The Gracious Few Press Release

Someone who represents The Gracious Few was kind enough to send me their latest press release because of my recent nut swinging, or maybe I signed up for their list and don't remember, but anyway here it is. I can't wait to see these guys here in Little Rock on Oct 16th and may even go catch them in Memphis on the 19th. I wonder what they're doing the 17th and 18th? There's really no where to book between here and there, trust me. Maybe they can book a 2nd show here? Or perhaps a private party at my place?

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE - September 14, 2010

The Gracious Few's self-titled debut album releasing today is produced by Talking Head's Jerry Harrison and is releasing on the band's own imprint Questionable Entertainment. New songs "Appetite" and "Honest Man" are now available on The Rock Band Network!!

The Gracious Few's US headlining tour kicks off in Buffalo on September 24, 2010. Opening act American Bang will join The Gracious Few starting in Boston, MA on September 28, 2010.

The Gracious Few are comprised of bassist Patrick Dahlheimer, drummer Chad Gracey, guitarist Chad Taylor, front man Kevin Martin and guitarist Sean Hennesy. The band has made little attempt to mask their love for classic driving rock n' roll - 70's rock bands but with a modern twist such as Led Zeppelin, Them Crooked Vultures, AC/DC, Black Sabbath, Black Keys, Pink Floyd Dead Weather and the Rolling Stones are just a few of the influences you'll hear on the band's debut album.
