Dog Dayz of Summer

We are giddy that we get to play with Mr. Bobby Bare Jr. at the one-of-a-kind Chicago summer fest Dog Dayz of Summer this June!
Here’s the web page for the event.

We play Sunday June 28 at 5 p.m. It’s a Hot Doug’s/Goose Island joint. Get your tix, smarty!

Man oh man…busy, busy, busy

Summer and fall tour dates, from way out west to “back east” are pouring in. No time to post ’em right now…too busy booking ’em. But we will soon–lots. AND: album-release news is coming, very soon.
Please report back to this room after lunch…we should have it all straightened out by then…
In the meantime, here’s a picture of Caskey bein’ Caskey!

Chaud! Chaud! Chaud!

Watch the Claudettes tear it up at the Semaine du Blues Festival in Aulnay-Sous-Bois, France. These are highlights from two sold-out shows we did there on November 17, 2014. And as always: Be careful not to spill any Bordeaux on your new outfit!

The Claudettes in 2015

Watch and learn, son

Yes, yes and…yes

We finished mastering our new recording at the venerable (and most impressive) Sterling Sound in NYC. Holy cow, it sounds good. Thanks to Ryan Smith and “Uncle” Steve Berkowitz for the top-flight work there. Lunch at the Chelsea Market made a good thing yet better. We have a new music video filmed, some great footage from our two sold-out November 2014 shows in France coming soon, a whole lot of gigs on the way…see, folks, this is how it’s done (nowadays)…

You Busy Beaver, You!

The Claudettes are busy beavers! We have a bunch of Midwest U.S. shows (see here) coming up, and we are in France for a festival in Aulnay Sous-Bois Nov. 14-18. OH: and we’re currently mixing our new album (maybe a double-album, to be released in 2015), making a music video and bringing you this natty new website. What more do you want from us? HUH, buddy?!

One Reporter’s Opinion

This isn’t really “news,” but advice: you should get our debut album, Infernal Piano Plot…HATCHED!, for yourself or as a gift this holiday season. It’s remarkably good!
