Rotary Downs Last show of 2009

Friday, December 18th | 10pm door | 11pm show | BOGO drinks ‘til midnight | $5 cover | 18+
Republic, 828 S. Peters...


Well this is it. Rotary Downs' last show of 2009. It has been an amazing year, as they keep getting better. We started this year off w/ a gig in Cannes France. Then in Feb played the 7th annual Not So Super Super Hero Party, and followed that up in March with multiple gigs and showcases at SXSW in Austin. Come April we played our 3rd Jazz Fest in a row, and later that month ended up winning Gambit Weekly's "Best Rock Band" for the 2nd year in a row beating out some amazing other musicians.

2009 brought the recording process into a finer light, and a light that could shine hope on the end of the road for the new album. What had been a struggling 3 year process, now sees 2010 as a new year for a new record. We have tentatively set the national release date for February, and this just announced here - will play our CD Release Party for the album on March 5th at One Eyed Jacks in New Orleans. Stay tuned for more details

But for this last show on December 18th...join us for some fun, some classic RD tunes, and some surprise covers.

Don’t miss the highly anticipated ‘A Christmas Story’ Throwback featuring Rotary Downs, a cheesy Christmas sweater contest, professional pictures with Santa, and buy-one-get-one-free drinks until midnight! Rotary Downs and their special Christmas choir will perform originals and 80s/90s covers while dressed in cheesy Christmas sweaters, and the 80’s holiday classic ‘A Christmas Story’ will play on the big screen all night. Yule definitely want to wear some type of holiday attire. Everyone in a cheesy Christmas sweater will get a free drink ticket at the door, and the best sweater as judged by the audience will win a Throwback slap bracelet, sweatband, and $30 bar tab plus a Rotary Downs CD, DVD, and T-shirt! We’ll also have a professional photographer to take your picture with Santa, Mrs. Clause, and an elf in a winter wonderland! Plus, come early to get buy-one-get-one-free domestic beers and well drinks until midnight! Everyone can also get $2 “Eggnog” shots ($1 with a Throwback Slap Bracelet) at the bar by the door. As always, enjoy $2 High Life and $4 wells, solve a Rubik’s Cube for a free tab, and play the Throwback arcade with 40 retro games all night! Be one of the best-dressed, and we'll also take your Polaroid and put it on the Throwback Wall of Fame. You'll get a $20 bar tab for each Throwback that your picture stays up!

Mixing it Up

Right about now, the two J's are at our boy Ivan Klisanin's home in Lafayette, mixing/tweaking/patching/poking songs for the next Rotary Downs record. If you dont' remember Ivan, he was the savior of "Chained to the Chariot", producing, recording, and doing final mixes on most of the tapes we had after we scurried West from Hurricane Katrina.

We are happy to be back there, allowing Ivan to see 'how far we've come'. baby.


SEE YOU ON TUESDAY
