THIS WEEKEND: FEB 23rd & 24th- BRENDYN’S & E-BAR @ SCHLESINGERS

admin — Wed, 22 Feb 2012 06:07:57 +0000

As our bandmates hobble back from New Orleans from a weekend celebrating Mardi Gras, here’s the quick rundown on this weekend’s events:

Friday-Feb 23rd, 2012-BRENDYN’S SPORTS BAR- 15 Railroad Ave. Middletown, NY
NUTS returns to Brendyn’s Sports Bar. A great bar in the heart of Middletown. Located inside of Quinnz Pinz (the old Middletown Lanes)and newly renovated Brendyn’s is one of the newest bars in the area. We played the Grand Opening there a year ago and it was a blast. We had a Conga line 30 people deep and snaking through the bowling alley. And they have food! Bowling, Beer and Blender! It’s a trifecta! Come on out and try someplace new! Show starts at 10pm~!

Saturday-Feb 24th, 2012-E-Bar @ SCHLESINGERS- 275 Temple Hill Rd, New Windsor, NY
Who has the classiest joint on the west side of the Hudson… one name, Neal Schlesinger. Hands down this room is always an event. Although most admit the outdoor beach is the main attraction we’ll argue that some of our best shows have been indoors, on stage in the E-bar. Maybe it’s the relaxed atmosphere. Maybe it’s the class and style. In either case it’s an excellent excuse to stay classy Hudson Valley… and come see our show. Show starts at 10pm

Happy V.D. Everybody!!!

Ahhhh… wine, roses, chocolates… a banana hammock made of candy. These are things we’ve come to expect on Valentine’s Day. Well, here’s our Valentine to all of you… a short spoof on the TV show ‘Cheaters’ starring the Best Known Celebrity in the Hudson Valley… Zippy. This is what happens when you have way too much time on your hands while packing up. Enjoy!

THIS WEEKEND: Feb 10th & 11th | MARDI GRAS MADNESS at Billy Joe’s and The Empty Bottle (Boobs, Beads, Beer & Blender)

admin — Wed, 08 Feb 2012 05:48:45 +0000

Are you ready to Mardi your Gras off? This weekend is hands down one of the best weekends on NUTS’s yearly schedule. And we know this from experience. We’ve been playing this show for 8 years!

First Friday night starts with a bang at Billy Joe’s. This is one of our best venues in the Hudson Valley and every show there has been a blast. Just check previous video and pictures. We had some of our best shows in 2011 at BJ’s. Ribs and NUTS… two great tastes that belong together.

Billy Joe’s Ribworks is at 26 Front Street, Newburgh, NY 12550

Saturday night is our Annual Mardi Gras party. This is a no holds bar visit to Bourbon St. complete with Mardi Gras beads, masks and Hurricane shots. We have some incredible video from year’s past. Check in our Video section for Gig Recaps… #24 MARDI GRAS MADNESS At The Empty Bottle 2011 is one of our finest moments ever captured on film. At all costs… DO NOT MISS THIS SHOW!!! Show starts at 10pm sharp!

Empty Bottle is at 30 W. Main St-Middletown, NY 10940

THIS SATURDAY FEB 4th – GET NUTS WITH US IN ALBANY!!!

admin — Tue, 31 Jan 2012 16:06:55 +0000

This Saturday NUTS & Co. are returning to our favorite venue due north. We’ve been playing the Bayou since 2006 and it is seriously one of the best rooms in the northeast. This room is always jamming with good people and some of the best bartenders in NY state. It’s true… we’ve heard they’ve even served some state senators and assemblymen. If you are in driving distance to downtown Albany this is not a show to miss. The Bayou is located at 79 N. Pearl St. Albany, NY. We also recommend if you feel like staying over, The Hampton In offers excellent accomodations mere yards away. Oh many a night we stumble in at 4am to a comfy, cushy bed.

Hampton Inn
25 Chapel Street Albany, NY 12210
(518) 432-7000

Rooms run around $110-159. Get a bunch of friends and split it up $20 per person. It’s seriously… 500 ft from the Bayou and 10 other bars in walking distance.

Git NUTS Wit US!

THIS WEEKEND- BILLY JOE’S One Year AnniversaNUTS & THE EMPTY BOTTLE SALOON

admin — Tue, 17 Jan 2012 16:33:57 +0000

Winter sminter! Our first snowfall of the season (not counting that 1 foot pounding we got Halloween weekend) is a reminder that winter is finally here one month late. That makes playing the 1 Year Anniversary party at Billy Joe’s this Friday all the more welcome. Just one year ago we helped to pop the cap off one of the biggest live venues in the area… and every show we’ve had since then has been a muthaload. It’s the gift that keeps on giving. So we’re calling all NUTS out to the Newburgh Waterfront this Friday to party like Hell hath frozen over! Ribs and Nuts… Two Tastes that belong together.

Here’s a clip from last year’s party!

Saturday we round things up with the best live music venue in the history of Middletown… and that includes the the Iroquois Indian tent on 1638 and the Grand Dance Hall that closed in 1892. The Empty Bottle is like no other… big, full of liquid and ready to party. Now that’s what America is all about! Come out this Saturday and bookend your weekend with NUTS!

THIS WEEKEND Jan 13 & 14 | SHADOWS & SCHLESINGER’S E-BAR

admin — Tue, 10 Jan 2012 17:35:57 +0000

Happy Happy New Year Everyone!

We love new beginnings… 2011 was a great year for NUTS… but not so great for everyone else. Snowstorms, floods, hurricanes pretty much made it a challenging year to gig every weekend. Event our annual WRRV Boo Ball succumbed to the wrath of Mommy Nature! Hopefully in 2012 she’ll take an aspirin and a nap!

This Friday we kick off the year with our return to SHADOWS ON THE HUDSON… a room you’ll see alot more of us in 2012. Starting in March we’ll be booked every first Friday of the month. Great room with great sound, lights and the best bar service east of the Hudson. Seriously… drinks magically appear right in front of you. It’s as if the bartenders have ESP! Friday Night Live is happening every friday in 2012 with lots of great bands… Bill Toupee, Soul System. So if you’re not with NUTS on a Friday night and in Po-Town… stop by and check it out. Our show starts at 10pm. DJ Claw: AKA Pat McKeon will be spinning songs on a 40,000 watt sound system.

Saturday we return to SCHLESINGER’S E-BAR (…that’s short for Elephant Room). So many terrific times at this place. We don’t think of the Elephant Room as a placeholder for The Beach… it has it’s own vibe and nuttyness. Not to mention it has the best grilled beef in the entire Hudson Valley. Sometimes you can find various band members standing outside the kitchen like stray dogs looking for meat scraps. Well, everyone except for Bryan… he’s into the mashed potatoes. Go for dinner, smoke a cigar, stay for the band. You won’t regret it!

They even made us a little video promo… check it out!

THIS FRIDAY Dec 30th | SHADOWS ON THE HUDSON-Poughkeepsie, NY

admin — Mon, 26 Dec 2011 19:35:16 +0000

How about an EVE OF NEW YEAR’S EVE PARTY? Yeah that will work! We know it’s cliche to complain about the year’s past but this year was a doozy. Bad economy, no NY teams in the Pennant and hurricane’s, snowstorms and earthquakes oh my! We suffered in 2011. So let’s bring on 2012 early! This will kick off the first of many Nutty Friday nights at Shadows in 2012. Great dance floor sound system and lights. Awesome food and drink. Come out Friday and show us how much you missed us Poughkeepsie!!!!
