Cincinnati really has amazing and talented local bands and we’re extremely proud to be a part of the scene here. We’ve come across some incredible talents in the past 8 years playing live shows and buying local music. This past year we had the chance to play with some of the city’s finest and we look forward to doing much more of that in 2012.

We’re honored to be selected by Citybeat’s top 20 releases of 2011.

The Mighty – The Mighty

One of the year’s best surprises, Indie Pop trio The Mighty’s self-titled effort found the Pop Rock trio evolving into a majestic Electronic Indie Pop juggernaut.

Which one will you choose?

We’re getting real excited about our CD Release Party this coming Saturday (8/20) at Mainstay Rock Bar. Our friends The Future Strikes will open the show, we’ll go on second and A Decade to Die For will close out the evening. $5 Cover, 21+, Doors at 9pm, Show at 10pm.

We took a unique and creative approach when deciding on how to package our debut album. One hundred physical cds were printed and numbered as limited editions. Each album cover contains custom painted artwork by the band making each disc entirely different from one to the next. There are also two bonus tracks included on the cd version! Check out the video below…which one will you choose?

We’ll also have digital download cards, stickers and buttons for sale along with a photo booth! Don’t forget to download our song “Couples Skate” for free at: http://www.themightyband.com/free/

York Street Show!

Josh Purnell — Thu, 07 Jul 2011 03:13:49 +0000

Our good pals Chaselounge invited us to play a set on Friday, July 15th at York Street Cafe. We gladly accepted the invitation as we have a long history with good ole’ York Street. It’ll be nice to head back to the scene of our very first show as And Andy and reminisce about the subsequent debauchery and many more shows that followed. One problem though; I’m pretty sure the bowling game and arkanoid are non-operational at this point which makes me a bit sad….ah well.

The show starts upstairs on the second floor at 8pm. We’ll be on stage by 9pm. Cover is $8. 21 and up.Lineup order:

For Algernon
The Mighty
Chaselounge
The Future Strikes

PS – Our record is finished, in the can and in the process of being printed up. A cd release party has been scheduled so get yer party hats on folks!

Recording Update

Josh Purnell — Wed, 08 Sep 2010 20:22:00 +0000

We’re working hard to complete our debut self titled record before the end of the year. We plan on locking ourselves up in the studio until we come out with 10 or more tracks ready for consumption. Take a gander below at a track hot off the presses, here is the final version of a song called “Baby, We Need to Talk.”

We are taking a break from recording our debut record to return to the stage for a live show at Northside Tavern. Opening is local quartet Charlie Hustle.

Closing out the night is local staple The Kentucky Struts bringing their unique brand of indie-twang-rock. They are currently hard at work at Ultrasuede Studio on a follow up to 2005’s fantastic self titled long player. Be sure to check out the show! Thanks to Todd Lipscomb and Rob Warnick for the sweet poster.

The Mighty will perform this coming Saturday night, April 10th at York Street Cafe in Newport, KY along with pals Chaselounge. It’s an early show with doors @ 7:30pm and show starting @ 8:15pm. A Chaselounge acoustic set will start the evening followed by The Mighty at 9:30pm and Chaselounge electric set close out the night. There will be a $5 Cover, 18+ $7 for under 21.

You might remember a band called And Andy that used to frequent York Street Cafe. We’ll be visiting the stage there once again this time as The Mighty. Come on out and have a good time with us. If you start to get nostalgic maybe you can play the bowling game, play sweet Arkanoid or have a visit in the unisex bathroom. Who knows, maybe Fizzgig and Denial will show up too…Hope to see you guys out there!
