DUNNERY ANNOUNCES BAND LINEUP FOR THE U.K. FEARLESS TOUR 8/19/2010
From FrancisDunnery.com:
"The band will consist of Jamie Bishop on bass guitar, David Sancious on keyboards, Tony Beard on drums and Dorie Jackson on backing vocals. The band will also be assisted electronically by Aquarian Nation artist John Gilmour Smith.
"This is a pretty intense band" says Dunnery "The Fearless CD stretches from beautiful textures to extremely aggressive fusion Rock music so I need a band who can stretch that far and remain authentic. You can't teach people this stuff, you either 'is' or you 'isn't' "
Dunnery teams up once again with 'New Progressives' bass player Jamie Bishop who has established himself as one of the best musicians on the New York session circuit. " Jamie's very musical and he always comes well prepared so I don't have to think much when we are rehearsing. He will fit in perfectly with this band. His bass playing is flawless"."

PROCRASTINATION=LOTS OF EXCITING NEW HAPPENINGS
8/6/2010
Oops. Can't believe I let 8 months go by without an update! Well I'll try to give a quick summation of what's been goin' down in Jamietown:
The Tall Blonde Helicopter DVD is now available for pre-order on Francis Dunnery's website! It's been in post-production for a while, but early reviews say the wait was worth it. I'm also excited to announce that I'll be joining Francis on his "Fearless" Tour in the U.K. this October. I'm working on a new tour dates page on which I'll be sure to post the tour schedule.
John's new record "Pigeon Vision" is finished, and will be released online soon. Check John's website for updates.
Anna's Debut LP "Nomad" is now available in stores and on iTunes. Check the gigs page for upcoming show dates.
The Prigs are soon going into the studio to begin work on a new EP. Those of you that keep asking for a recording of "Let's Make a Video" will soon have one. :)
So that's a bit of what's happening. I'll have a page up on this site soon with my tour and gig dates, I'm not really using Myspace much anymore. Myspace is so 2006 anyway.
FUTURE TIME 2010/L.A. ANNA ROSE SHOW/EICHLEAY RECORD
1/9/2010
Happy New Year! 2010 is sure to be a great year since there were plenty of 80's sci-fi films that took place in 2010, meaning soon we'll be waist deep in time travel, aliens, spaceships, and gigs. We've just finished tracking basics for the forthcoming John Eichleay record here in NYC. West coasters can catch Anna Rose playing in L.A. at The Hotel Cafe this Tuesday January 12 at 7pm. Lots of other great stuff is in the works for 2010 (not time travel that I know of), so stay tuned.
ROBERT PLANT JOINS US ON STAGE!

Robert Plant of Led Zeppelin fame joined us on stage to lend his vocals to "Calling To You," a tune of his we had been covering on tour and on the new record. It was an incredible end to an outstanding tour! Stay tuned for state-side dates with Dunnery.
