Bees on the Vine CD Release Show

Thursday, April 14th, 2011

Dear Friends,

As many of you know, we have been working for a long time to record our first full length album. We’re incredibly excited about the finished product and can’t wait to share it with you! The official release date has been set for May 7.

To celebrate, we’ve got a killer show planned with American Sinner at the Red Palace (www.redpalacedc.com) in Northeast Washington DC. We’ll have copies of the CD for sale at the show for $10. If you can’t make it out to the show, we’ll have copies available through the milkmachine web store, iTunes, Amazon, etc. starting in June.

We hope to see you at the show!

On Tubas: Tonight’s DC9 Goodbye

Thursday, November 19th, 2009

Tonight, Milkmachine is opening for Hoots & Hellmouth at DC9.
Hoots & Hellmouth are going to be a ton of fun to play with and, needless to say, we are excited about this show.

Sadly, this will be the last time Milkmachine performs with the tuba we’ve been borrowing from our friend Jeff Mitchell over the past year. He’s playing music throughout the upcoming holidays, and his practices are picking up.

What does this mean for us? On to the next tuba, and a big thank you to Jeff. If you come out tonight, please think  of how he made this show possible. (Or you can think about him playing tuba while wearing a Santa hat and suspenders. I know I am.)

Stay tuned for future tuba news, and come see us tonight at DC9, 1940 9th St NW, one block from U St. metro. Milkmachine at 9 p.m. $12.
