Great review from a few weeks back on our Rock Shop appearance thanks to Dean Keim: http://deankeim.tumblr.com/post/52827563402/the-kitten-purrs-and-roars-at-rock-shop . It was the show where viola replaced keyboard last minute and now its here to stay. What’s with all the last minute replacement/changes in recent shows?
Stereo Off – Next Show is at Paperbox NYC on Sunday June 9th. Bands indoors and outdoors all day from 3pm to midnight. Loads of space, so hopefully the weather will comply and it will be a great early summer day at this indoor/outdoor venue.
We’re on right in the middle, 7:30pm before the sun sets on the main stage indoors.

See you there.
Oddly enough this is the song where we did a full on replacement of keyboard with viola (due to breaking keyboard by accident two days prior to gig). We hadn’t even rehearsed this version. But it all worked out ok.
Thanks Dean Keim for the video.
It’s been a little while, but we’ve been busy getting things together in time for our next show, which is on Friday, May 3rd at The Rock Shop in Brooklyn. Hope to see you there.
We will be on at 10, but its part of a great line up, so we will be there from 8 onwards. Before and after each band will be DJ KGB too, spinning some great tracks. It all starts at 8pm on a Friday, so what better way to start the weekend.

Just wanted to get the word out about Dead Red Eyes and their upcoming premiere in NC. Two short movies by the indie film makers in particular, “The Torment”, and “Alphabet Soup” – both just finished. One of which has Stereo Off doing the music soundtrack for it, the other has some cuts from my previous band. So its sort of self-promotion. But cross-promotion too. Does that make it better or worse? Anyway, find out more at www.deadredeyes.com. Once the film is publicly available, we’ll update the link here too.
Thanks to everyone that came out last night to see us at Arlene’s Grocery. We gave away some t-shirts and stuck around for rock and roll karaoke afterwards, to hear what you had for us. Loads of people may have been out of town, but we still got a great turn out and a fun night.
Also turns out the gig overall was one of the “5 Best Things in NYC to do that night” according to CBS New York at http://newyork.cbslocal.com/
Anyway, cheers to Eleanor and everyone at Arlene’s. A few videos were sent to us and we’ve put them on YouTube for now. One of them appears at the top of this post. As for the set list, it went like this:
MI6
Bullet Time
Bad Friday
The Thrill
Supercooler
Wait Again (video above)
Somethings Happening
Effectual
LA Dreaming
Photographs
So that’s ten songs this time and our last gig of 2012.
Here’s to a great 2013 for everyone.
Hey everyone, we will be at Arlene’s Grocery on Friday the 28th of December to celebrate the holiday season. Also appearing are our friends at Eleanor http://eleanor.bandcamp.com/
Tickets available at the door and at http://arlenesgrocery.tunestub.com/show.cfm?id=88444
Also appearing are Mercury Pills (8pm) and The Post Nobles (9). Line up starts at 8pm, Stereo Off at 10pm, Eleanor at 11pm. After midnight there is rock and roll karaoke, you know, if you’d like to sing us a song post-gig.
See you Friday and have a great Xmas!
This pic below is not Acme Underground, but whatever happened to that place? Used to be one of the NYC key venues, but long closed I guess. Does that make me old. Should I tell people about shows at Coney Island High? Or going to Tramps NYC?
Anyway, we’ll be at Arlene’s Grocery on Friday, December 28th, 10pm sharp. More info to come soon.
And as for Acme Underground. Its been re-incarnated as a restaurant and cocktail bar! What the?!
Thanks to all those who came out on a damp Monday night to see us at Pianos. I know I would have struggled to be out on a Monday night like last night, with day job making me pay the price this morning, so we do appreciate the support. Anyway, more pictures and videos to come soon.
Set list for the show at Pianos on Monday, December 10th was as follows:
Supercooler
Bullet Time
The Thrill
Wait Again
Something Happening (video below)
Mi6
LA Dreaming
Photographs
See you later in the month.
Yeah I know I shouldn’t put up all the “works in progress”. And I’ve been advised otherwise. But I really like this one. Even if its the instrumental version without vocals.
[audio:http://www.stereooff.com/music/the-things-we-do.mp3|titles=The Things We Do (inst)|artists=stereo off]See you Monday. We’ve also now got another show confirmed for later in December.
Stereo Off on Monday, December the 10th at Pianos, with our good friend Cru the Dynamic and Special guests to be confirmed.
Looking forward to getting some new stuff that we’ve been working on in the set. We’ll be on at 10pm sharp. Cru will be on at 9pm.
Tickets are $8 at the door. Location details below….. See you there!
Hey, its been a while since we posted. Mainly due to the events last week, where some of us, and our close friends were disconnected, flooded, stranded with no transit or gas, and/or surrounded by things like this:
Hope you and everyone you know are ok. We had no choice but to postpone a couple of things, and even the area where we rehearse is a bit off limits at this point, but hopefully back on track soon.
Good weekend with our first show at The Knitting Factory Brooklyn. As opposed to the rest of the band who have been on stage MUCH more recently with other projects (in one case yesterday!), it has been a bit longer for me. The nerves hit, but it all worked out in the end. Looking forward to the next show.
Some good stories too, some less show related than others, but do enjoy the multiple interpretations of the band name. Anyway, back to the original story, I realized that I still have t-shirts from bands past that I was in (and wasn’t in), and figured that our band needs one too.
Bit of a test run above, but perhaps we’ll be able to get these on site soon so that someone other than me can have one. Let us know what you think. I guess stickers are another early requirement for bands, though I don’t see that as much as I used to. Perhaps I’m outdated.
I still remember bands releasing albums and they would often hide a bonus track on the CD (when’s the last time you bought one of those?). But those hidden tracks were awesome, even if often a random outtake or B-side (there’s another old reference). Still, one these days can’t get a “hidden download” – oh look my mp3 player or computer opened a random file I didn’t download… and its a song! Or a virus. Or both. Damn, time for a new computer then.
