We put the record out and it opened some doors for us. It got some good reviews and made a year end list. To some people this is their favorite album of ours.
I thought it would be fun to revisit these songs, so we’re inviting some friends and playing the album in full.
Saturday June 20th at The Mill at Rockdale Tickets here
We keep doing this out of sheer brotherhood and camaraderie. We hope to see you there.
*3 if you count Glitter and Fleas
We have a new song out. We recorded it with Fred Mascherino (Taking Back Sunday/The Color Fred) and our old pals Bob and Dan McGlinchey. We also had Chris Sheehan from one of our all time favorite bands Johnny Action Figure play piano and sing on it.
It was fun to do this. We just recently celebrated the 20th anniversary of our first show, which is very strange because we only ever planned to do that one show. But then we kept getting asked to do shows and kept going. And then little opportunities came up.
It’s still like that now. We get asked to do something, if everyone can do it we do it. Sometimes we get paid and then we put that money into recording a song. It’s how we ran our band when we were teenagers and I guess we never changed.
Some people might disagree but I think we have a sound. And that sound comes from the chemistry we have together and when we were recording this it felt like no time had passed.
If you listen to this and like it, please share it with someone.
Hey y’all,
We don’t update this as much as we should. We are more active on Instagram follow us @the.tressels for more frequent updates.
We recorded 2 new songs, our first new material in 10 years. It’s very exciting and it felt like no time had passed. Looking like a mid-summer release.
We have 2 upcoming shows with our pals Die Tired
Saturday, May 17th at The Watertower in Oaks, PA & Friday, July 11th at The Rusty Nail in Bryn Mawr, PA
The last time we played the Rusty Nail the woman before us sang an acappella version of Sarah Mcglaughlin’s in the arms of the angels and broke down crying. Fun times.
Finally, we did a session we the awesome crew at Cart Studio in West Philly. It turned out great and I really like the songs we chose. We’ve been having so much fun with this 3 guitar lineup of the band I think this is a great showcase of our power and fortitude.
Thanks for hanging with us through these many years ✌️❤️ Butch
In honor of Butch Tressels 40th Birthday in April, The Tressels will be reunited for 2 massive nights of Rock N Roll!
