Big Thank you’s to everyone who came out to the last tour and picked up a copy of attitude adjuster.  We had a blast on tour with Streetlight, and I’m happy to announce that they are bringing me out to support them again in March/April/May.. this time rocking it solo.  Check out the new tour dates just posted!

Currently, the Stitch Up is northbound on highway 15 headed from Las Vegas to the land of Mormons, Salt Lake City. We are surrounded by beautiful snow capped mountains and the van is running like a champ.  Last night in Las Vegas was a good time.  It was Rick Johnson’s first time playing bass with us, and he rocked it.  He adds a bit of the flail factor to the live Stitch Up show, which is a good thing. Check out the TOUR DATES. Are we headed your way?  Can we sleep on your floor in Salt Lake or Denver?  See you at the shows.. -dp

Happy New Year.  I feel a bit foggy today, but am excited to post some new news. The Stitch Up is gearing up for round 2 of the Streetlight Manifesto, Somewhere in the Between tour. New tour dates are posted, so if we missed you on the first leg, chances are that we will be seeing you soon.

Our days of short little zig-zagging drives around the East Coast are coming to a a close.  We’re off to Richmond VA today, and then it’s down to FL, New Orleans, Texas, and then out west. Things have been going great so far.  Had a really great show last night in Troy, New York, just outside of Albany.  The Suburban Legends are back with us, so the tour is back up to full strength. A big Thank You goes out to Carrie, who very graciously let us crash at her apartment after the Lancaster show.  Thank you for the rockin’ breakfast, and the much needed opportunity to catch up on some laundry too!

We’re on our way to Lancaster, PA.  Last night’s show in Boston at the Middle East was a blast.  It was totally sold out, and the air and walls were thick with sweat. A big Thank You to our friends Aly and Kurt for putting us up for two nights in Boston.  Aly made some rockin’ French toast Kurt took some great photos of the Boston show.  You can check them out HERE. There are also pictures up from the NYC show at the Grand Ballroom.  See you at the shows.

Well, while I was feeling sorry for myself for having our van break down in AZ and having to spend a bunch of money on a rental van, a huge reality check just put things in perspective. 

Last night in Philadelphia, The Suburban Legends got their entire van and trailer stolen from a hotel parking lot. All of their gear, all of their clothes, all of their merch..  Ahhhhhh!  Complete nightmare.  If you want to help them out, please go to their website and buy something!

Other than that, the shows have really been great, and we’ve met lots of really great people.  Big THANK YOU to Scott and Laura for putting us up for three nights and taking us to those great New Jersey diners!

The tour is under way!  Well, almost.  We started a couple days ago on our across the country drive from San Diego to the first date of the tour in Covington, KY, but wound up spending an unexpected 24 hours in Anthem, AZ north of Phoenix. My van is broken.  We left her behind at a shop to wait for necessary parts.  The rental van is running strong, and although it’s going to be impossible to get to our first show in Covington tonight, we will definitely be rocking tomorrow night in Cleveland.  Shootz!

A brief detour from The Stitch Up for just a second.. I’m in NYC right now getting ready for a comedy show that I’m doing with my buddy Jerm on Thursday.  If you’re in the area, come on out and say Hi. We are the Raspberry Brothers and we’ll be telling jokes and having fun with the movie “The Lost Boys.” Will there be fake vampire teeth?  Yes.   Will there be funny wigs.. absolutely.  Check out the flyer below.

Also, I’ve recently gotten the Music page up and running and there’s a few clips up there from the new album, as well as an unreleased Dan P. solo song featuring the best brown dog in the world.. Roopie Roo.

Big news.. The official release date for our new album “Attitude Adjuster” is November 13.  We will have them for sale at our shows the first week of tour, but the album won’t be available online or through itunes until the official release date on the 13th.

There is now a van parked in my driveway that is expected to make it across the country multiple times in the next couple months.  I’m super excited!  All I need to do now is take it to my mechanic for a once over, tear out the back bench, and install some new curtains so it doesn’t look so much like a van full of gear.  T-shirts and stickers and buttons are meeting us in Cleveland for the first show on Nov. 6th, so I’m not going to put them up for sale on the site until after the tour. See you at the shows.

We almost own a new van, and the tour dates are now up.  It’s for real! The artwork is ready to be sent off for the new album “Attitude Adjuster,” and new t-shirts, stickers and buttons will soon follow.

OK, so I’ve gotten a new band together and have conned someone into putting the album out.  Although I can’t announce the label yet, we’re hoping for a winter release and we are going on a full U.S. and Canada tour Nov-Jan. In the next few weeks, there will be loads of new content coming in.  Artwork, photos, music.. all coming very soon.
