The great news we got last week is that CD-101 (WWCD in Columbus) has added Superior to their rotation.  CD-101 is one of the last great independent radio stations in the country.  Their influence extends way beyond Columbus because of their great programming.  

Now is the time for Colin Gawel and Watershed fans to show their appreciation to CD-101 by calling, texting or writing in to request Superior.  

Call 614-221-1011; text "Request Colin Gawel Superior" to 68683; or email to dj@cd101.com.

Scott Lucas and the Married Men gave a great performance on the eve of their hometown opener in Chicago tonight.  They looked and sounded great.  I highly recommend that everyone head over to their site to check out their new album "George Lassos the Moon".  

Colin put together a video blog the morning of the show talking about his reflections on the show and why he was looking forward to playing with them.  (Hint: it's a funny story about Scott Lucas' original band Local H and well-known producer Jack Douglas).  Also, there's a clip of Colin and the Bones' first verse of Superior and a short clip of Scott Lucas' band.  Enjoy.

]]>Superior Release Party and the Southern Tour: Snowpocalypse Nowhttp://www.colingawel.com/journal/2010/2/10/superior-release-party-and-the-southern-tour-snowpocalypse-n.htmlColin Gawel2010-02-10T18:47:15Z2010-02-10T18:47:15ZI got the actual hard copy of “Superior” in my hands on Tuesday Jan 26th and I played 5 shows in the next 9 days crossing 5 states and thousands of miles. Here is the weather for each:

1/29Athens, Ohio: Major Winter Storm approaching. Biggie and I peel out after gig to beat storm across mountains. Don’t even wait to get paid.

1/30 Raleigh, NC:  Biggest winter storm in 10 years strikes Raleigh right in the middle of my gig at Sadlacks, which is a patio with a roof but no windows. I taped some footage of Terry Anderson and The OAK Team playing after me so you can get an idea how surreal it all was. Click here for a taste of that night. The gig was a total blast and thanks to all who risked life and limb to make it.

“Unless you Yankees feel like spending the next week in Raleigh, you best be high-tailin cause they are gonna close down all these roads real soon”

So once again Biggie and I bolted for our next location before the OAK Team was even done with their set. I couldn’t help but notice we left during “Daddy Had a Wreck” which didn’t exactly fill my heart with comfort. It was real dicey for about an hour but eventually we got out in front of the storm on our way to…

1/31 Conway, SC:  Winter Storm Warning. It was 68 degrees just 2 days before, but now it was 29 and freezing rain. Had a blast playing and staying with Watershed pal Joe Oestreich. Also- an ice storm at the beach gave Biggie and I no choice but to see Avatar. It was pretty good for what it is. Probably my favorite Cameron movie except didn’t he do a good Alien flick at some point. Maybe he did the bad one... I don’t know.

2/1 The Long Trip Home: Drove the 12 hours home right behind the storm. Lots of snow on the roads until we hit 1-77 north of Winston-Salem. Needless to say, the West Virginia Turnpike was spotless. Senator Byrd brings home the bacon from D.C. to keep them WVA highways running on time.

2/3 Upper Arlington Library:  Just cold. Really fun to play solo in the little theater Owen and I usually play in. Nice to actually take money from the Library as opposed to paying down fines on overdue Dinosaur DVDs.

2/5 Superior CD Release Party!!: Gigantic, Massive Winter Storm strikes the day of the gig. Most events cancelled, but not us. The crowd was small in number but mighty in spirit. For all those who missed we have rescheduled FRIDAY APRIL 2ND “Superior” Son of Release Party. Make plans now.

The set that night: Am Boy/Words We Say/Small Doses/Sad Drive/Lonely Bones/Wallflower Child/Chemotherapy/ #1 Killer/ Two Sets of Rules (brand new song)/ Honey Bee (T. Petty-new also) Plan B (Colin solo) Jaws (Colin solo) Profile/ See You Tonight/ Superior

End of set…. But everybody there was basically snowed in with only booze to keep us warm so we went ahead and played a little longer than normal considering the special circumstances.

Half of Me/ Muddy Water/ Maggie May (Faces) Suspicious Minds (Elvis) Black Concert T Shirt/ Before They Make Me Run (Rolling Stones)

Doors at 7:00pm.  Keith Jenkins at 8:15pm.  Colin Gawel & the Lonely Bones at 9:30pm.  $10 includes a copy of the new CD  
Directions to the Rumba are here.

Thanks to everyone who came out in Athens OH, Raleigh NC and Conway SC.  We're in the process of getting some video clips on the Videos page.  Stay tuned.

This week, we're focused on the official release of Superior on Friday with a party at the Rumba Cafe (Directions).  Doors open at 7pm.  Keith Jenkins goes on at 8pm.  Colin Gawel & the Lonely Bones will hit the stage at 9:30 pm.  $10 at the door includes a copy of the CD.

CD101's program director and dj Andyman wrote that Superior was a "great song" at the weekly music meeting last week. (Link)  So, if you're looking for a way to help, now is the time to contact them to request Superior.  You can email them at dj@cd101.com or call 614-221-1011

Also, I am appearing on Maggie Brennan's show on WCBE 90.5 FM on Wednesday.  We'll get started at about 2:05pm.  I'm looking forward to chatting about the new release and maybe playing a couple songs.

Finally, we are making a limited number of signed, pre-release copies of the CD available on our "Store" page.
