New Bass Player, new pics!

2010 February 8
by Gymshoes

I was trying to wait for the band’s official announcement, but it seems the Viper Room gig was the band’s official announcement: Jackie Joyride has joined the band on bass.  (Sally is pursuing a new exciting career opportunity. Whee!  Good luck, Sally!) I’ll change up the bio and band links in the sidebar (Bookmark all Sally’s ’cause they’ll be going away soon!) when I have a bit more time—and the banner photo when I get a new pic to use.

In the meantime, enjoy these photos of the Viper Room gig that the band posted on Facebook (public album).

…And give a big WELCOME to Jackie Joyride!! :-D

Happy New Year everyone! Just dropped in to let you know that Run Devil Run is playing The Viper Room Feb 5th along with Silent Treatment, Last Exit, & Hypnogaja.

Also there’s a big gig in Riverside coming up on the 23rd at The Mission Tobacco Lounge, 3630 University Ave Riverside, Ca. 92501 with a number of bands. Starts at 8pm…not sure when Run Devil Run hits the stage. $5 cover.

The band’s been working on a new album and 2010 will see its release. I’ll let you know as soon as I’ve got a release date. :-D

Thanks to the fan that caught the typo in the date that had been given to me! This post has been corrected accordingly.

From Dave:

RUN DEVIL RUN’s show scheduled for TONIGHT at Rockstarz in Bakersfield has been CANCELLED. A freak accident near the club has forced its closure. IF YOU KNOW ANYONE WHO WAS PLANNING TO COME, PLEASE PASS THIS MESSAGE ALONG FOR ME. …I’ll be reaching out to as many people as possible but I want to make sure that no one makes the trip unnecessarily. THANK YOU for understanding.

I have no further info except a tweet saying it was cancelled due to “a freak accident in the complex where the venue is located”. But really, what more do you need to know? No show. :-(

Roadrunner Records promo thing!

2009 September 18

Run Devil Run has a shot at getting  signed to Roadrunner Records. The label has artist pages with tracks, areas to rate and evaluate songs. The idea is that people who listen to music will act as “talent scouts” and tell the label who’s worth signing. Basically, this is a way bands with the most committed fan base get ahead. ;-) So, sign up to be a “talent scout”, and help RDR land the deal. :-) Don’t want to sign up for anything? Well, just listening over and over gets the playcount up, effectively conveying interest in the band. Here’s what the band says:

hey all you SEXY devils we are participating in a ROADRUNNER records promotion to get signed and we need your help!

go to this link and help us get our play count up and if you really really want to help us out sign up to be a roadrunner record scout and write reviews and and rate us!
thanks a million billion
-RDR

Oddly, enough there are only 3 of the 5 songs on the EP that are featured on the page. “California” and “Beautiful Being” were inexplicably left off. This may handicap the band somewhat as those are the two best songs on the album (IMHO) and “California” is the sure-fire hit single….so when asked which song would be the best single you can’t actually vote for the best single, if, like me, you think “California” is a no-brainer instant hit. :roll: But of course, once the band gets signed (which is what they need fan support there for) the label can pick any song they like. (If they’re like most labels, they always have the last word on money decisions.)

Here’s some video from the recent (Sept 4th) Viper Room gig Run Devil Run played. Sound quality is so-so, but picture quality is excellent and it’s shot from so close that the point-of-view of the camera is almost on-stage.
