sure, WE ARE STILL AT THE FROG ON THURSDAYS!! With on notable exception.
We will be playing our new years show at the Northstar Bar and Grill on December 31st. We will be playing tons of covers. If you ever wanted to hear me sing Matisyahu, or Outcast, or ACDC this is your chance!! Check back soon for the specials they'll be having that night.
That's all for now!

After a few hurdles we had to overcome in order just to put the show on, we finally had an awesome show at Sinister. Dave the owner there is a great guy, and everyone did an amazing job helping us out to get it together.

We are also now pleased to be preselling CD's . If you plan on coming to the show on the 26th you can pick one up with your admission price (or as I like to call it, FREE!)
