2011 Heaven // Saturday Jan 22nd 8pm, Rockwood Stage 2

Hey folks,

Happy new year old friends and fellow foot-soldiers of the Ross Revolution. Since we last spoke in December, I played backgammon with Mike Bloomberg as Brooklyn was irrevocably destroyed by blizzard, directed a foot fetish video with Rex Ryan's wife, and wept with John Boehner as he took this oversized mallet. (Insert "Compensating much?" joke here)

Oh, and you scrappy mothers raised an army of 800 unique voters to name us Deli Magazine's Artist of the Month and be on their year-end list of top NYC bands. Thank you guys and dolls, you'll see below we'll need you even more in 2011 to achieve Pinky and The Brain-style world domination. In the meantime, our famous Saturday night Band opens the year with a huge debut gig at everyone's favorite new venue featuring world premiere songs. And it's free homie gee!

What will 2011 bring? To start, our first gigs in Boston (Save the Date! Middle East 2/13), Philly and DC, the SXSW Music Festival, a new album and more TV in the pike, and Producing/ Arranging for my favorite NYC artists. And if you like The Beatles (Hi, I'm Earth) and you like ukulele, come see me open for Ben Kweller and Nellie McKay @ Brooklyn Bowl this Saturday night 1/15 8pm. Here's a cut we made of "Baby's in Black" a few months back. Catch ya later, crocodile.

A Reasoned Case for Arriving Late at Your Holiday Party to See Saturday's Big Show

1. Show's at 9. You can probably still get there at 10:30, which is a pretty standard arrival time for a party in New York. They'll still have latkes, though applesauce is questionable.

2. This one''s gonna be really really good. This ain't no disco. 9 piece Rock n roll band and horn section. We only only do it once in a blue moon and playing brand new songs for you regulars. And we even rehearsed!

3. All thanks to you, we just won NYC Deli Magazine Artist of the Month. Check it: http://nyc.thedelimagazine.com/node/3754

4. Mercury Lounge Saturday Night Headline is always a very big deal. We don't want to go back to playing strip clubs in Jersey.

I was never on the Debate Team, but I have to admit that these points would destroy in the Contemporaneous category. Thanks again folks and Happy Holidays.

Saturday 9pm @ Mercury Lounge // Last Day of Deli Vote (And it's Tight!)

Hey folks,

How are you? Okay, here's the scoop. Last week I told you we were nominated for Deli Magazine's NYC Artist of the Month. You came forward with a record 600 votes, and made a certain someone feel very thankful for the holidays (Mainly this guy). However, with the vote ending at midnight tonight, I discovered our greatest competitor is a Danish Major Label pop star and has her Scandinavian cohorts fighting to the bloody death D2: Mighty Ducks style. If my name isn't Gordon Bombay, for one day only please...

Vote Danny Ross at home/ on your phone/ share on FB: http://nyc.thedelimagazine.com/snacks

And then to celebrate our impending gazillion point victory, the full band and horns will be headlining our biggest show yet, debuting brand new songs Saturday night 9pm at NYC's legendary Mercury Lounge. Nice and early too, so you can still hit your boss's Holiday Party and pretend to have a good time. Thanks again gang, shoot me an email when you vote and catch me up on the haps. And find all the details on our FB Event Page

Ah, Holiday Explosion!! - Mercury Lounge Saturday Dec 4, 9pm

Hey folks,

How are you? It's been about a month since our last encounter. Since then, Team Coco triumphantly returned, the Dems lost the House to former cast members of the Real World, and I lost my only chance at becoming a princess. Damn it William, that ring was made for my delicate fingers.

But as we approach pie-eating season (pecan / pumpkin lovers holler at me), we all know it's time for the 1st Annual Holiday Explosion with the Danny Ross Orchestra! Live from Mercury Lounge, expect live reindeer, film and television's Bob Newhart with the meaning of Christmas spirit, the world-famous human dreidel, and a Kwanzaa spiritual sung by Lady Black Mambazo. Thanks folks, it's a huge show for us headlining Mercury once again and we need you more than ever to support these absurd rock n roll pipe dreams. Despite some technical difficulty, here's the official Facebook Event Page.

MTV // Live at The CMJ Music Festival - 10/21 Rockwood (Party!), 10/22 Living Room

Hey folks,

How are you? Well, I suppose things are going pretty well if you're a Jets fan (it's only been 40 years) and/or a Chilean miner, probably not so hot if you're a Democrat and/or Mark Zuckerberg. At least he can buy happiness, and maybe finally get himself a girlfriend.

Good news here! We've been selected to play the 2010 CMJ Music Marathon. Thursday is the big gig at Rockwood, but if you can't swing it try our acoustic showcase on Friday, both free. Much like the SXSW Festival we played in Austin, CMJ features the best upcoming bands from around the world taking over Lower East Side venues as industry bloodsuckers salivate in their footsteps (Just kidding industry friends, but seriously, get us a sneaker endorsement).
