Melissa Black, who is an amazing photographer, has just written up a review of the September 13th show at the Catalyst in Santa Cruz, CA.
Based on her review of Suburban Legends, she seems to have been aware of them prior to the show, but you can tell from her tone that she is more of a Reel Big Fish fan.
Her photos from the event are great and her description of the “wild guitar battle” between Aaron Barrett and Brian Klemm is hilarious. I wish I could have seen that interaction at one of the shows as both of them are such amazing showmen.
Be sure to check out her other reviews and photos and wish her luck studying abroad.
East Coast, are you ready for some Suburban Legends lovin?
Bowling for Soup is currently on their UK Tour until the end of October. Once they return to the states, they will take a short break and in November begin a 2 week East Coast tour. Although neither band has officially confirmed it, it has leaked on several of the venue’s sites that Suburban Legends will be joining them for at least part of the 2 week tour, most likely the entire November tour. I assume this because Suburban Legends is confirmed for the first 2 days of the tour and one of the last days, so I doubt that they would go for the beginning, leave, and then come back at the end of the tour.

The October schedule for Disneyland’s Tomorrowland Terrace is out and Suburban Legends is on it! Although no longer under the moniker TLT Dance Club, Suburban Legends will be playing as part of the “Tomorrowland Terrace Presents:” on October 23rd and October 24th at the typical times of:
MTV Networks has just announced an upcoming service for Rock Band called the Rock Band Network. This service will help bands create and release tracks that are compatible with Rock Band and allow fans to rock out to their favorite artist no matter who they are. But let’s be clear, this is not a fan service, it is entirely up to the band to take control and produce the tracks. It will be a lot of work, but they will be able to gain a little profit (only 30% of sales), but more importantly, they will be able to gain more popularity via another medium.
So, of course I would love to see Suburban Legends take advantage of this service. I’m already so starved for something like this I’ve uploaded some songs into the Xbox game “Lips” so I could sing karaoke to their music. But who wouldn’t want to belt it out like Vince or drum along with Derek, or strum like Mikey or Brian on those plastic guitars. Sorry no plastic horn instruments, yet. Read the rest of this entry »
Still photos are all fine and good, but the real magic of Suburban Legends comes from their overall performance, from the dance routines, playful banter, and let’s not forget the music. Suburban Legends always puts on a good show and they are not afraid to experiment with the crowd. Their performances at TLT Dance Club were no exception and the videos I was able to find on YouTube include singing to a Disney cast member on their birthday and drum solos while blindfolded as well as exceptional music.

One week after Suburban Legends’ performances on June 12th and 13th at Tomorrowland Terrace, enough photos have been posted to merit a blog post. There isn’t a lot of photos, but the few that have crawled in are quite good quality. I spent a few days crawling around Flickr and Picasa, and was able to find that as apparently no SL fans like Picasa, but there are a few Flickr users who are SL fans. Read the rest of this entry »
Disneyland News has posted a press release regarding some new Disneyland events scheduled for this summer, as part of their Summer Nightastic including the TLT Dance Club, which is being billed by Disney as “the night when Tomorrowland Terrace emits a neon glow as local radio DJs and live bands provide tunes that your whole family will enjoy.” We already know Suburban Legends is the first band that will be performing at the TLT Dance Club on June 12 and June 13, but Disneyland News also let it leak that they would be returning July 3 and July 4 (Independance Day). But wait there’s more! Read the rest of this entry »
Suburban Legends fans have been waiting eagerly for their performances at Disneyland this Friday and Saturday. But Suburban Legends have played at Disneyland hundreds of times, so this might end up being somewhat anticlimactic. Why? Because from what I’ve been reading on message boards and on twitter, what fans are looking forward to the most is the new lineup, and what fans are going to see on Friday and Saturday isn’t necessarily the new line up, but probably just their temporary line up.
