Catch Up Time

After the Redcoats most interesting run of shows:

-being the only retro pop act on an other wise rap-rock bill
-Monday night show in Athens with the Whigs and Modern Skirts in attendance
-first acoustic gig
-random bouts with gout
-etc.

...we ended it in the most awkward way possible. Covering Biz Markie. With Beau rapping. Wearing a 17/18th century style wig and genuine authentic redcoats. Brilliant. Anyways '500 Songs For Kids' went over very well, with big help from a receptive and boisterous audience. I wish we had a picture of Beau, because I doubt he will be brave enough to try that again. But pictures of Hoffman are always crowd pleasers, so here ya go!















Anyhoo, stay tuned for more info on upcoming shows and new recordings. Til then...
