...And We're Back

Hey ya'll, it's been a while. This is the first post in over a month. And before that you may have noticed there wasn't anything really Verona Red related since November.

Why you ask?

Well, 2011 was a whacky year (1 new record, 3 tours, 10 SXSW shows, our first Summergasm, and a whole bunch of stuff (Doritos) I don't remember anymore).

A vacation was in order, so that's exactly what we did. It's the first one we've ever taken, so we used the opportunity to do all things we've missed out on like...

Throwing back a few Green Rivers

Wearing Christmas sweaters

Visiting New Orleans

Indulging ourselves

Wearing socks

Getting felt up at a wedding

Hanging out with the guy from the Men's Warehouse commercials (back of head with the bald spot)

Beer-festing

Growing mullets

And most importantly... writing new music... okay so I guess it wasn't really a full-on vacation...

Anyway, it's good to be back in the swing of Verona Red things. We're feeling cheery and well-rested, and hoping you are all doing well too. Thank you for coming back. We missed you.

We've got some big announcements in the next few days, so keep your eyes affixed to this page please.

Beat Kitchen (Chicago, IL) - 6/26/2010

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU to everyone who came out this past Saturday to share in the good times.

Performing "No Way Home" in a whole new way after working on the recording for 2 months was a blast.  We posted a video of the performance in case you weren't there OR in case you were there but were just too drunk to remember...(you know who you are).



It was also a pleasure to play with our new friend Adam Knoernschild in Chicago for the first time, and to share the stage with our old friend Tony Focht one last time.

Here's some more pics from the night.  Thank you to several of our fans for posting these to Facebook and tagging us so I could easily find and steal them :)

Finally, I want to take my hat (and pants) off to the bands that opened up the night.  Please do check out My My My (http://www.myspace.com/iluvmymymy), The Ivorys (http://www.myspace.com/theivorys) and Camera (http://www.myspace.com/camerachicago)

They all put on a great show and were a treat to watch.

To all you Chicagoans, Verona Red wishes you a hot and sweaty summer.  Here's hoping its full of blackouts and sun burns!

Can't wait to bring you some NEW MUSIC this fall!
