New Tracks!

It's true! Real Good is recording 6 new tracks with Mark Bronzino in New Brunswick, NJ. We will keep you posted on how we plan to release them when we know more!

In the meantime, we have less than 20 copies of the Is This Good? demo tape left. Shoot us an e-mail at itsrealgoodyes@gmail.com to request a tape be sent to your home.  Speaking of which, this tape is being chatted about in the blogosphere.  We just caught another review from Built On a Weak Spot.

Also, I am betting that our drummer, Eric Truchan, would genuinely like you to be having a happy Thanksgiving weekend.

DIDs, DID NOTs, and PROBABLY WILL DOs

Things that Real Good did NOT do recently: 
Play a Halloween gig in Jersey City with Oakland, CA punx Big Kids and Acid Fast. However, Josh and John's side band, Cool Shirt made a cameo appearance.



Things that Real Good DID do recently:
 Witness the Meat Puppets play a stellar gig at a nearby venue in northern New Jersey.

Things that Real Good WILL PROBABLY do in the near future:
 Record a handful of new songs with none other than Mark Bronzino. Anyone want to put out a Real Good 7"?

Out Of Town Jaunt

For the first time, we are able to embark on a consecutive (albeit short) series of gigs outside our native state and in the wonderful climes of New England.  Boston, Burlington, B- sorry, Willimantic, here we come!  Although I could not complete that alliterative scheme, we do plan on completing sets of our rock tunes at the following times, locations, and with the following folks:

Sep 30 // Boston MA @ O'Brien's Pub
w/ Bobby Joe Ebola and the Children, MacNuggits, Tornado Rider
8 PM / $7
info: O'Briens

Oct 1 // Burlington VT @ 242 Main
w/ Burning Streets, Trapper Keeper, Brick Mower
6 PM / $7
info: 242 Main

Oct 2 // Willimantic CT @ The Handsome Woman
w/ Brick Mower, Best Practices, more
6 PM / $5 / vegan potluck


And while I'm at it, I suppose I might as well spill the beans on a fantastic community-oriented local show we have coming up.  Part of a series of gigs known as the Pantry Party, this one is happening in greater NYC.


Oct 15 // Long Island City, NY @ The Texas Firehouse
Rooftop Show + Indoor Art Showcase 
w/ Incan Abraham, Caged Animals, Marguerito, Mad Lights, Jounce
7 PM / 10 cans or $10 / free beer for can-bringers





Talk soon,
John

Greetings! and Tape Release.

After having been alerted by some friends and acquaintances that it would be nice for us to have a universal place on the internet where we post information relating to our band, Real Good, I decided to go about this in the most cost effective and least tech savvy way possible: a blog!

So why not get this informational bit started with some jive most relevant to today?

That's right.  Today, or tonight rather, we will be playing the second and final tape release show to celebrate the release of our debut demo tape, "Is This Good?"



Deetz:
