Two Shots of Rye

The Last Show

Thu, 02 Oct 2008 14:11:11 -0400

Friends,

After six years and hundreds of shows, it’s with pride and a heavy heart that we announce our Last Waltz. We wanted to do this right. So, help us go out in style with one last night of You Make Me Highs. We’ll be playing HOOKS ON TAPE in its entirety.

And for the record: no acrimonious split, we’re not putting down our axes for good, and you haven’t seen the last of us.

Date: Saturday, October 11th
Time: 10:30 Sharp
Location: Pianos - 158 Ludlow Street, NY, NY

- Hear the album at http://www.hooksontape.com.

See you when we see you,

Mike, Ariel, Dane & Andy.

'The Absolute 100': AbsolutePunk.net's 'favorite lesser known bands'

Sun, 10 Aug 2008 10:52:00 -0400

Hot off the press release:

Here at AbsolutePunk.net, we like to start the waves and then float in them. This is why we are back with our second installment of The Absolute 100, an annual collection of our favorite lesser known bands.

The list is released in waves. We were floored to make it.

The first batch (1-25) features Person L, Beach House, Foreign Born, U.S. Royalty and - oh baby - Two Shots of Rye.

“Two Shots of Rye - New York, NY

AP.net Profile | Myspace
Why We Like: Listening to this band is like listening to Brooklyn in the summer. The sound is scratched, stripped, and rough enough to sound like a DIY singer/songwriter, yet still fun and poppy enough to sing along to like the latest glossy pop-punk band. It’s good music, and that’s all that matters for this small band that seems primed to win over a huge audience.
RIYL: Elvis Costello, Third Eye Blind, Brand New”
