Independence Day 1776 Style

sean gothman — Wed, 30 Jun 2010 16:43:10 +0000

1776 will be playing a show on Independence Day, July 4th, at Rontoms in SE Portland. What makes this party cool is not the obvious cracks about the year of our nation”s independence coinciding with one of today”s hottest bands going, although I”m sure some of you may be chuckling. No, the news that joining the Sixers will label mate and returning champion Logan Lynn, and our newest World Beater, The Hugs. This is a bigtime shindig you will be talking about for years, but not if you miss it. Your kids don”t need to hear about how on July 4 2010 you were to Sauvie”s Island. Boring. Come to Rontoms and see some history.

Logan Lynn & The Gentry Tour Kick-Off May 2

sean gothman — Fri, 07 May 2010 16:17:37 +0000

If you have been following Logan Lynn”s Tweets the past few months, you may have noticed that he mentions going band rehearsal a lot, and it strikes you that, “wait, what, does Logan play with a full band?” On May 27th, at Doug Fir in Portland, you will find out.

“This is the Summer Tour Kick-Off show where I am unveiling my new full band setup as Logan Lynn & The Gentry,” says Mr. Lynn. “We have spent the last 7 months in hiding re-writing all of my songs to be a wild, loud, dance rock/dance punk hybrid and it”s crazy now.”

Crazy like a fox.

The test run for the new set-up at a sold out show at Portland”s Rotture went a little something like this:

The May 27th show at Doug Fir (only five bucks, we know you can spare it) is the tip of the iceberg for Logan + The Gentry this summer. Performances are slated for June 12 at Capital City Pride Festival in Olympia, and June 27 at The Cuff Block Party in Seattle, with more dates on the way. Follow Logan Lynn on Facebook and Twitter if you want to be the first to find out when he might be bringing his big new show to you.
