ATOM HADM WEBLOG: Posted on 12/02/09

We are still here, happy and busy working on new material and polishing up previous songs for our next release. We’ve had a tremendous time in our shows a since April. Click on audio links to hear something brief in this digital synopsis.


4/15 Dewittshire – Syracuse, NY – Though we were grateful to be there:

Glenn and Mark are shocked that the power amp blew, and were quite literally by a faulty lamp. Twice.

4/17 Dreamt House Showroom – Oswego, NY – Curated by Mark with tremendous help from many people loyal to a great night of performance and art. Even Dave and Glenn hung things up, then helped tear it down.

5/8 Barn Show – Volney, NY – Being the first Barn party of the season, we had a lot of laughs with everyone there, including conversations with our wordsmith friends – even between songs:

5/24 Sterling Stage Folkfest – Sterling, NY – Camp Ate ‘Em Hate ‘Em was all that without the hate. We feasted on all the camping experience has to offer and even began scripting a TV cooking show where before sampling the food, “Everything goes in the garbage.” We had a marvelous time playing under a tent while the sun blazed.

6/13 Gear Factory / Revolution Studio – Syracuse, NY – Amongst the other great bands there was burlesque and a native American flutist that some drummer got to play with before the set. So unforgettable, only a little was captured.

7/11 Outer Space Art Show – Volney, NY - It was a riot, and Glenn’s 25’th birthday for the fourth time.

8/7 Live Free Art & Music Fest – Lorraine, NY – Some of the nicest people we’ve ever hung out with before the famed, ‘keyhole fire’. Glenn & Mark got to engineer for about 6 hours at 37 degrees and loved every second. We also broke in a brand new stage without breaking it.

8/24 Music & Art Over Syracuse @ Half Penny – Syracuse, NY –Here we met one of the best soundmen yet, Brett. You get? Tina was all fun and all business:

9/13 Half Penny Pub – Syracuse, NY – So then came the show, where we had a great time with Brett once again, and Tom Around the World who opened the show with a Public Image Ltd. Tribute. Insanely fun.

9/20 Sterling Stage “Last Daze of Summer” – Sterling, NY - With warm days and extremely cold nights, we had a great adventure in the 60 hours from when we arrived to our interpretive dancer ‘Redbeard’ Levi commented during the set:

10/9 Half Penny – Syracuse, NY – Okay, we love this place! Easily our most fun performance there

10/23 Gear Factory – Syracuse, NY – This was a party for friends of the artist/musician space – some in costume, others in space.

10/31 LOFT 910 – Brooklyn, NY – On Halloween, we wore our Sunday best on Saturday night

In the winter months we’re getting together to prepare for our next recording on ½ “ tape at Information Center Studios, that will capture songs from these dates and more. We will be presenting our podcast series in this time, so everyone can be together in the theater of the mind.
We played these shows with some seriously talented artists too many to name in this update, and hope to be with lots of them again come spring. Thank you for coming out to any of the shows, and thanks for listening to us.

-Mark, Dave, Tina & Glenn
