We have a few videos from our performance at the CBGB festival last month. We would like to thank Gary Weber for sticking around and filming us even though he wasn't obligated to do so.

In other news we have a show this upcoming Saturday at Legion Lounge. Unfortunately, we will be down by one amp, as my old bassman is in the shop being repaired. It was a crazy week with both amps deciding to throw temper tantrums. Luckily, we got one back, and we can rock pretty hard through just one amp. So, come on by and catch what will be a unique show!
With only two shows between now and August 27th, we've been focusing hard on writing new songs. Although, we won't release our demos, you can be sure that you'll hear these songs in our next batch of shows. In the meantime you can take comfort that we will be playing July 28th at Legion Lounge with some great bands. We'll also be releasing our tour dates early next week, so make sure to check back for that.
We would like to thank all those who came out and danced the night away with us. It was an awesome night, and Providence is a great town! We can't wait to go back. We nabbed this little photo before the show:
Who knew Providence was the Venice of the USA?
That being said, don't take your party hats off! Isle of Rhodes will be performing this friday for a CBGB festival showcase. Check out all the details here.
We have a show coming up in Providence, RI this Saturday. So, if you've been digging our music, but haven't had a chance to catch us live because you don't live in New York, you can finally see us perform! Check out the details here.
Also we recieved another nice piece on us by joonbug.com.
"Isle of Rhodes is one such band that engages with the quirky but cool side of Brooklyn. They have a fun up beat sound that will make any grumpy old man tap his feet.... Their music is familiar but keeps you wanting more. We were lucky enough to sit down with the band and have a chat about their roots..."

Check out The Deli's review of "All Rivers and Oceans." It sounds like they like us.
"From opener 'Oceans' (streaming) to the stomping 'Eyes Like The Sun,' Farren paints a world of surf and sand where one experience melts into the next, and innocent pleas against change get washed away with the next tide. Wherever Isle of Rhodes take you, it's usually an elevated place to match the screeching alto Farren has mastered."
Also, don't forget to check us out this Saturday night at Don Pedro. If you can't make it there, don't worry as we are playing the CBGB festival on July 6th.
This weekend is a big long weekend of music. First you can catch us at Lit Lounge this Friday. If you miss us that's no big deal because you can catch us play The Waterfront Brooklyn Beer Festival on Saturday afternoon. Lastly, if you live in Connecticut, you can see us as we play in Guilford Saturday night.
We have a few shows coming up after this weekend too. We'll be playing Don Pedro on Saturday the 23rd with The Inns, and The Fearless. After that we have a show up in Providence RI on the 30th and then it's right back to the city as we play the CBGB Festival on July 6th (details coming).
In other new, our late summer tour is starting to come together. So stay tuned, as we will be releasing the full tour dates shortly.
Word has just come down that we'll be playing a showcase on the 6th of July for the CBGB Festival here in New York. I remember seeing many great shows at CBGB before they closed down and became a Varvatos store, so I for one am excited about being part of this festival. We'll upload all the details once we get them.
As the weather turns to summer we are pleased to announce that we will be performing outdoors at the Brooklyn Beer Fest on June 16th.
Seriously, this is going to be awesome! So join us in the warm air, with a cold beer. We'll be playing Session I at 3:15, so make sure to get your tickets here.
