For anyone that might not have heard, we are now a 4 piece again. With Rachel Toxic on lead guitar, we now have two of upstate New York's best guitarists together in one band. A Double Guitar Assault that would make Thin Lizzy proud!

Ok, we've been laying low for a while working on the new record and all, but that's about to change. We've got a bunch of shows coming up including our next gig at the Lark Tavern Oct 21st and a big one at the NY Tattoo and Music Expo in December. Check back for more info on that including who else will be playing and the schedule of events.

On the studio front, we're headed back in somewhere around Nov 24th to record five brand new tracks for the record. It's awesome that everyone is chomping at the bit to hear it and wants to know when it will be done. Believe me, we are too!

Right now, we're planning on an early 07 release date. Ok it's a bit of a ways off, but once we got going and heard how it was coming out, we really wanted to make sure we put out an absolute KILLER record. It will be worth it!

No one will be disappointed.

Update on our new recording and other stuff!


We really appreciate everyones interest in our new recording. It might sound like I'm talking out of my ass, but this new record is gonna bring us to the next level. I never said that before about our previous releases, so you know we got something up our sleeves.

As most of you know, we decided to put the "best of" cd on hold for now. Yes, Our new stuff is THAT good.

And the real reason we were gonna put out a best of cd, is because just a mere 2 months ago we were planning on ending The Erotics. Bands put out "best of" or "Greatest Hits" when they have nothing new to offer. Turns out we have plenty more to offer!

Turns out, all we needed was a little time off, now our batteries are recharged...and I didn't even have to go to rehab this time.

We're going back in to record a few more new tunes, and hope to have this mother fucker out by January. Along with a new single and video to go along with it. Yes, a "real" video, unlike that piece of crap we did a few years back.

Of course, now that we decided to take time off to work on the new record, now we start getting incredible gig offers.

Sorry folks, unless it's a gig in Upstate New York, we ain't playing anywhere else until next year.

We're also adding a 2nd guitarist, which will make my job a little easier. Doing ALL the lead vocals and ALL the solos, gets tiresome, esp. if you want to put 1000% in every night, when on tour. More on who the new guys is later.

Guess that's it for now.

Trash!

Studio Update

All the base tracks are finished for the new record. Mike’s got a few more solos to do then its mixing and the rest.

Things are shaping up very nicely. The new songs sound great and it looks like the new record is going to be a 2 CD greatest hits collection with all the hits spanning the 10 year history plus 5 brand new tracks.

Check back for more updates soon.
