We have now joined the 21st Century and have a proper blog on Blogspot.com

Please check it out and follow us... or whatever you do on the world wide web these days....

 

Hey we got a write up in the Flagstaff Weekly for our show tonight. 

 

It compares us to a hooker at a Church Bakesale... it's pretty rad check it out:

LIVING IN A POSTCARD...    (Our new blog)

We have decided to join the 20th Century and begin keeping a Blog.

We will try to write interesting things that y'all want to read. A random assortment of Dutch oven recipes, hidden campsites, Landry's new art projects, and all the rad people we meet on the road.

 OUR NEW BLOG IS AT THE BOTtoM OF THE TOOL BAR ENTITLED:

LIVING IN A POSTCARD...

 It's a concept that predates the World Wide Web. It's some sort of Walt Whitman wanna be Jack Kerouacian compulsion to drive through the night and sleep on the side of the road with cars rushing past, afraid of bears, insane truckers, ghosts, or whatever, so that you can wake up in the morning and discover something new and distant, and feel like perhaps for that moment all your rushing was worth it, because you are living inside a postcard. 

Here's our postcard from this morning:

 

It was 22 degrees when we woke up this morning at a "roadside table," as we call it, somewhere outside Balmorhea TX. There was ice on the ceiling of the van and Landry and I were safe and warm sleeping in our clothes under two down blankets.

Lonesome Heroes "Don't Play to Lose" Music Video from Daniel Stolzman on Vimeo.

We woke up this morning and finally after 100,000 miles on the road we are famous!
REALLY FAMOUS!!!
Thanks world wide web...

Check out this awesome review of our new Music video from Austin's premiere Indie Rock news outlet/ purveyors of all that's cool: THE AUSTIN SOUND

January 5th, 2010
http://www.austinsound.net/2010/01/05/video-the-lonesome-heroes-dont-play-to-lose/
"The Lonesome Heroes are a wandering lot, so maybe we shouldn’t be too surprised that it took them about three years to make a video for “Don’t Play to Lose.” We give them a pass on the old tune, though, because the video is pretty great. How can you not love two adorable kids escaping from some hardcore bikers and bouncers?! It’s like Goonies II: Goonies in the City! Or something. Kudos to Daniel Stolzman of Frameless Films for directing the video, and to Rich Russell and Landry McMeans for wherever they dug up their younger counterparts. As for the Heroes themselves, they’ll be back in town after last month’s trek up into the north east for a gig at the Continental Club on Saturday, January 16 with Lil’ Cap’n Travis and Grand Champeen. Check out the video below:"

We are working on a new record this month due out in March for SXSW. Then, we'll be on the road again in February working our way west to California, and home via Wyoming.

Here are a few of our upcoming tour dates for February and March 2010. If you have any suggestions of where to play along the way, we'd love your input. See you on the back roads of Americia soon, and Keep on Keepin' on.

Howdy Y'all,

The New York City music video release and our east coast tour home were amazing. Despite breaking down in Nashville for 5 days, Helga, the star of our music video, made it home safe, and we even got a good country song out of it all.

Thank you to everyone that gave their time to help us with the music video, and a special thanks to Margo and Jeremy from Buffalo Clover and Lilly Hiatt for helping us out in Nashville, and to all the guys at Athens Imports for keeping the dream alive.

The NYC Video Release was so awesome. Thanks so Much To Danny Stolzman & Daryl Freemark at Frameless Films for all the amazing work.

Wow we are movie star! Landry and I make a cameo appearance in Erik Mauk's new film "Straight to the Bone."

Here's the story:
Jay and Shannon have been together since college. Now, both approaching 30, Shannon makes an understandable request for the ultimate commitment. Unfortunately, Jay does not see the need for such a legal definition of their relationship. Frustrated, Shannon seeks comfort in the arms of Blake - a new friend who seems to share her ideals about the future. Does she gamble on this new opportunity or stick it out with the one she loves - who may not be able to give her all she needs? Mauck weaves the always complicated story of relationships set against the backdrop of Austin, creating a film that also reads as a love song for the city in which it takes place.

We explain the logistics of Chicken Shit Bingo @ Ginny's Little Longhorn, then the characters come to the Hole in the Wall to watch our band play. It's really awesome!

The Film is showing at the Austin Film Festival this weekend.
