I decided to start a thread for the Palominos. They are a Richmond-based band managed by our very own Brandon Crowe. Last Friday night several E-Trainers got to hear this band at Toads (see Lights, Camera, Action thread) and really enjoyed them. I had already been to a couple of their shows. This band also had the opportunity to go to the 6th Annual Langerado Music Festival by obtaining enough votes and the E-Train helped. :rocker:

Here’s their myspace bulletin.

cool review - the only thing he left out was "Thanks to Brandon Crowe for bringing together such an awesome showcase to a great venue" - thanks for finding that!

I know, what's up with that.

Great find and a great night! Go Brandon! :rocker:

Okay, I'm becoming the "Nancy" of the Palominos thread. :rotfl:

Memoirs of a Blogger : Langerado Day 1

First stop was the winner of the Sonicbids voting for who would open the festival. Palominos played a tight set that consisted of entertaining southern rock and they gave me a free CD after the show {which is always an easy way to win over the press.

dang, he liked them - and he didn't like much - LOL! That says a lot!

:rotfl: :fangirly:

Langerado Day 1: Wading Through The Muck


Of course, this sense of unity is only aided by a killer music lineup. The first day of Langerado was a relatively low key event, and the rain didn’t help much. Opener Ben Jelen was forced to cancel his set because the stage was underwater, but both Dead Confederate and Palominos were able to turn in inspiring sets despite the conditions.

:rocker:

Wow! You're good! :rocker:

Thank you Master, I, Grasshopper, try hard :rotfl:

:rotfl:

omg :rotfl: :rotfl:

I would love to see them live, and am so proud of the band, everyone who voted to get them there, and of Brandon;)

and HW, I always saw you more of the Cricket type.....

they are so much cooler than Grasshoppers!! heheeee;) :rocker:

Palominos will be playing The National on Aug. 22nd

I will have some tickets for sale with me at our show with Josh Hoge at the

Canal Club. Unless you know someone, getting your foot in the door at The

National is a hard thing to do. We'd appreciate it if you can make it.

Tickets are $12.

Thanks!

Okay, I responded in the Josh Hoge thread but just in case, my sister and I will be there. We LOVE the Palominos. Save me 2 tickets B-Man. Thanks!

ETA: I forgot. :rocker: :rocker: :rocker: :rocker:

I just listened to this band for the first time! They rock! :rocker:

Palimonos were great at The Natiional the past Friday night. I was so excited when I saw my favorite song on their playlist. We were standing up front of course so I could actually read it. LOL. I had said something to Trey (lead singer) earlier about wanting to hear it. Don't know if it was already planned or not but I'm going to say it was there for me. That's my story and I'm sticking to it. :rotfl:

My sister calls the lead guitarist Mike "guirtar man". So during one song Trey leaned over and said something to Mike during a guitar solo. Next thing you know they came to the front of the stage and played right to her. She was so stoked. I loved it. So that's her story and she's sticking to it. :rotfl:

Hey, if you ever get a chance to listen to these guys, they are great.
