Happy St. Patrick's Day to y'all!  Clashing Headstocks are rolling back down to the Redding Roadhouse this Saturday, March 22nd.  The pleasure would be all ours if you could make it down for some good food and good music.  Hope to see you there!

Clashing Headstocks thank all of you who came out to Daniel J's last night for our debut at that venue.  Attendees of note included Pat, Lucy, Bernadette, and Sharon; Sally and Gary; Joan and Ed—whom we'd also like to thank for sitting in and rocking out so capably on a couple of our tunes!—Anita and Dave(!); Simon; and Nick L.(!!).  We'd also like to thank everyone we met for the first time that night, who had such a great time dancin' and hangin' and hollerin' and made it such a party for us.  Hope we see you all again, soon.  You're the best!

At this time, Clashing Headstocks want to wish all of you the happiest of Thanksgivings.  What are we grateful for?  So many things: hobby horses . . .  electric razors . . . lawn darts . . . cattle prods (don't ask) . . . bank overdraft notices . . . individually-wrapped cheese slices . . . large, rectangular-shaped boxes . . . geothermal venting . . . the Big Bang . . . and, most importantly, humanity's non-stop need to totally rock!

Seriously, we couldn't do this without you.   Most of all we're grateful for all of you who have come out and supported us with your words, your applause, your awesome dance moves—your presence.  That's what the shouting is all about.  It means a lot to us, and we thank you.

Ah, but time (to paraphrase the poet) is on your side!  If you've a mind to, check out our Schedule page.  Da 'Stock is (er, um) in da house(s)!  M'shouza!  Come on out, and see and hear why nine out of ten housewives are sick and ttired of taking meaningless surveys!

You will not be displeased.

Whoo-hoo-ooo! . . . Clashing Headstocks are grateful to all of you who came down to the  Georgetown Saloon on the 5th.  We can't begin to do justice to all who showed up, but Peggy, Tom, Sally, Pat, Bernadette . . . Joan, Sharon, Carol, Cindy, Doug, Ed, Dave, Jay, Len . . . man, we know we're leaving some of you out, but what we remember—that ain't what it's about—you folks, you folks was great!  Thank you for coming down!  And thanks, in particular, to Russ and Charlotte for staying with us throughout their weddiing rehearsal party, and hanging so late into the night, on the eve of their vows.  You folks taught us what it's all about, and we thank you!

Having said that, at this moment, we have to extend our congratulations to Pat & Dave, for  tying the knot, and throwing a terrific, musical bash to celebrate the moment.  Ask Hat City Blues, ask Shoo Fly Blues , ask a Headstock (go on, ask one!). . . it was a night to remember!  Our wish is for those two, crazy kids to enjoy a world of excitement, exploring the adventure that is them, and their new life together.

Oh, and before we forget—brain-dead little Headstocks that we am—we want to invite all of you to join us as we explore the mystery that is Daniel J's for the first time!  If only for that reason, it's sure to be special for us—and we want it to be special for you, too!  Come Friday, November 30th , c'mon up to Daniel J's!  It's da happenin' place!

(Okay, was that a take?  Did we sell it right?  I mean, we like these guys, they're doin' it right, we want everyone to come down and all . . . oh, crap, is this still o--)

Clashing Headstocks will be layin' it down at the Georgetown Saloon this Friday, October 5th , and we'd like all of you to come along for the ride!  This is our first appearance at the Saloon as a band, and you would honor us with your presence and show of support.  The food is good, the staff is friendly, and the dance floor more than easy to get onto.  Come on down for a night of music, dance, and fun!

Hope you're all revelling in this spring weather.  We've got some happenings we'd like to let you know about, and some specifics regarding pervasive HeadstockeryTM.

On Saturday, June 23rd, we'll be taking the caravan down the road once again to the Redding Roadhouse.  We've celebrated the Roadhouse's virtues before in story and song.  Those of you who have been there know why.  If you haven't, come down and find out just how cozy a tavern can be!

On Saturday, July 14th , we'll be returning to the annual carnival at St. Greg's in Danbury .  If your summer just won't be complete without a heaping helping of fried dough and a slew of fun rides, this is the place.  Mother-tested,  kid-friendly, and Headstocks approved.  We'll be cranking it  up in the early evening and playing right through until they close the gates.  C'mon down and have some family fun!

Off on the distant horizon lies October.  No need to think about it too hard right now, but we would appreciate it if you'd flip your calendar ahead long enough to mark October 5th as the day the Headstocks will play the first night of their own at the Georgetown Saloon ! This one's kinda special for us, and we'll be looking forward to seeing as many of you as can, to come on down and help us break the place in, Headstocks style!
