Deck Bar

Nothing but smiles with this (yoga) posse....Me, Hayley, Marie and Paige.

My ukuleles debut!

We yoga together, dance together, laugh together, drink together, and love together. Boom.

Paige was super pumped on my jean jumpsuit!

Even Aggro came out to support my first gig of the season. The night got cold but not to worry because my shawl from India could cover up atleast 3 people....

Last night was my first gig of the season. I've had a wicked cough and no voice since I've arrived home but thankfully yesterday was my best.day.yet. We filled up the deck bar at Yesterday's and had heaps of fun into the late late hours of the evening. The highlight of the night was my jean jumper and new ukulele, and seeing everyone after the long winter was ammmmmmmazing.

Peanut Butter Lovesicle
aka
PBL

Peanut Butter Lovesicle is a rock and roll band that was formed in the coldest of ice boxes in Ocean City, NJ via summer '07. The band is bound by blood fusion and consists of brothers' Mike D'Arc (Bass Guitar, Harmonica, Lead Vox) and Jake D'Arc (Guitars, Backing Vox), along with cousin Timmy Miller (Per concussion). The band of united souls came together as a focal point to dodge "real world employment" (par for the course) and to shed light upon mistreatment of the blue-collar workers of America and the Native Americans that harvested the land years before them.

The music itself is a well-culminated effort of distinguished musical tastes. It provides an emotional, Americana, down home feel and produces the high-octane energy of true rock encouragement by head thrusting rituals and the occasional locker room joke that puts the usual listeners at the edge of their seats. PBL will take no prisoner of genre including pop, variety rock, funk, blues, groove, folk, experimental, or Latina grooves.

The PBL express has recently embarked on a studio demo recording experience in August '08 and are expecting to capture the heart and soul of several units of fans. Prepare yourself for the battle of a live performance, much like that of a civil war reenactment where you will find a wide array of buffs, the occasional tourist, and the straggling nomads looking for inspiration to rejuvenate their broken lives.

Last night I had a pretty stressful evening at work. While I was on my way out I received a text from my friend JamieD saying that her brothers were playing at Yesterdays. I decided that I needed a drink {or two} and some rocking Peanut Butter Lovesicle. I rounded up Shawn and Ozzie and off we went. PBL has never let me down, and last night they rocked away all of my work-sorrow and put a big smile on my face {or was that the Jack & Ginger?} I was really in the mood to let loose and dance my ass off, but no one else was dancing - and I wasn't in my usual dance-based-trailblazing- "I don't care if no one else is dancing" kinda mood. Very rare for me...but my legs were aching from waitressing all night. So I posted up, inches from the stage, and got my drink on. They played some of my favorite tunes {hooray,black keys and PBL ORIGINALS}, and busted some badass moves. Sigh. They are fan.tas.tic.

It's so rare to find a great band that has great LIVE shows...especially in South Jersey. So I just wanted to say that I am THANKFUL for Peanut Butter Lovesicle and all the sweet goodness that they have to offer. Rock on.

This is truly a band that is not to be missed, so check em out. Their originals will knock your socks off.
