We were honored to be included on this amazing box set, The Georges Lang "LA Collection" from RTL in France

Our night with Barnaby Bye at the Boulton was a special one, we're all hoarse from singing our
hearts out and we're a little exhausted but only in the nicest way. We want to thank all our friends and
fans for supporting us and making it such a great success. Special thanks to Michele and Scott
from the Boulton and we'd also like to thank our dedicated crew. Mike Barbrich and Dave Giacone
were the cream on top of the cake, thanks guys!


It was a nice surprise when Gene Cornish of the Young Rascals introduced us and then came out
to play "Good Lovin" with us. He's an amazing musician, entertainer and person, it was an honor
having him share the stage with us.

We also got a surprise visit from the Long Island Music Hall Of Fame and they gave us all awards
for our induction in the LIMHOF. Proof that our long time tour manager Jon Taylor is very sneaky.


For the first time ever we performed "Savin The Day", the song we wrote and performed for
the classic movie "Ghostbusters" complete with cool clips from the movie running behind us.
The show was full of emotion, laughs and our fair share if foo-paas which I think our fans
also enjoy.
All and all it was a great night and would not be possible without our loyal fans, we love you.
We'll post all the great photos as we receive them and of course we'll have the
Fly On The Wall Video up ASAP Here are some cool shots we got so far from Fred Appel and
John Smith and Iris Levine thanks guys!

-Alessi Bros. Honored-
DFA labelmates and ridiculously awesome live bands LCD Soundsystem and Hot Chip have been on tour together for awhile now, even releasing a quickie double live album last week. On Monday night, they played the tour's last show together in Manchester, England. They wrapped things up by teaming onstage for a pretty, faithful cover of the Alessi Brothers' soft rock nugget "Seabird". Someone in the crowd got video of it, and though the image quality is a bit grainy and shaky, the audio is pristine. Thanks to Josh Barnes for the tip, and check out the video below.

We lost another one of the good guys:
Jeff Kracke


August 1, 1949-October 26, 2010.


He was, and always will be a dear old friend, he was the guy in the truck, mixing all those great WLIR live concerts
at My Father's Place. We were lucky enough to have him on the road with us as our chief sound guru. He would modify our
instruments, (Billy would say, "If only this keyboard did this or that" Jeff would say, "let me take a look at it" the next day
it not only did this or that but there were also a few upgrades we didn't even think of.)
He had an amazing sense of humor, I don't think a day goes by where I don't coin one of his clever sayings..still.
Everyone who's known him smiles when they think of him, they all have favorite moments and memories of this wonderful person.
If only we'd gotten a chance to tell him before he was gone.
We'll miss you Jeff.
