the robber barons: News

One of our favorite X songs is "4th of July" so we've decided to play on the 4th of July. Hotel Utah Saloon in SF is the spot. Killian from Gun & Doll Show is also on the bill doing his solo thing. Check the calendar page for the deets.

The details are trickling in but the word is the RB's are headin' to the great Northwest for some shows. Check the calendar for upcoming dates and we'll be adding more as they come to light.

Hi everybody! Guy Terrifico here with a quick Robber Barons update.
Here we are Barons fans...the Ides of April are upon us. Aside from doing some music for an upcoming film, this month finds the band carrying the Olympic torch through part of San Francisco during this month's celebration (they'll have the tenderloin route). They are extremely honored by the committee's decision to include them in this momentous occasion against the warnings of the police department and the psychiatric community. While in their adopted hometown of SF, the boys will also be making a local appearance on 4/26 at the Plough and Stars. (check the calendar for the details) The boys will be debuting a couple of new tunes that night so don't miss out on a chance to come out and toss a few back w/ The Robber Barons. Stopping through to open for the guys will be Scotland Barr and the Slow Drags from Portland. SF's own Sorrow Town Choir will be closing the night out also. A bill not to be missed! C'mon down.

just a quick howdy do and heads up that we'll be at the starry plough in berkeley on april 3rd. also on tap is the trespassers and diablo's dust. and, since it's a bar, there will be beer on tap too! everyone likes beer so come on down! check the calendar page for the specifics.

we'll be at el rio on tuesday 2/5 . music starts at 8pm sharp. it's free! first band up is the cobalt season, then us, then peter keller. do your civic duty at your polling place and then raise a glass or six with us!
3158 Mission St (@ Cesar Chavez), San Francisco, CA 94110. (415) 282-3325

Happy New Year Y'all. Just a quick note to check the calendar for some upcoming shows. Come out and bend your elbow with us!

Season's Gravies,

We here in Baron World sincerely hope that everyone had a great Thanksgiving Day. The band is having their family time before serious work begins at year's end and they get back to the business of bringing the music to the people. Keep checking back for added dates as '08 is stacking up to be a busy one for The Robber Barons. Do not miss the new sounds the band will be working up thru those long winter months. If your gift giving is not already planned, please consider The Robber Barons gift certificates. They are in the form of $20 bills and can be used to buy all kinds of Baron stuff like cds, t-shirts and even RB concert tickets. We hope to see everyone's stockings stuffed by the time the band hits the road again.

Happy Holidays,
TRB

Salivations,
Bet yer thinkin’ “When am I ever going to get to see The Robber Barons live?” Relax. We’re just taking some time to catch our breath. The last 12 months have been very busy for TRB. The boys have recorded and released the critically acclaimed “Kerosene Communion” and done numerous tours and showcases over the last year and it was just time for the guys to take a break. Alex finally has a chance to go on his honeymoon (after 2 years), Jeff is trotting around Iowa looking for a good corn recipe, Kevin is heading to NY for a brief time and Nik is shuttling back and forth between Portland and San Francisco charged with the task of keeping the highway patrol busy (and he has). The guys have been writing new material, taking some things slow for a bit and basking in the crazy media attention they’ve been generating in Europe. TRB has also been nominated for an Americana Music Award as Best New Band. The award will be handed out in Nashville in September. If you’re a member, vote for us (early and often).
See ya in the obituaries,
TRB

Howdy friends. There's a lot going on in the Barons' world lately. The band finally got to play a hometown gig in San Francisco recently. What a blast, it's good to be home. Press (especially in Europe) continues to build large for TRB. Some new reviews are posted in the press section and below are some links to recent airplay. It seems like each week brings a new review, article or radio add coming out of Northern Europe and the band is trying to fit in a short tour over there soon around a very busy stateside schedule. The guys are gonna be taking some individual vacation and time off, but plan to be reconvening soon to work up some new material and hit the stage soon. Please keep checking back here or sign up for our mailing list so you'll know where and when TRB are gonna be. C'mon out and say 'hey' or drop us a note here anytime.

Unhowdy,
TRB

The band is happy to be home after a short tour of the beautifully wet Pacific Northwest. We managed to make it home with all our gear and our lives (barely). Gotta give a special thankee to Bryan Daste for sitting in with us on pedal steel. tasty, bud, tasty. Also thanks to Mark Grupe from SF's own REK for sitting in on the drums. Our drummer Jeff was unable to extricate himself from a Mexican Jail in time to make the trip.
We'll have some bay area dates posted soon. Keep checking back. You can also check us out on my space at http://www.myspace.com/therobberbarons
