Great things are afoot!
Many announcements to make! Let's get to it!
Wayward!
We'd like to remind everyone that this Saturday, June 14th, 8pm, Vixy & Tony are playing again at the legendary Wayward Coffee House. This is Wayward's pre-Can't Stop the Serenity Screening Shindig, including a raffle and other special events. Wayward's calendar says 7:00 to 11:00, I'm reasonably sure that time frame covers the entire party, and that Vixy & Tony will be taking the middle 2 hours, from 8:00 to 10:00. If this turns out to be anything like last year's Shindig, it will be fantastic, with lots of great Browncoats mingling and lots of fun things happening. So come!
Behind the Music!
For those enjoying our Thirteen album, we have a particularly special treat for you today: Our first Behind the Music pages are up! We've got detailed stories about the songwriting and production of seven of the songs from the album. We'll announce here again as we finish and post more of them. Please enjoy them, and feel free to comment about them here in this thread. We'd love to hear what you think!
Soooooooooj!
Something we're particularly excited about, coming up in just over a month from now: Announcing two Vixy & Tony shows with Skinny White Chick! SWC is the duo consisting of the incredible SJ ("Sooj") Tucker and Betsy Tinney. We first met them at Conflikt 2008 earlier this year, and were absolutely floored by their captivating music and their energetic performances. We're honored to share the spotlight with them. Expect to see Vixy & Tony perform a decent-sized opening set before making way for SWC, but don't be surprised if you notice an extra Vixy-voice on some of SWC's songs. I hear Vixy has a tendency to grab microphones and harmonize without warning.
Sooj's music is a delightful combination of fantastic whimsy and slightly dark humor, and I truly believe that our songs are a perfect companion to her songs; similar enough to be attractive to the same kinds of people, but distinct and different enough to provide a delicious variety when absorbed in the same setting. I think that if our respective fan bases are given the chance to hear us both, we'll achieve complete fanbase unity. What could be more beautiful?
The first of the two V&T/SWC shows will be on Friday, July 11th, at the Horizon Temple at 1423 10th Avenue on Capitol Hill in Seattle. Although their calendar seems to think 7pm, I have it on good authority that it will actually be 8pm and that they just need to fix their calendar. When July rolls around, double check our schedule to be sure, but for now assume 8pm.
The second of the two shows will be the very next day, on Saturday, July 12th,definitely at 7pm updated to 5pm, at A Gathering Grove at 2820 Oakes Avenue, Suite C, in Everett. This will be the grand opening of this establishment, and we will help get them started on the right foot, with lots of energy and great music. Again, Vixy & Tony will do a set of just under an hour, then turn over the microphones to Sooj and Betsy. And probably Vixy, too.
Please come, everyone, it's going to be two very special nights!

No need to worry about your wife, just take up blacksmithing and robotics yourself. And get yourself a fancy screwdriver. :-)
