The Syracuse Area Music Awards--aka THE SAMMYs--take place tonight, March 6th, at The Palace Theatre in Syracuse. The show starts at 7:00 pm, and it will include live performances from Brass Inc, London McDaniel, Nate Gross, Stephen Douglas Wolfe, and newly-inducted SAMMYs Hall of Famers the New York Flyers.
Dana and I are honored to have been invited to present the award for Best Alternative, and we thank our friend Carol Thoryk O'Leary for extending that invitation to the lousy likes of us. The nominees in this category are Boustrophedon (for WINTER//STEEL [Remixes]), Clove (for after everything, mistrials (for The Culture Cool-Aid EP), Porch Couch (for Free), and Tame The Giant (for Second Hand Sound). We'll also be there in the audience to cheer for our pal Susan Coleman (of This Is Rock 'n' Roll Radio Fave Raves Harmonic Dirt), as Susan is recognized with the Jack O Bocchino Spirit Of The SAMMYs Award. Well deserved!
