The Boston Teed-Off Party

Dear Menomenauts,

Upon arriving at Harpers Ferry, it became clear that it would be a rough night. I won't go into the gossipy details. Long story short : we began to suspect that there was not adequate time for us to set up and play a normal set.

For a while, Danny and I discussed the idea of turning our limited time onstage into a super-advance listening party of our upcoming LP, "Friend and Foe," while giving shoulder massages to audience members. We gave up on this idea.

Sure enough, Menomena was cut off after performing 4 songs (15 minutes or so). We apologize to folks who came out to see us for such a short set. If there was anything we could have done to prevent it, we would have. Here is a picture of Justin destroying the Harpers Ferry Green Room :

Kevin & Megan : I can't believe you drove all the way out to Boston from Rochester. Amazing! Meredith (& Alyssa) : thank you so much for the Halls Cold Remedy. I really needed it, you guys are awesome. Jordan : it was great seeing you again. Marty : thanks for cooking us pancakes and for letting us crash at your place. The Pug Cleo provided ample entertainment :

We love playing for Boston audiences, so we won't let this negative experience deter us from coming back. We promise the next show will be better.

Love love love,
Rock rock rock,

- Brent / Menomena

yeah, it sucks that you guys got cut off on this night. for what its worth your set sounded fantastic even with the unrelenting buzzzzzzzzzzzing and the sound guy with the learning disability. just picked up "i am the blame monster" and am loving it. hope to see you around this side of the country again, and hopefully for more than 15 mins.
