Bernie's Show - January 20, 2009



On Tuesday, January 20, 2009, we played a show at Bernie's with Harp and Lyre, Red Sun, and Braille from Youngstown. It was a really fun show, and with the generous assistance of our drummer E-rock's friend, "Carlos" we were able to get the whole show on video.

~Keep in mind that although Carlos is actually a professional cameraman, he may have had a few drinks, or maybe he was just really into the music, but... Well, just imagine that you are watching through the eyes of an inquisitive old cat, creeping around the bar. A cat with rather poor perception of low frequencies and low lighting.

The Neighbors' Chrysalis



We would like to wish a very happy New Year to all of you Neighbors fans!

As of 2009, the Neighbors have undergone another Chrysalis. Things have come full circle now with the amazing Eric Summers taking over as our full-time drummer. We have also been working with multi-instrumentalist Parker Bantum in the studio. Long time jam companion Parker Bantum will be contributing his guitar tracks, vocals, and song-writing abilities to our ever-changing protean sound. We've been getting a lot of enthusiastic feedback on our new lineup, and it's going to be a great year.

Here's a little taste of our new sound with E-Rock laying down some jazzy beats over Comforter and Code for Love from our set at the Buckeye TV studio for their Music on Campus show. It was 50's Night, so we dressed up like greasers and jocks and such. It was a lot of fun.

Special Thanks to Danielle Coppe, the director of the Music on Campus show, for inviting us.
