Whew! It’s been a whirlwind of a week!

Let’s recap:

1. Saturday night was a GREAT success at Church. Executive Order played their first live show to an adoring throng and we followed up with a powerful set. Had a blast sharing the stage with Musaic (NYC) and Chelsea Automatic (Chicago) as well.

2. We weren’t sure until about 6pm on Saturday if we were even going to play the show. Andy was up all night Friday with a 102 fever and pretty much strapped to the couch with shivers and popsicles.

3. Once Andy emerged from his cocoon, the idea was if he couldn’t sing, we’d just play instrumental or throw in some group vocals, call up some guest vocalists, and just wing it. But by some Winter Miracle, Andy’s pea-sized throat hole opened up and did a decent enough job for the night.

What’s next?

THE VITAL MIGHT

FRIDAY, JANUARY 15th
at
KENNY’S CASTAWAYS
157 Bleecker St.
NEW YORK, NY

7PM showtime - this is NOT a typo.

Let’s consider this: THE VITAL MIGHT HAPPY HOUR! Just head right over to the Village from work and have a drink and a faceful of rock to unwind from the week. Then we’ll head out and cause some trouble in the city.

Looking forward to seeing you wonderful people!

Cheers,
Andy, Rick, Cracker

p.s. We’re playing with Executive Order again on Thursday, 2/11 at TT the Bears.

Steven Reid at SeaOfTranquility.org picked Red Planet as #27 on his list of the 50 BEST ALBUMS of 2009.  Not too shabby!  He also said “Great album and ‘Saturday’ may be the song of the year”.

We just wanted to wish everyone a happy holiday from us here at THE VITAL MIGHT winter headquarters.

We also want to thank everyone for all the support this year.  It was a year of ups and downs and seeing your faces out at our shows and talking to you online means a lot to us.

If you don’t already have our debut album, Obsidian, please download it for free right here:  http://www.thevitalmight.com/THEVITALMIGHTObsidian.zip

One thing we’d like you to stick on your calendar:  Our first show of the new decade AND the first EVER show for our very good friends Executive Order (former members of Rubikon, Johnny Wishbone, White, Crumble, Psychotic Larry, etc.) on Saturday, January 9th at CHURCH in Boston. This one’s gonna be a doozy.  A great way to kick off the 10s.

Cheers,
Andy, Cracker, and Rick

Howdy revelers!

We’re playing our last show of 2009 this Saturday night at the Middle East Upstairs.  It’s a fantastic lineup of local and not-so-local bands at our favorite Boston-area venue.  Take a break from holiday cocktail parties and ABC Family feature presentations of watered-down wintry tales to stimulate your brain and soul with new, progressive, hard-hitting, weird, and inspiring music.  And I hear Cure for Static does a mean Silent Night.

Here’s the deets:

Saturday, December 5th
Middle East Upstairs
472 Massachusetts Ave  Cambridge, MA  (Central Sq on Red Line)
9pm
Cure For Static, The Vital Might, Instrument, The Neighbors (formerly Cadrin) - 18+ $10adv/$12dos

Tickets available here:  http://www.ticketmaster.com/Cure-For-Static-The-Vital-Might-tickets/artist/1370793

And as a little present for being on our mailing list and supporting the band, here’s a link to our 2006 release “Obsidian”, if you don’t already have it:

http://www.thevitalmight.com/THEVITALMIGHTObsidian.zip

That’s right.  It’s free. Go ahead, download it.  There’s no one looking.  Just take it! 

Looking forward to celebrating the holiday season with you guys this Saturday.  Get there early to enjoy all the kick-ass bands.

Cheers,
Andy, Cracker, and Rick

Hey kiddos,

We’re playing tonight at Hennessy’s on Union St. in Boston, right next to Ye Olde Union Oyster House. Go have some dinner at the oldest restaurant in the country and then come on over to Hennessy’s. We play upstairs at 9pm.

Got a set that mixes both of our releases plus a couple new songs that people keep asking “When are you going to record that?!”

See you tonight.

Cheers,
TVM

As you may notice, the site is a little wider, centered, and (in our opinions) a little cleaner and clearer to get around.

We’ve also heard from a few people, “Who are you?!?”  Then we looked around on the site and realized it was a little bit of a Nancy Drew mystery to figure out what the band is all about.

So we added the About page to explain some basic things about THE VITAL MIGHT.

Let us know what you think!
