Also on the bill...

4.0 (Syracuse, NY)

The Steakouts (Rochester, NY)

Picnic Caskets (X - ton of bands - X)

A Special Acoustic Set feat. Matt Murphy and Steve Terry


RSVP HERE -----> https://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=261485463889814

This is a BENEFIT SHOW for TOYS FOR TOTS. Admission is an UNOPENED TOY to be distributed locally to families in need during this holiday season.

Please help us spread the word by RSVP'ing and re-posting to your friends and family.

We will also be having a raffle for charity, prizes to be donated by local businesses. More on participating organizations soon.

We are very excited to be in the same place at the same time after so long, and we couldn't ask for anything better than to play a show, have some fun, and help out a worthy cause.

The more people that show up, the more toys we can collect. Let's try to PACK Funk and Waffles, who've graciously offered up the venue to help us make this holiday season better for a kid who may otherwise go without.

Y'all are badass, and we look forward to seeing you all again very soon ;)

Big sloppy smooches,

GG

The Steakouts are really excited to have been invited to this. Razsum has been like the great white buffalo to us, we've heard so much about them and have heard their music, but never got to share the stage with them. When Rory called I knew we had to take it. We will be collecting donations for Toys for Tots at all three of our shows prior to November 23, AND for every dollar we collect the band will match it. Lets get some freakin' toys to this thing!

Steakouts upcomming schedule:

October 18: The Slackers, Deal's Gone Bad, B-Side Basterds. Mohawk Place Buffalo, NY. $15 Admission. Show starts at 7pm. http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=2 ... 5770337667

October 21: "Smooth Skalloween Show" at Mansfield College. Mansfield,PA. Featuring Holden Moyer and The Smooth Operators. Free show. Since there are 6 members in the band, The Steakouts will be dressed as the Village People...
http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=2 ... 7450810819

November 12: Mustard Plug, Flatfoot 56, Blank Shots. Mohawk Place. Buffalo, NY. $13 Presale, $15 Doors. 7pm.

Hey folks,

We have just printed and posted our flyer at Facebook! Check it out here:

We really appreciate your support over the years and are very much looking forward to playing a 14th reunion show with all the great bands on the bill.

Please come out and help support great music for a great cause.

Remember, all you have to do the following day is eat and go back to sleep.

We look forward to seeing you at Funk 'n Waffles on the 23rd!

GG

THANKS AGAIN FOR EVERYONE THAT BROUGHT TOYS LAST NIGHT!!!

As hopefully most of you noticed, by the time the show was over, there were 3 big overflowing boxes of toys collected by the two Marines at the show, which was a great effort.

All in all, it was a very fun night. :cheers:

It was great to see so many faces I haven't seen in awhile, like Pat and Brendan, among others.

Picnic Caskets was silly, but lots of fun. Our hardcore appetizer for the evening.

The Steakouts did a great job and I know they want to keep coming back, so hopefully everyone will support that.

4 Point 0 knocked the crowd into hyperdrive, as expected. Because Rory was playing bass in the 1st, 3rd and 5th bands of the night, he wanted his sets spaced apart, which makes sense.

It's been a very long time since I've seen The Naked Citizens, but they were fun as always. I had to laugh that 3 of the guys wore shirts with "The Closers" on them, but with the "C" covered up.

And of course, we had the grand finale with Razbari Sumthing which was everything I think most of us expected. It was especially amusing when Derek forgot the words to "Puberty" during the encore. :mrgreen:

Thanks again for everyone that came out and donated toys!!!!!!!!
