Our deepest and most sincere apologies to all of those folks who were shut out of the Harper's Ferry show on Saturday night. Thanks to scores of rabid drunken Mudhens fans, the venue sold out a lot quicker than we thought it would. Sadly, quite a few of you arrived at the door only to be turned away. We're very sorry about that.
As a token of our regret, please enjoy these two complimentary passes to the Harper's show a week from Sunday: Danny Wood of New Kids on the Block fame. Here's the write-up on the Harper's website:
Please put any prejudice aside before entering: Danny Wood is a Kid no longer. For one thing, he's matured; for another, his new solo album, Second Face, is a soulful mix of R&B, pop, and alternative-tinged tunes that any serious musician would be glad to claim as their own. But getting a proper hearing hasn't been easy when your past pedigree includes having been part of that 80s phenomenon, New Kids On The Block; it's been more of a Stumbling Block. Despite NKOTB's achievements (record-breaking live show attendance and sales; superstardom on a global scale), the 'manufactured boy band' image continues to linger around the former members, which is a source of frustration for the talented Wood. "I will never complain about the ride and what I learned from it, but musically it definitely wasn't what I wanted to be doing," he says of that time.
And from the man himself's website:
It will be Danny Wood Alone and Acoustic. The show will be set up storytellers style with Q&A. If you want to hear any of Danny's solo record goto itunes and type in Danny Wood.
Just show up at the venue on Sunday and tell them Scamper sent you. All we ask in response is that you do one of two things:
a) during the Q&A session, ask Danny what is was like to be the only good-looking one amongst all those other ugly, monkey-faced motherfuckers in NKOTB.
b) request "This One's For The Children." Repeatedly. Even if he plays it, ask him to play it again. And again.
I've got a little business to take care of tomorrow (read: Mafia-type shit), but I'll be back later in the week to recap some backstage hijinx from the Saturday night show as well as an early Sunday morning recording session, a combination that led to a hilariously cranky Nate. More to come...

To build up to your return even more so (and I hope this is the same story I'm thinking of)...
I honestly don't think I've ever seen a scene quite like the aftermath that was left behind backstage. It was seriously one of the craziest things that I've ever heard about/witnessed post-event.
The estimate was off by about 30mins. Not too bad.
Hmm, as someone who's coming from overseas to see Danny's show I'm hope the crazies stay away! And the other 4 New Kids were NOT ugly thank you very much!

I'm officially fascinated. What question are you going to ask him during the Q&A period?
Probably ask him how he feels about all these non-fans turning up at his show! It's great if people want to come along to enjoy the music but not if they just want to cause trouble :(

~rubs eyes~
Is this for real, Brendan, or do you have a friend pretending to be coming in from overseas to see Danny Wood?
