We blew up the Bell House last night with a full-blown brassy, rockin’, choral, movin’ show. The energy was electric and the vibe was ecstatic. Many thanks to all who made it out.

We’d like to express a special thanks to those who contributed their amazing talents last night. We were honored to play with you, and your creativity and skill humble us. On horns, thanks to: Katie Chauvot (trumpet), Jackie Coleman (trumpet), and Ric Becker (trombone). People, check out Collective Pursuit live. They wail. In the choir, we have members of the amazing NYC-based a cappella choir Treble: Beth St. James Eldridge, Ellen Folan, Kirkley Strand, Meredith Strang, and Dana Wise.

We’d also like to thank Adam Holz, Alex Knee, and Michael Artsis for filming last night’s show. (Yeah, that’s right. Even if you weren’t there, you’ll get to see all that went down…)

Thanks to Zan McQuade for taking pics of the show (which you can find after the jump).

A final shout out to our new favorite Detroit act The Hard Lessons. The trio proved that Detroit is indeed still “Rock City”. Check them out!

Big thanks to Chris Doggett for throwing us a party/BBQ at his 19th floor balcony apartment in the heart of Philly, The Phoenix, which overlooks Love Park.

The show last night at The Fire went well. We had a camera crew filming and a ProTools rig tracking from a studio above the club. Thanks to The Fire and Adam Holz & friends for hooking it all up. Stay tuned for footage of the show.

After the show, we hit up a bar on the first floor of The Phoenix and talked about The Pens win (!), The Venture Bros, and making out with dogs. (Don’t ask.)

See you tonight, Albany!
