Thumb Surgery, Tour Dates, Recording, etc.

Hello Friends,

I thought I would make this blog to update you on what’s been happening with us, and what we have planned for the rest of the year.

We apologize to New York, Portland, and Philadelphia for having to cancel our shows in August. Our drummer, the man, the myth, the legend, Mikey Holland, had to have surgery on his hand this past weekend. At our 7 Inch release show last month here in Boston, Mr. Holland played so hard he busted open his thumb and the cut got infected, and the infection got into his bone. It was a scary situation, and we were all very concerned for our long time friend, but the good news is he is out of the hospital and will make a complete recovery after 3-4 weeks of recuperation and good vibes from his groovy band mates.

On the upside, we’ll be announcing September tour dates soon, which we are very excited about, so stay tuned! Until then, we’ll be spending the rest of the summer finishing up writing our next full length album. We're planning on heading back into the studio later this year to record it with the extremely handsome multi-talented producer extraordinaire, Mr. John Agnello (back off ladies, he’s taken!)

On a funny note, if you're around a TV tomorrow night, tune into MTV @ 10PM for the season premiere of their show "Teen Mom", which will feature four Mean Creek songs. That's right guys, we made it!!!!!!

We hope you all are enjoying your summer, and we’ll see you very soon!

Love, Mean Creek

Upcoming 7 Inch/Digital Single

Hey Friends,

We’ve been hard at work on a bunch of brand new songs, and it's been really incredible to be able to focus on new material. We couldn’t be more excited about the new music we’ve been writing, and we’re very much looking forward to sharing it with you all.

In April we’ll be going into Headgear recording studio in Brooklyn with John Agnello to record some brand new songs for an upcoming 7 inch/digital single that will be released by the good people at Old Flame Records. We’re very excited to work with John, he’s recorded a lot of albums we really love by bands like Dinosaur Jr., Sonic Youth, Buffalo Tom, and many more, including the upcoming Dead Confederate album which we are all very much looking forward to.

We’ll have new music and tour dates coming soon, so keep checking back here for updates. See you all soon!

Love, Mean Creek

Whigs Tour/Year End Wrap Up & New Year's Eve Party!!

Hello Friends!

SO sorry for the long delay on updates for this blog. This year has been pretty incredible, and we'd really like to thank everybody who has supported us and our new album since its recording earlier this year, and its release in October. Nothing we do would be possible without all of you guys, and we can't thank you all enough for consistently coming out to our shows, and showing your support in a million other ways. There are too many of you to name, but hopefully you all know who you are.

Since we last updated this blog we won "New Act Of The Year" @ the Boston Music Awards which we are all very excited about! Thanks to everyone who voted for us. We put everything we had into making our new album earlier this year and it's nice to see people appreciate our hard work.

We were out on tour this month for two weeks with two great bands, The Whigs from Athens, GA, and The Features from Nashville, TN. Both bands are incredible people and musicians and we really learned a lot from them. The tour took us down south and up the east coast, and we got to play in some really great venues we've always wanted to get the chance to play at. Thanks so much to our buddies in The Whigs for bringing us along for the ride! Check out some photos we took HERE!

All that being said, we are more than excited about 2010! A new decade and a fresh start for us all! We have a lot of touring plans for the new year, the first of which will be in February with our friends Destry who are a great new band featuring members of Straylight Run, and The Format. Check them out here! - http://www.myspace.com/destrymusic We also have been working hard at writing new songs and are looking forward to making a new album later on into 2010. We are really proud of what we made this year in "The Sky (Or The Underground)", but we are very excited to expand upon it!

Before all of that goes down though, come celebrate 2009 with us! New Year's Eve bash @ Great Scott!! We will be playing, along with 3 great bands, You Can Be A Wesley, Magic Magic, & Earthquake Party! It is sure to be a rager!!

See you at the show!!

Love, Mean Creek
