Hello friends,

There's a lot going on right now. So much that we felt the need to get some emails out. We've just wrapped up our second national tour, five weeks in some of our nation's most hailed cities and as we return home to Philadelphia, there's plenty to tell you about.

Here's what we've got for you this week:
BP & LOTUS COHEADLINE THE TROC
BPRADIO.NET LAUNCHES
HAMILTON & MCKEE PERFORM IN NYC THIS WEEKEND
BIG F'ING BOAT TIX (05/22/04 in NYC)
BP CONTINUES STUDIO WORK
BP FEATURED ON SCOTTYPALUZA.COM
BROTHERS PAST & LOTUS CO-HEADLINE THE TROC ON APRIL 17
That's right!!! We couldn't be happier about returning to the stage in our native Philadelphia at the historic Trocadero Theatre!!! It's been almost four months since our last show in our hometown, and we're looking forward to this more than anything we've done all year. We're especially pleased to be joined onstage by our very good friends Lotus, also from Philly. This night is all about feeling good in hometown Philly. Don't miss it!!! -Click for tickets-

BPRADIO.NET LAUNCHES SUNDAY NIGHT (04/11/04) AT MIDNIGHT
Next week you will have yet another option for listening to Brothers Past. This Sunday night at midnight (04/11/04), in honor of our triumphant return to Philadelphia, we will be launching BPRadio - our very own 24-hour-a-day, 7-days-a-week streaming radio station!!!

Once the site launches, you'll be able to log into www.bpradio.net and listen to the most recent Brothers Past in realtime, with no downloads and no waiting. Special thanks to Mike Brown for putting the time and effort into making this site a reality! To help us celebrate the site's launch in true fashion, we have decided to have a contest to design a logo for the website. Submissions should be in JPG or EPS format and the text "BPRadio" should be included in the design in some way shape or form. Submissions are due by May 1 and can be submitted to mirrorashes1024@y... In addition to having their logo used on the website, the winner will receive two tickets for our Big F'ing Boat Cruise in NYC on May 22! Time's a wasting!

TOM HAMILTON AND TOM MCKEE BOTH PERFORM IN NYC THIS WEEKEND
Tom Hamilton and Tom McKee will both be performing in NYC this weekend, at the SYN PARTY at Club Coda. Hamilton and McKee will be performing as part of the SYNphony, which also includes Jesse Miller of Lotus on bass and Mike Greenfield formerly of the Ally on drums.

Hamilton will also be performing Saturday night at BB King's in Times Square with Electron (Marc Brownstein and Aron Magner of the Disco Biscuits on bass and keys, Joe Russo of the Russo/Bevenuto Duo on drums).

BIG F'ING BOAT TIX (05/22/04 in NYC)ARE ONSALE AND SELLING FAST!
Have you bought your tickets for the BIG F'ING BOAT yet? Well why the F NOT? We realize there are plenty of legitimate reasons why you haven't yet. Money's tight, plenty of great shows going on. Lots to do. Perfectly legitmate reasons. BUT THIS SHOW IS GOING TO SELL OUT FOLKS!!! Trust me on this one. It's OK to put it off, but if you put it off for too long, you're gonna get left on the dock. BETTER CATCH UP OR YOU'LL BE LEFT BEHIND. If you were on last year's boat you know there is nothing like seeing Brothers Past with New York City as a backdrop. Hell, even Jesse Jarnow enjoyed himself! Read his review.
Buy those tickets today!
BROTHERS PAST CONTINUES WORK ON NEW ALBUM
The band will continue work on the new album while performing on the East Coast in May. At this point most of the groundwork has been laid and the band will be cutting vocals and doing some overdubs to the tracks that are already in place before starting to mix. We'll keep you in the loop but so far the whole thing is kind of amazing!
