BUMPIN WITH BOVINE IN THE BIG APPLE

It finally happened folks. THE BAND LEFT PENNSYLVANIA. THE BOVINE BANDITS lived up to their name and STOLE FREELANCE SWEATPANTS AWAY! The night was spectacular. The venue was an exquisite marriage of COOL LIGHTING, A SORRY LOOKING BASS DRUM and the feeling of SHEER LOVE FOR ROCK AND ROLL!

Kicking things off were HAMMER SPACE, FORMERLY TRIVIAL PURSUIT. Don’t bother PURSUING THEIR FORMER MONIKER, THE SELF PROCLAIMED FIRST TIME LIVE ARTIST’S REVEALED THAT TRIVIAL PURSUIT DIED IN A BOATING ACCIDENT. Though you couldn’t put the bandages of the arm of this writer, it seemed as if HAMMER SPACE had been playing together for years. Playing a mostly cover song set with TIGHT COVERS of ELTON JOHN’S “BENNIE AND THE JETS” and an instrumental of “DAY TRIPPER” that would make JEFF BECK PROUD!

Once HAMMER SPACE HAMMERED IN THAT TONIGHT IS ABOUT ROCK AND ROLL, FREELANCE SWEATPANTS BROUGHT THE PUNK ROCK THUNDER! Kicking things off was a fresh “007” featuring licks from SOON TO BE MARRIED, DOM SPIER. The crowd was into it. COUPLES DANCED, people bopped their heads, and then SEAN asked HOW NEW YORK WAS DOING before launching into the fitting “GOTTA GET OUT”. Though AJ may have FORGOTTEN HIS SOLO, that fact was not LOST on the AUDIENCE. “SPOOKY” and “HIT THE ROAD” followed, then the groovy “COUCH” had audiences sitting ANYWHERE BUT thanks to tight GROOVES FROM JUSTIN.  

THE FLOOR MAY HAVE BEEN DECKED OUT LIKE A 70’S DISCO LOUNGE, but make no mistake, this was an old school CBGB’S PUNK SHOW! While the venue may no longer exist in NEW YORK, THE SPIRIT STILL DID in songs like “NEW MATERIAL” which featured someone in the audience yelling to DOM that he was his GUITAR HERO. Even heroes can bleed as DOM bled on his guitar during that song, making it a NIGHT TO REMEMBER!

The second half of the set may be seen as an audience loser, though in fact it ALLOWED THEM TO CATCH THEIR BREATH. AJ’S killer “OTHERSIDE” solo went over amazingly.  “STROKES TYPE THING” and “UPSIDE DOWN”relied on tight interlocking grooves from the REST OF THE BAND. With new song “KNOCKIN” the audience had no idea it was its live debut due to how TIGHTLY THE BAND PLAYED IT! The closer “HIGH ON A PLANE” recaptured the AUDIENCE’S ATTENTION. Once again, the band brought NEW YORK back to its PUNK ROCK ROOTS WITH A COVER OF LIAM LYNCH’S “MY UNITED STATES OF WHATEVER!”

Following that amazing performance, BOVINE BANDITS MILKED THE COW for ALL IT’S WORTH. Providing great instrumental jams, by my account 3 drummers and some amazing songs from their new EP SUPRAVENTRICULAR! The highlight for this writer was seeing their new, FANTASTIC SINGLE “MONEY” in its glory. The song truly is WORTH A LISTEN!

Night two, back in CONSHOHOCKEN, THE HOMETOWN HEROES returned from a lengthy journey. Tired, BATTLE WORN, but nevertheless STILL ROCKIN. Both artists played the same set, albeit with some noticeable changes. AJ redeemed himself and rocked the “GOTTA GET OUT” solo the way it was MEANT TO BE PLAYED. And BOVINE BANDITS took us on a trip to FUNKY TOWN. Oh and there was this killer band, THE DEAD EYES that featured a VIOLIN PLAYER who also PLAYED A KILLER FEEDBACK SOLO!

Our audience may have been dismayed by the 11:30 start time, though it didn’t stop our friends in LAZER SHARK for attending the show! Special shout out to JOE SIRIANNI and PHIL DIRENZO from attending. WE CAN’T WAIT TO JAM WITH YOU AGAIN!

Overall, a solid weekend of BLOOD, SWEAT, BEERS AND ROCK AND ROLL. For now, we take some time off, make you MISS US A BIT, then come back with something TRULY SPECTACULAR!

AJ is that you?

You heard it RIGHT FOLKS! Just as this writer can’t hear too well OUT OF HIS LEFT EAR, the bands life has taken a LEFT TURN! For the FIRST TIME EVER, we are INVITED ON THE ROAD! The awesome rockers in the band BOVINE BANDITS, have lived up to their name and are KIDNAPPING US away from PA. The band is set to play PIANOS in NEW YORK CITY the night before their headlining show at DAWSON STREET PUB SEPTEMBER 21ST!

How did such a show like this come about? LIKE THE VOICES IN THE CORNFIELDS, if you BUILD IT, THEY WILL COME! The band has spent now over 2 YEARS building RELATIONSHIPS and CONNECTIONS to OTHER BANDS. The hard work is FINALLY PAYING OFF. However, deals like this don’t come without PERSONAL COST. Band member and SHREDDER AJ may sit out of the NEW YORK SHOW.  Or will he? If you think you’re going crazy seeing a person onstage who looks like THIS WRITER IN A HAT AND SUNGLASSES, playing AJ’s guitar, YOU WILL BE NONE THE WISER TO THINK THAT’S ANYONE BUT AJ. The real AJ (name short for ALWAYS JAMMON’) will resume duties with the band SEPTEMBER 21ST at DAWSON STREET PUB.

Also in more fun news, a new show may come around THIS DECEMBER. Details are still SCARCE, THOUGH IT MAY FEATURE SOME FAMILIAR FRIENDS. Big things are happening, THE BAND NOW HAS 200 FOLLOWERS on INSTAGRAM and GROWING. BANDS WANT TO PLAY WITH US. We may only have ONE MONTH WITHOUT A SHOW THIS YEAR. I know, YOU DON’T, which month they have to rest.

UNTIL THEN, a special thanks to BOVINE BANDITS, DAWSON STREET PUB and PIANOS for having us! LET’S KEEP THIS MOMENTUM GOING!

HAPPY TWO YEARS OF ROCKING OUT WITH FREELANCE SWEATPANTS!

Where has the time gone? THIS SATURDAY, no not the rocking one we had LAST SATURDAY, SATURDAY the 24th , is FREELANCE SWEATPANTS’ 2nd ANNIVERSARY. Run on sentence? Well, this band has been RUNNING ON FOR TWO YEARS! In that time they have accomplished things I WOULDN’T HAVE THOUGHT POSSIBLE!

Year two was described by JUSTIN as “THE YEAR OF FREELANCE SWEATPANTS” and what a year it has been. From losing THE JAM STATION, to finding new creative ways to REHEARSE, the band has SOLDIERED ON! REACHING NEW CREATIVE AND MARKETING HEIGHTS NEVER THOUGHT POSSIBLE. Yes, the diary of a madman like captions are intentional.

The bands following has extended beyond friends and family, bringing in quite the community of BANDS WHO WANT TO PLAY WITH THEM. Play they did, EXCELERATE, one of our longtime friends INVITED US TO PLAY AN ELECTRIC DAWSON STREET PUB SHOW. LAZER SHARK have agreed to reuniting THE GRAPE ROOM LINEUP. REUNITE WE DID!

The band, LAZER SHARK, and a scene stealing RYAN GADS brought a great show to THE RUSTY NAIL. While it may have been our LOWEST AUDIENCE TURNOUT, we won over the HEARTS of the BANDS and their FANS on the BILL. PAT, LAZER SHARKS ELECTRIC MULTI-INSTRUMENTALIST was singing along with DOM to “NEW MATERIAL”.  KEVIN, the bands BASS PLAYER even asked if the band was playing their cover of “WHATEVER”.  Why am I talking about what the other bands think? I KNOW, YOU DON’T.

Over the last few days, FOOTAGE OF THE SHOW IN IT’S ENTIRETY has been uploaded to YOUTUBE. You can watch the sweat stains appear on SEAN in REAL TIME! The setlist hadn’t changed much since DAWSON STREET, but that was fine as a new AUDIENCE GOT TO WATCH FOR THE FIRST TIME! Even PAT remarked that AJ’S signature tune “OTHERSIDE” was HIS FAVORITE.

So, in another year, we are now becoming part of a MUSIC SCENE. Bands like our stuff, want to PLAY WITH US AND VICE VERSE WITH THEM. Things can ONLY GET BIGGER AND BETTER FROM THERE. It was a great show for ALL INVOLVED. LET’S DO IT AGAIN SOMETIME!

SPECIAL SHOUT OUT: CHRIS AND THE RUSTY NAIL, RYAN GADS, LAZER SHARK and SEAN’S PHONE ON A LITTLE TRIPOD for footage.

GRAPE ROOM REUNION READY TO ROCK!

Last night, an impromptu TWO-MAN ELECTRICAL BAND jam took place at THE JAM STATION. AJ and SEAN came in delivering THE LICKS and JOKES one would expect from a BLINK 182 CONCERT. Though they were DEAD SERIOUS about KILLING IT at the bands UPCOMING SHOW at THE RUSTY NAIL.  Why were they DEAD SERIOUS you ask? FOR STARTERS, this show is the REUNION of the ORIGINAL GRAPE ROOM LINEUP. YES, the LINEUP THAT MADE ALL OF THIS POSSIBLE!

Kicking off this show, RYAN GADS at 7:30 this SATURDAY NIGHT. Bringing his eclectic brand of rock, he will be first in a lineup FULL OF SURPRISES! Speaking of, having GOTTEN OUR BIG BREAK from LAZER SHARK, they will be the OPENER FOR US. THAT’S RIGHT, this is FREELANCE SWEATPANTS first show as a HEADLINER! You better BE THERE OR BE SQUARE!

This show has been a LONG TIME COMING! The band has worked their SWEATPANTS OFF for this moment! As for how the JAM WENT, let me tell you:

AJ and SEAN as a two-man DUO weren’t quite the WHITE STRIPES, but still managed to hold the CROWD OF 4 CAPTIVE as if it were a HEAT ESQUE BANK ROBBERY. Kicking things off, the duo rocked new SONG “COUCH”. Despite missing DOM AND JUSTIN, the duo proved the band CAN STILL ROCK with the BEST DUOS IN THE BUSINESS. AJ provided a BLUESY touch to SEANS INFECTIOUS GROOVES. The band played along to a drum fill provided by GARAGE BAND with the accompaniment of the audio from AMERICAN DAD in the background.

Missing two members of your band may feel the same as MISSING YOUR KIDNEY WHILE A MAN PULLS CUTS IT OUT WHILE LISTENING TO HUEY LEWIS’S “HIP TO BE SQUARE”, the two members filled that missing void. Performing rare tracks such as “OH WHY” and soon to be new favorites such as “FLOOR SONG”, AJ and SEAN commanded the room.

The band even caught the attention of onlookers by performing a COUNTRY DIDDY that sounded like rejected music from a “MOTEL SIX” commercial. In addition, several covers got a jam, “VODOO CHILD” and the latter “HEY JEALOUSY” elicited the same emotion from those who wish they could play an instrument.

The setlist for SATURDAY is looking stacked, featuring songs like, well, I KNOW, YOU DON’T.  Rather than have me explain them, show up yourself and ENJOY THE EXPERIENCE!

FREELANCE takes the stage at 9:30 sharp! SPECIAL THANKS TO ALL BANDS WHO JOINED US OUT! SPECIAL SHOUT OUT TO CHRIS AND THE RUSTY NAIL!

Sweatpants Get Groovy with Gary

It was Excelerate’s night, though according to the COVER COUNTER, everyone was there for ANOTHER BAND. If you had GUESSED FREELANCE SWEATPANTS, you’d be considered crazy. The band was FIRST in the bill, and already made a ROCKIN’ FIRST IMPRESSION! The band played FAST and FURIOUS. Rocking like they had SOMETHING TO PROVE. Prove THEY DID!  The band had won over the owner of DAWSON STREET PUB and are INVITED BACK in SEPTEMBER!

To kick it off, the band switched up their typical OPENING SET, kicking things off with the FUNK GROOVES of “007” an oldie but GOODIE.  The band then launched into NEWLY RELEASED SINGLE “GOTTA GET OUT”. The hard-hitting song set the stage for the show to come. Featuring AJ rocking his SOLO on “OTHERSIDE” the band had a musical HIGHLIGHT for old and NEW FANS ALIKE.

Speaking of new fans, if you ever see the man known as “UNCLE GARY” in the wild, do the following steps to ensure SURVIVAL. Engage him about the weather, DO NOT LET HIM NEAR BRIGHT LIGHT, and MOST IMPORTANTLY, DON’T FEED HIM AFTER MIDNIGHT. I’m just kidding, he had the time of his life, and so DID ALL OF YOU! FREELANCE, EXCELERATE, AND LAZER SHARK got GROOVY WITH GARY.

Speaking of Groovy, one of the biggest reactions came from the new grooves of a song debut “COUCH”. Despite its name, no one sat as JUSTIN played the cowbell. He even got request to give the AUDIENCE MORE (as is required by the 1972 Massachusetts State Law, THE MORE COWBELL LAW).

“UPSIDE DOWN” and “STROKES TYPE THING” brought the crowd back in for what would truly be an EPIC and MEMORABLE finale. SEAN brought his A GAME. Bringing some of his best vocals and crowd control. ESPECIALLY introducing the band on “SPOOKY” early in the set.

Now, it’s DOM’S TURN! SPIER got the biggest reaction from his solo on “NEW MATERIAL”. Afterwards “HIGH ON A PLANE” was thought to be the crowd pleaser, but WHATEVER!

Needing two more minutes, the band dusted off the new cover, “WHATEVER” by LIAM LYNCH.  The humor-tinged song went over amazingly with the crowd. Impressed with SEAN’S ability to shout out a few friends in the crowd including INFLUENCE JOHN BORKOWSKI.

SPECIAL SHOUT OUT to EXCELERATE for the amazing night MY FRIEND! LAZER SHARK, great show the FOLLOWING NIGHT! MIC STANDS make excellent bed cushions from what’s been passed around about your show.

GOTTA GET OUT IS HERE!

We may have just gone through the worst HEAT WAVE in US history, but now IT’S FREELANCE SWEATPANTS SEASON!

After a month of rehearsal, JAMMON, and voting, the band is ready to “HIT THE ROAD”.  Coming to you first, however, is a BRAND-NEW SINGLE!

Appropriately titled “GOTTA GET OUT”, the single is released TODAY, is put out in time for the bands show at DAWSON STREET PUB.  The hard driving new single is KICKED OFF (literally) by JUSTIN’S SLAMMING DRUMBEAT. The song features singer SEAN SACCHETTI’S best vocals to date. He’s not alone on VOCALS on this track. Accomp’nying him, (YES, I SPELLED IT LIKE THE SEGER SONG), is lead guitarist DOM SPIER.  The song also becomes a FAMILY AFFAIR.  Dom’s fiancée VYNESSA contributes KILLER BACKING VOCALS in her RECORDING DEBUT! As for AJ, he gets his LICKS IN with a RIPPING GUITAR SOLO!  When JUSTIN shouts “YEEEAAAH!”  at the end of the track, you would be doing the same upon EXPERIENCING IT!

Get the song wherever YOU GET YOUR MUSIC.  I DON’T KNOW, YOU DO, where you get yours.

As for getting out, the band is slated to hit DAWSON STREET PUB FRIDAY night at 9:00! BE THERE or BE SQUARE!

VOTE FOR FREELANCE FOR BERZERKUS!

This election year, only ONE VOTE MATTERS. The band, FREELANCE SWEATPANTS has the opportunity of a LIFETIME to play ZAKK WYLDE’S BERZERKUS. Who is ZAKK WYLDE? WHAT IS BERZERKUS? I’ll tell you.

ZAKK WYLDE is one of the best guitar players to come out of the 90’s. Known for his stints with OZZY OSBOURNE, as well as his own band BLACK LABEL SOCIETY and PANTERA. WYLDE has made a name for himself as one of the best HEAVY METAL guitar players of ALL TIME!

The band has a chance to now play his festival as part of a BATTLE OF THE BANDS. Shortlisted alongside 200 other local artists, FREELANCE has a chance to compete in the final round of the festival.

This ONCE IN A LIFETIME dream won’t happen unless you VOTE OR SEND THE VOTING LINK TO OTHERS!

This is a chance to give the band THEIR BIGGEST CAREER BOOST TO DATE!

SPECIAL THANKS to everyone WHO VOTED already. For those who went OUT OF THEIR WAY to vote, your help was GREATLY APPRECIATED.

BUT THAT’S NO EXCUSE TO SLACK! VOTING IS OPEN UNTIL JULY 12TH.

That’s right, I used all caps for a whole sentence there, that’s HOW IMPORTANT IT IS!

A few other notes, the band has come up with two tasty licks that could become NEW SONGS. The one I titled “PHILADELPHIA ZOO” features tribal esque rhythm from JUSTIN and SEAN, top notch playing from AJ. And a MONKEY LIKE SCREECH from SEAN and, well I can’t be there for every moment.

They also played a song with a bass riff akin to ACE’S classic “HOW LONG”.  The entire band sounded on fire and the group are looking to have another HIT on their HANDS. DOM’S commentary, “it’s recording and WE’RE PEAKING” is poignant.

Why? BECAUSE THIS BAND SHOULD NEVER PEAK. Their career can only GO UP from here! The only way that can happen is if you VOTE for FREELANCE to play BERZERKUS!

Also, AUGUST 17TH, THE GRAPE ROOM lineup of LAZER SHARK, RYAN GADS and FREELANCE SWEATPANTS have REUNITED AT THE RUSTY NAIL! Hope to see you all there!

IMPORTANT STUFF:

JULY 12: VOTING ENDS for BERZERKUS!

AUGUST 17: FREELANCE SWEATPANTS, LAZER SHARK, AND RYAN GADS at THE RUSTY NAIL!

The Band Is Back in Town! (The Website is Not Down!)

After an electric 11 song set at THE FIRE in Philly, which included our friends in EXCELERATE. The band went back to doing what it does best, PLAN and JAM! And plan we did! The largely surprise free FIRE show did feature one huge reveal, a pair of actual FREELANCE SWEATPANTS. They were gifted to JULIE, OUR NUMBER ONE FAN!  Contact the band for any future pants purchases.

Following the show, This BAND MANAGER enjoyed his time in the JERSEY SUN. While he was away, moves were made, shows planned and reveals are to be REVEALED.

First, THE REVEALS! We have NEW SHOWS INCOMING. When are these new shows? Where are these new shows? Why is new shows? I KNOW, YOU DON’T!

First, it’s been a long time coming but Andy/ Excelerate have graciously offered the band a show in response to how well the FIRE TURNED OUT.

That show is FRIDAY AUGUST 2ND at DAWSON STREET PUB! TIME TBT!

After that, the band returns to DAWSON STREET PUB for an electrifying HOUR AND A HALF long performance! How will they play that long? The band is currently cooking up some spicy alternative rock grooves!

They are currently working on at least 3 additional songs. THE SONGS will fit comfortably within their vast catalogue of BANGERS!

Finally, a show slated for PHILLY is in order. The band plays in a TBT venue SEPTEMBER 27TH

That’s three pulse pounding shows. If your pulse is pounding, please see a HEART specialist. You may be suffering from SWEATPANTS WITHDRAWAL. THE ONLY CURE, SEE US AT THESE SELECT DATES!

Dates:

8/02/24 – Dawson Street Pub- Co headline with Excelerate

9/21/24- Dawson Street Pub- Hour and a Half Show.

9/27/24- (Location TBT)

The Band Rocks The Rusty Nail

After months, no EONS of anticipation, FREELANCE SWEATPANTS returned to the stage! Like a PHOENIX rising from the ASHES, the band rose to the occasion and ROCKED THE HOUSE! Taking the stage around 8:30 after the wonderful LAUREN MENDELSOHN, the group kicked things off into THE STRATOSPHERE. But unlike that UPCOMING MOVIE about FAKING THE MOON LANDING, there was no fakery on stage, THE SWEATPANTS proved they were the REAL DEAL!

Kicking things off with the exuberant opener “GOT TO GET OUT” the band played so loud they couldn’t even HEAR THEMSELVES! Though we, the crowd sung along to every word! It may not have been HALLOWEEN, but there was nothing “SPOOKY” about the bands next song. The vibrant second song was used to introduce the boys in the band, AJ, DOM, JUSTIN, and SEAN.

Each member showed more confidence on their instrument this time around as opposed to their show at THE GRAPE ROOM. The crazy thing, that was their last show prior to this night. You couldn’t even tell especially with how TIGHT each member PLAYED. JUSTIN hadn’t even touched a DRUM KIT since FEBRUARY, but social services should be called for how he LAID DOWN THE BEATS ON THIS KIT. He even had an EXTENDED DRUM BREAK during “UPSIDE DOWN”.

The crowd reaction was STUPENDOUS all around. Many positives went towards the playing, and the fact that the originals are starting to have a DISTINCT SOUND! Many of course, praised THE EXCLUSIVE MERCH! AJ is a much-improved player, earning POSITIVE PRAISE from audience members, even if he DIDN’T SHOW IT, he played with EMOTION AND FEELING in EVERY NOTE!

DOM let loose solos like a BAT OUT OF HELL.  Shredding his guitar with ATTACK AND PRECISION so much so that even the guitar wanted to ESCAPE HIS CLUTCHES. During his signature “NEW MATERIAL” solo, A STRING BROKE! That didn’t stop DOM from playing at least two more songs! One of these included an epic “HIGH ON A PLANE” which brought the crowd to its knees.

As for SEAN, he’s becoming a more CONFIDENT FRONT MAN.  Joking with the crowd about TABBOO TOPICS such as 7/11. He even jumping into the crowd like SCOTT STAPP of CREED! While he was not taken “HIGHER”, he was drunker with confidence after a successful attempt at drinking a SHOT from an audience member.

Overall, this was a great experience for the BAND! Thank you, CHRIS, and THE RUSTY NAIL. I have heard rumblings that we had the LARGEST CROWD of the night, and we may be back! So, thanks to you THE FANS for always showing up! We will REWARD you in the end! With what? I KNOW, YOU DON’T!

SPECIAL THANKS- CHRIS, LAUREN MENDELSOHN, FALL AWAKE, BOVINE BANDITS, SONIC DOPAMINE and of course, THE RUSTY NAIL!

SHOW UPDATES

On Wednesday JUNE 5TH, FREELANCE SWEATPANTS, EXCELERATE AND RYAN GADS will play THE FIRE in PHILADELPHIA. This is NOT A DRILL people! This is our bands first show as a headliner of sorts.

The band has been hard at work, setting up a new base of operations at our BASS PLAYERS OPERATIONS.  That’s right, SEAN has temporarily decided to host the band. The band, including AJ, JUSTIN, and SEAN held the first jam session there on TUESDAY night of last week.

The band jammed classics including “GOT TO GET OUT”, “DAY IN/ DAY OUT”, and more! How did we accomplish this without DISTURBING THE PEACE? AJ brought a PORTABLE AMP and JUSTIN brought a swanky new ELECTRONIC DRUM KIT. The kit sounded great on every song they played including “SPOOKY” and our cover of “SAY IT AIN’T SO”.

Speaking of “SAY IT AIN’T SO”, this is not the only gig the band is prepping for. The band has another on APRIL 26TH at THE RUSTY NAIL in Ardmore!

The cool thing about BOTH THESE SHOWS, is that the owners are focused on us doing more ORIGINAL MATERIAL. While a cover or two could pop up, EXPECT AN EVENING WITH FREELANCE SWEATPANTS at BOTH SHOWS.

Now when are these gigs again?

SAY IT WITH ME:

APRIL 26TH– THE RUSTY NAIL ARDMORE (BETWEEN THE HOURS OF 9-10 PM)

JUNE 5TH– WITH EXCELERATE AND RYAN GADS- TIME TBD!

Some exciting stuff, and more coming soon! I KNOW, YOU DON’T what comes next.
