Whoa, Portland. You made me enjoy the 4th of July more than I think I have since becoming an adult. (Whatever that even means). For those of you who weren’t with us at Rontom’s this past Sunday night, here is a bit of what happened:

After a set by Snow Bud & The Flower People, The Hugs (pictured above) performed all their hits. Those boys are awesome. I’m bringing them to California on tour with me next week so you can see for yourselves.

Here’s the video of me and The Gentry playing “Bottom Your Way To The Top” while Portland gets down:

Then, as you can see from the photo above, I played a set with The Gentry. We got the kids dancing at Rontom’s which I heard from some of their staff is not something that just happens all the time. Ummm….Yeah. It was fucking rad.

Watch “Come Home” below. I LOVE THE DANCING LADIES IN THE FRONT ROW!!!

The dancing continued after our set with the 1776 working the crowd into some sort of 1960’s rock and roll frenzy by the time they were through. It was a really good night. Thanks to 1776 for inviting us to be on the bill. We had a great time.

I totally love playing shows at Rontom’s!

Here’s a clip of us performing “Bleed Him Out” in the loudest way.

Our San Francisco and Sacramento shows just got even more exciting, people. Portland supergroup THE HUGS!!! are coming along to play the Rockit Room in San Francisco on July 13th, then we do it again the next night at The Blue Lamp Louge in Sacramento on July 14th!

Can I get a “Hell Yes” or what?!? Puddletown boy bands are on the move. See you in a few weeks, California! —with The Hugs in tow!!! Oh, and on July 4th we are playing with The Hugs and my labelmates 1776 at Rontom’s 4th of July Party in Portland!

This weekend is going to be so fun, Seattle!!!

I’ll be performing with The Gentry on the Main Stage on Capitol Hill this Sunday (June 27th, 2010) at The Cuff’s Annual Seattle Pride Block Party! We go on at 4pm, just after the parade, and will be sharing the stage with Shannon (of “Let The Music Play” fame), Frenchie Davis (from “American Idol” and Broadway!), Darrick Barry (from “America’s Got Talent”), and Chi Chi LaRue (of gay dicks and asses, incorporated)!!!

We’re all looking forward to getting REALLY loud and proud with you, Seattle! Let’s do it bigger and better than it’s ever been done before! See you Sunday!!! For more information on the event, click HERE.

We are so excited to see all of our Sacramento friends the day after we see all of our San Francisco friends next month! On Wednesday, July 14th The Gentry and I will be performing at Blue Lamp in Sacramento, California. Come get loud and wild in the SAC with us!

It’s gonna be SO fun. More info coming soon.
