This picture is from our soundcheck at Charlotte’s Visulite Theater a couple weeks ago. What a great place.

April isn’t our busiest month this year. Well let me rephrase that. It’s busy — just not with House of Fools shows. We’ll be using this month not only to gear up for a summer full of show dates, but to do some individual gigs, see some friends get hitched (while also providing some music), and spend some time jamming together in our studio/live space. We had a blast with our new buddies in Tea Leaf Green and can’t wait to share the stage with them sometime soon! We’ll try to post some goodies this month, so keep your eyes peeled and keep checking back for tour dates and updates! See you all soon!

This is a picture from our show at Webster Hall in NYC. We have plans to come back north in May and are going to hit some more cities this time, so keep an eye out for those dates! We’ve scheduled a couple really special shows in the next two weeks. On March 9th we are playing an acoustic set at DAWNAROO. The show is at The Blind Tiger in Greensboro and proceeds go to benefit the Cone Health Cancer Center and Dawn Brown. The following Saturday is St. Patty’s day and in true HOF fashion, we’ll be playing. This year we’ve decided to cover the Dazed and Confused soundtrack and will be doing it at Greene Street Club. Also, make sure that you get your tickets to our shows with Tea Leaf Green at the end of March as they may sell out! See you all on the road!

North by Northeast

Wed, 22 Feb 2012 02:11:36 -0500

We’re leaving today for a short stint of shows up north. It’s been a minute since we’ve played NYC and New Jersey and we can’t wait to rock the city that never sleeps! Next week we’ll be in Wilmington, NC, so we expect to see all of you beach bums out as well. Also, this just in — on March 17th (St. Patty’s Day) we will be at Greene Street in Greensboro doing something we’ve never done — House of Fools performing the Dazed and Confused soundtrack. Cool right? Check the shows section for info. See you mugs!

2012 starting off right

Wed, 01 Feb 2012 11:09:00 -0500

I cant believe it but its been a month since the record came out and I think its just now sinking in. We are all so stoked for it to be out and I must say, it feels great! Thank you to everybody who has helped us and to everyone who has picked it up so far. We appreciate the positive feedback. It took forever, but we are so pleased with the end result.

Our last two Greensboro shows were awesome and we’ve booked some dates this month for New York and New Jersey, so check our facebook or web page for details. The first month has been a great start to 2012! Thanks everyone!
