Lilith Fair - Update

The band just received this email... pretty sad, as I'm sure it's all due to poor ticket sales.  If you're interested in reading more, check out this story in Slate: "Why do we need Lilith Fair anyway?"

Dear Artists,
==========
We regret to inform you that Lilith has confirmed that they have canceled the following 10 upcoming shows: Salt Lake City (7/12), Montreal (7/23), Raleigh (8/4), Charlotte (8/6), West Palm Beach (8/10), Tampa (8/11), Birmingham (8/12), Austin (8/14), Houston (8/15) and Dallas (8/16).

The winners of the Montreal, Raleigh and Charlotte dates are being notified and offered tickets to the Lilith tour stop of their choice. These acts will also be invited to join Sarah McLachlan, as well as the headling acts of their selected date, on stage for the evening's finale.

Winners have not been selected for the remaining canceled dates nor have they been determined for Toronto. As of now, no decision has been made regarding whether or not Lilith will determine would-be "winners" for the canceled dates. We hope to inform you after the holiday weekend.

Thank you for your patience, Ladies.

Tribella : OurStage : Lilith Fair!

You can help Tribella play this year's Lilith Fair by joining OurStage and voting. This is cooler than most contests, where the winners are determined by how many friends & fans can click a link over and over to vote for the band. This contest is designed to allow the best music to rise to the top.  It works like this: you listen to at least 15 seconds of each song and then determine by how much you like one song over the other. In sort-4 judging, you listen to 4 songs and then put them in order from favorite to least favorite.  Judging is actually pretty fun, I've already spent a decent amount of time doing it and have discovered some cool new music...

"My Guest List" came in 3rd (out of 100's of songs) in March in the indie-rock channel (hell yeah!). Help us get "When It Comes To You" in the top 20 to move on in the Lilith Fair competition.

Go to: www.ourstage.com, select "Judge," then "Lilith Fair Competition," then select "Austin, Dallas, Houston" and get to work!

Thanks, guys.  We seriously appreciate your support!

Yanagi

The awesome Mopac roll at a new great sushi spot in Austin called
"Yanagi" (translation: Willow). I was seriously craving sushi by the
end of tour so this was a necessary and splendid meal! Domo
arigatomashita, Yanagi. Oishikatta desu, yo!

ATX Show!

We had a nice evening at Momo's, our first show on our home turf in
quite some time. Thanks to Paul for having us and to everyone who
stuck around (12:30am start time can be a bit tricky)... Photo credit

Tri's & Chad

Thanks so much to Chad for treating us so well! You made our night
that much better ;) PS, previous picture credit to Dave (thx!)

Two Stick!

We had a great time playing at Two Stick in Oxford, and were even
featured in both local papers... Awesome!

Barbie-fied Bike

Whoa! Never seen anything quite like this...

Beale St, #2

View from BB Kings

We had awesome pulled pork sandwiches at B.B. King's restaurant.

BBQ & Beale St

Rae and I headed to Beale St for some BBQ and people watching, while D
visited with her family.

Elvis in Memphis

Memphis in May

They were setting up for Memphis in May (3 day music fest) along the
Mississippi...

Bars, Blisters, & Beyond

In addition to getting locked upstairs above the Basement behind bars,
(Thank you Mike for saving me) I also got a blood blister from loading
the trailer for the 44th time this month. Ouch! (Dena here yo!)

The Rouge

The Rouge playing right before us at The Basement. They're from Denver
and sounded pretty cool. Front guy evoked some Jeff Buckley... And I
enjoyed talking to the drummer & bespectacled guitarist :-) good luck,
guys!

Dena & Chris

Dena & Chris, pre-show convo.

The Basement is Cool.

Rain & hail tour

In Nashville... With our sweet guide and host, Eden.

I keep telling

Rae & Dena to be nicer to me - they will benefit, too!

Nashville shopping

For the bean! Pretty cute! ;-)

Shopping in Nashville

Katie K's in Nashville

Rae's new T

Rae's bro-in-law had this shirt ready for Rae upon arriving in
Nashville. Nice! Attempting to talk her into wearing it tonight for
the show but have a ways to go...

TN Elements

View down I-40, approx 90 miles east of Nashville. Today has been our
longest haul, 9 hrs from Charleston to Nashville. The route was
extended because I-40 was closed through Asheville so we took
highways... resulting in our stop in the cute tourist map dot, Hot
Springs, nestled deep in the Appalachian hills.

We want to also thank Rae's sweet cousin, Cindy, for her hospitality
in Charleston. And we're so glad it worked out for you to see the
(late and loud) show!

Tri's with Erin

Erin, the groovy sweet bartender @ Tin Roof (we hope you enjoy your
schwag!)

Tin Roof we heart u

Tin Roof, thank you! We had a great evening and think you all are
really nice & cool and we will be really happy to come back through!
Shouts out to Mike (great sound), Leslie, & Erin. And Harrison Ray and
Jim sounded terrific opening...

Fleets Landing, interior

Fleets Landing

We had fancy drinks at Fleets Landing, per Leslie's (Tin Roof
bartender) suggestion. A very talented musician played great acoustic
stuff with a Boss RC50 (crazy looping pedal I have, but that has
collected too much dust as of late).

US Custom House

Beautiful historic building on the waterfront in Charleston.

CCPL

Quick stop @ Charleston Public Library (free wi-fi).

Charlestown, NC

Charlestown is incredibly charming.

The Wavos

Rae & Joey

At Drink! Rockin out to The Wavos, an awesome cover band from NYC
playing a Smiths song Right Now. Nice!

Gerry Leonard

We walked into Drink! and much to our delight, they were playing a
David Bowie DVD. Of course, we like him. A lot. -but- what was cooler,
was seeing Gerry Leonard playing some smokin coo spooky ghost
guitar... I've been lucky to meet & hear Gerry play with Duncan Sheik.
One of my faves. Tasty, tasty, tasteful...

Vista #2

Put put [sic] miniature golf course, view #2.

Putt putt putt putter's Dee-lite!

This is an artistic vista of the most ginormous put-put golf course
located next to Drink! in Myrtle Beach. It took our breath away
(literally).

Hamish

Erin & Owen's super cute and playful pup.

Back that thang up!

That Sarah Glynn, she can back that thang up down a 10 mile gravel road!

I think we're ready

Stage pre-show at Rocket Club. Looks & sounds good per sound check.

Chocolate Lounge

Yes! Fantastic idea, Asheville. Our lovely hosts, Erin & Owen,
introduced us to Asheville's cocoa decadence.

Double espresso + large coffee

And why, yes - I do believe I'm waking up... Hello world and happy
Friday. Now off to Asheville. C'mon now, Ms. Element. You can take
those Blue Ridge Mountains!!

Erin Brown

Opening at Broad Street Cafe in Durham... Thanks so much to everyone
for making it a fun show. We can't wait to come back through. Cheers,
Durham! You ain't so bad ;-)

Snake City

Erin & Owen took us for a journey in downtown Asheville... AND... We
found this Sssssnake on the street!!!! It was 3 feet long!

Durham funeral park

We pulled into Durham, and swiftly found parking at a funeral home
across the street from venue. But the venue quickly told us we had
better park at the salon instead of the funeral home so I promptly
moved our tour vehicle.

White House Night Cap

Jen, Michael and I hustled up the street because I really, really wanted a picture in front of the White House.  (Rae & Shawna waited for the cab).  So check this out - pretty awesome, eh?!?  Thanks Jen & Michael for helping to make this happen :)  And thanks again to Kim & Rick for their hospitality... Kim, we hope to catch up with you again in Myrtle Beach.  We really can't wait to make it back to WDC - what an awesome, fun time we've had.

Private Humidors

Lease a private humidor at Shelly's.  This is fancy, folks.

Shelly's Cigar Bar

We headed over to Shelly's Back Room, just down the street from Ceiba's.  Jen quickly spotted a news anchor (but his name escaped us all)... this is clearly a happening WDC spot.  Michael took this photo.

Red Snapper Head

When ordering the red snapper, I didn't envision I would be so lucky to be served the head and all!  The eyeballs were a little chewy and the teeth were a no-go, but everything else went down nice & easy... the pickled jalapenos made the dish.  Yum! = Totemo oishikatta, desu yo!

Sarah + Russian Lady

The Russian lady appeared again at Ceiba while we were waiting for our table and so I kindly posed for a photo with her.  I'm sure this made the Russian lady's entire evening!
