Hayfoot

Strawfoot — Sun, 18 Jul 2010 17:45:38 +0000

We’re thinking about doing a monthly video installment called the Hayfoot Sessions, playing our songs acoustically…maybe with a little back story if we’re feeling chatty…probably a two-song set per month, with the songs chosen by you…

Should we follow through with such endeavors, what songs would you like to hear?

NEXT STL SHOW!!!

William Elliott Whitmore. Strawfoot. What else need be said about the night?*

It’s one of those nights guaranteed to cause an ass to shake, a foot to stomp, a pair of hands to clap…

Come out for a Sunday Sermon like none other at the greatest venue on the face of the earth, Off Broadway…

*please note this event will, in all likelihood, sell out at the door. We recommend visiting Off Broadway’s website to purchase your tickets in advance. You have been warned.

Next Show!!!!!

It’s like DJango left his illegitimate kid with a band of bourbon-swilling gypsies on their way to play a show fer the devil himself.

Notes from an Angry Preacher

Five Years ago this month, Strawfoot convened in a murky, damp basement, soon to be littered with empty beer bottles and instrument cables for the very first time and began making music. It feels like a lifetime ago. In some cases, it was two or three lifetimes ago.

When I formed this band, I had an idea, a handful of rough songs scratched out on napkins and one homemade recording I would use to court and swoon the founding members of the band. It was rough, it was raw.

But it was the catalyst.

Here’s the most original of versions of one of the first songs in the Strawfoot library. A song that, until now, lived only in emails to a potential banjo player, guitarist, drummer, fiddler, harmonica player and bassist.

the sinner’s lament (raw demo)

Here’s to another five years…

See you at the next show, sinners.

It’s going to be one helluva a beer drinking, foot stomping, hand clapping, ass shaking night as Cutthroat Shamrock blows into town and shares the stage with us at FUBAR…Iron Mountain Orphans open the night…Cover’s a mere $8…21 and up only, sorry kiddos!

NEXT SHOW!

Screw the margaritas, folks—this Cinco De Freakin’ Mayo we’ve got something much, much better.

MIkey of 7 Shots is a’moving to La-La Land for a spell, but before he goes, we’re putting on one helluva show to send him off in style. A good bye for now show of sorts…

Strawfoot and 7 Shots for a night of drunken ruckus and all that…

Do come out and join us, won’t you?

NEXT SHOW!!!

Our guitarist is going on maternity leave here, soon. That means you won’t seeing Strawfoot out and/or about for a long, long time.

While we’re gone, we’ll be locked away working on new songs to both thrill and amaze.

But fear not, we wouldn’t vanish into the shadows without at least one more drunken ruckus of a night.

So come out THIS THURSDAY and see Strawfoot whilst you can. We’ll be joined by Peoria rock band, Water Street.

NEXT SHOW!!!!

Johnny Vegas and Stag Nite are back…and on February 3rd, Strawfoot will be there for two nice long sets with some old ones we don’t remember and some new ones we haven’t learned…

Box Wine Sirens are opening, and Vegas has threatened to treat us all to some mid-set uke…

He’ll also be serving cheap beer all night long.

There might even be a little candy-coated salvation…and bourbon…!

The venue is small, so get there early, lest it fills to capacity and you’re left out in the cold, sober and sad…

Stags are $1, and admission is $5.

Now on iTunes!

It’s the day after Thanksgiving…you’ve stuffed yourself with turkey, gravy, and copious amounts of family togetherness…

Sounds like you need a drink.

Join us Friday November 27th at the Deluxe in Maplewood for a night of booze-fueled music and mayhem.

We’ll be sharing the stage with Steamboat Willy, in their debut performance.

Put on your dancing shoes, your drinking caps and come on out to the Deluxe for a foot-stomping, hand-clapping, ass-shaking night with Strawfoot.
