Happy New Year! We hope everyone had a safe and happy
holiday season. We have a lot of cool events coming
up to help get you through the winter months.
UPDATE!!!! Wow! We're really pleased with how
the Chronicle piece came out. Everything looked and
sounded great! If you missed it, here's a link to it
up on youtube:
NH CHRONICLE First up, we're extremely excited
to announce that
WMUR Channel 9's NH Chronicle will be doing
a feature on the band. On-air personality Sean
McDonald was out last month interviewing and filming us at
our "day jobs". They're following up with some filming
at a show. To accommodate their schedule we've added a
special show on January 12 at the 11th Frame Lounge (at the
Dover Bowl) in Dover. Thanks to Mark and our friends
at the 11th Frame for helping us out! It's a school
night so we'll be starting early 8:30-10:30ish.
Tickets are $5 and available in advance at the Dover Bowl,
Ralph's House of Tone,
or at the door the night of the show. We'd love to
have a great crowd out for the filming, so come on out and
get your weekend started early, you might end up on TV!
PENGUIN PLUNGE 2012 It wouldn't be winter without
one of our favorite events of the year, the NH Special
Olympics Penguin Plunge. For those not familiar with
the Plunge, it's the 13th year for this event that regularly
raises over half a million dollars for NH Special Olympics.
Several hundred brave souls take pledges to make a
mid-winter jump into the Atlantic Ocean. We've been
the featured entertainment at the past 6 Plunges and it
gets better every year. Many people have asked us how
they can help out, make a donation or even Plunge
themselves. Here's some information from NHSO:
"Registration for the 2012 Penguin Plunge is now open! The
theme this year is Viva Las Vegas! This is the 13th
annual Penguin Plunge and we urge you to get involved or
even contribute to our page.
Grab your friends, form a “Flock” (a group of 5 or more
Plungers), and start raising money to benefit the Special
Olympics. Then you can join us on the day, Plunge and
celebrate a great cause!
If you are interested in Plunging (or raising money and not
Plunging!), you can download the information
here or contact Rachael at (603) 624-1250."

Firstgiving Page and make a pledge!
LOOKING AHEAD Lots of opportunities to catch us
out over the winter. We'll be at Willy's in Acton in
January and March. We're returning to the Rochester
Elks on Saturday, February 11th for our LOVE STINKS II show! St. Patrick's Day falls on a
Saturday this year and we'll be at the Dover Brickhouse
(scene of several memorable St. Patty's Day shows).
And don't forget Kelley's on the last Saturday of the month
through May.
SUMMER PARTIES It's never too early to start
thinking about booking the Soup for your summer functions.
Contact Gary at 603-591-3689 for available dates.
NEW SONGS Our 15 year anniversary may be over,
but we're still working on new tunes. We've got
several new ones in the works, but managed to get one in for
the holidays:
The Power of Love - Huey Lewis and The News
