THE LUXURY RETURNS - JUNE 1st, 2012
Friends, it's been a while. The band returns to the stage Friday, June 1st at TT The Bear's Place in Cambridge, MA - where we played our first official gig. True to tradition and brotherhood we join our friends The Lights Out as they release their third full-length album, "On Fire". The show kicks off with Dirty Virgins and The Fatal Flaw, and The Luxury headlines at midnight. We'll be playing as many brand-new songs as possible, and perhaps a few classics if you're up for it. The facebook event is here. Won't you join us?
FINAL SHOWS BEFORE HIATUS - TICKETS NOW ON SALE
Tickets are now on sale for The Luxury's final shows before hiatus - July 8th and 9th at the Lizard Lounge in Cambridge, MA. Pick your evening, or come to both - but this excellent venue is very intimate and will sell out, so don't wait. Tickets can be purchased HERE.
THE LUXURY AMONG MUSIC CONNECTION'S HOT 100 - TWO YEARS RUNNING
Thanks to Music Connection Magazine for naming The Luxury among their Hot 100 Unsigned Acts two years in a row. It's an honor to be included. Check out the magazine online here!
HAPPY NEW YEAR
Best wishes for a mind-blowing 2011 from your friends in The Luxury. We'll be kicking off the year with a Brooklyn show on Jan 7th - hope to see you there.
HALLOWEEN THIS YEAR: THE GO-GO'S (SOLD OUT AGAIN)
In what seems to be building into a tradition, The Luxury will perform as another band this year - having covered Def Leppard in '07 and Duran Duran in '09, the band turns their attention to US shores and 80's ladies in short skirts to take on the musical catalogue of The Go-Go's. This brilliant diversion will bring the band together with the likes of The Lights Out (as Madonna), Midatlantic (as Lady Gaga) and Hot Protestants (as Britney Spears). Saturday, October 30th at Church of Boston. Guys Doing Girls At Church. Tickets on sale soon - last year the show sold out by 9:30pm. Party of the season.
Update: Sold out two years in a row.
DRUMMER AUDITIONS NEARLY AT A CLOSE
We've had the distinct pleasure over the month of August to play with some very, very talented drummists, and tonight marks our final audition. If the first two are any indication, the decision will be nearly impossible, with the eventual selection being decided by multiple games of rock-paper-scissors or "which drummer smelled the most 'spring morning-fresh'". In short, we're mere days away from diving straight back into the stream of consciousness that is the construction of the next record. A good time to be one of us (inclusive).
COME TO THIS SHOW: BOSTON EMISSIONS' RE-BIRTHDAY, A BENEFIT FOR BEN GARCEAU
Saturday, August 14th at Harper's Ferry, Boston MA.
A very important, excellent show with music, raffles, and surprises. Read all about it HERE. Come support Ben and have a great time doing it.
MIXTAPE 1993 - Another smashing success.
A million thanks to everyone who overstuffed the Rosebud Bar & Grill on Saturday to hear our friends and ourselves bash out all the hits from 1993. Highlights: Gin and Juice, Informer, Linger, Low, and so many others... a quick search on Facebook will provide you with video and anecdotes aplenty.
CHECK IT OUT: THE LUXURY IN THE "2010 WBCN Rumble" EPISODE OF THE COMEDY SERIES, "Quiet Desperation"
We're pleased to announce the arrival of the "Highlights from the 2010 WBCN Rumble" episode of Rob Potylo's comedy series, "Quiet Desperation", in which The Luxury wax poetic (warning: language) about how the world changed for us after winning the 2009 Rumble, while waiting to crown the 2010 winners. It's hilarious. Enjoy! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-U9vwWCVykE

NICE THINGS ON ITUNES

HIGH QUALITY MP3s NOW ON SALE IN STORE
The band was hesitant at first to offer mp3s for download because the mp3 format just doesn't sound as good - you can pick up The Luxury tracks from Itunes
, but the ones we offer here are about triple the sound quality (320kbps versus 128kbps). Enjoy.
THIS IS WHY WE CAN'T HAVE NICE THINGS - cracks CMJ top 200
The little record that could is making waves at college radio - debuting as the 13th most added disc in the country on April 16th, and officially landing in the CMJ top 200 at #152 as of May 1st.
For an unsigned, independent artist this is an amazing standing. Thanks for all your support!
