GROOVY NOODLES
THE ELM TREASON NEWSLETTER NO. 3
MAY 7, 2021
Confirmed! A Concert film?
We have decided that we WILL be creating a full length performance video from the nearly eight hours of live jams we recorded at the end of March. (We’ll trim it down to about an hour).
A Bluray… a DVD…Streaming…. Maybe even a live album….
Ideas are FLOWING now.
Amazon Too?
Last week, we announced that our first three albums are now available on Spotify for endless streaming.
(Here’s the link in case you need it –> ELM TREASON ON SPOTIFY)
We’ve decided that in the next few weeks, we will also be making those same three albums available on Amazon Music. 🙂 Cool, we think.
Your Input: Maybe a Podcast in Our Future?
A podcast??? Really??? Are we so full of ourselves that we’re thinking…. “Yup, we need to hear ourselves talk and share it with people?”
Well, not exactly.
Last week, we asked you guys if you had any ideas for Facebook topics we could use on our page to keep conversations lively! As expected, you came through.
This inspired the idea….
What if we posted a link to a weekly audio clip, maybe three or four minutes long (call it a “podcast” for the want of a better term), where you guys could actually hear Bobby and me (Andy) give our quick opinions on a given topic…and then invite comments.
It would be VERY short… but you could hear us expand on an opinion or idea for a few minutes.
This whole idea is about opening up another channel of interaction with you.
Could be a fun thing to do, no? Thoughts?
VIDEO CORNER
Band Name?
In case you’ve never seen this – or even if you have, and you don’t mind watching it again – here is a short little 90 second video that explains what the band’s name means…and how it came to be…

Bring it on. Next best thing to being live in concert!!
Outstanding, Nancy! We’re just trying to keep all of this interesting and engaging. As soon as we bore OURSELVES, it’s time to quit. LOL. Thank you much.
thank you, Nancy. It will be fun! Looking forward to it!
Perhaps music, full spectrum, if you will. Where it began and where it’s, possibly, heading?? Idk, 1st thought. Have a fantastic weekend! Blessings and Peace y’all
Hey, Rancine! Hope all is well with you and yours. I (Andy) like this idea, frankly. I like the idea of having these kinds of discussions. The key is to somehow do it without boring people, you know? But your perspective is very cool. Hmmmm….. Love it when the mind is triggered by a cool idea. happy weekend! Thanks!
I have a good idea where music began, but where it’s heading is anybody’s guess. But we can have fun speculating. Thanks for the fascinating topic idea.
Something that would be a got topic is the best and worst performances you did and why.
Oh yes… Terrific topic… and I (Andy) think Bobby and I would be in total agreement on a couple of those answers. LOL. GREAT GREAT idea, Darcy.
um er we don’t have a worst performance (cough) {nose growing longer}
Love to see a “concert “ film!
Or documentary.
We would definitely try to put together a “documentary style” program around the footage we shot – with interview bits and stuff like that… We have about an hour’s worth of performance in mind (to be taken from 8 total raw footage.
a documentary would be a dream come true!
That all sounds great, I’m concert STARVED so the video sounds awesome!!!????
You’re not kidding, Sam. We are LITERALLY going through withdrawl here ourselves. WE MISS LIVE MUSIC!!! This was one of the reasons we decided to just play for hours, record it, and see if we could make anything out of it….. The good news is: We think we can! Thank you for the comment, brother.
i think we all feel the same way Sam. Well we got a feast for the ears coming …..
I like the idea idea of you sharing your background, your musical upbringing and influences . I also love your New York accents lol or is us west coasters who have the accent? Haha
LOLOL! Well, if we were ARROGANT New Yorkers, we’d say, “Hey, we were there FIRST. Our accents are the REAL ones!” … but we’re not. LOL. (Not much, we hope) …. Some background material might actually be a TON of FUN to shoot, you know? Love the idea, April… Maybe we could go on location to the places we grew up and shoot some stuff. Hmmm… Very cool idea.
As they say in Brooklyn: Bodabing! fuggetaboutit! We can do music tawk ovah cawfee.
It’ll be a blast!
I’m down with a podcast. Or anything y’all wanna do really. Just here to support y’all in whatever. I’m a new fan but y’all are interesting and seem like cool people so I’m here for it.
Hey, Kris! Fantastic of you to comment. Appreciate it much. Yeah, our thinking is… often times we post things on facebook to get conversations moving, you know? Stuff like, “What was the first record you bought with your own money…” or “What was your first live show?” stuff like that…. but we thought that if maybe we recorded a short little audio clip of us raising a topic, but then expanding on it a bit (instead of just one sentence on a post), it might be fun..and might inspire more people to comment.
Thanks much for the positive words. We are VERY PLEASED to have you out there, Kris. The pleasure is all ours. Honestly.
I’m ready! Thanks so much for the support!
Great ideas, you could put up a challenge for the community to write a line in a song that you guys could put to music you write, give a topic and everyone can contribute, could be good for a laugh or something epic you put the starting line up and comunity builds on it, tben you can record it and put on page.
Something like that.
Wow. GREAT IDEA, actually. Bobby and I were thinking of maybe doing something like this in some context, but we hadn’t developed the idea quite as far as you had. THIS is very very good, Shirley. Truly is. THANK YOU!!! Wheels are turning..
There was a game we used to play in the East Village NYC clubs back in the 90s; — i forget the name– but we would pass a piece of paper around and everyone would write a line then fold the paper so the next person couldn’t see it, then they would have to write a line and fold the paper (no peeking!). After the paper was filled up the “host” (usually the guy who booked the bands) would unfold the paper and read the “poem” that was created. Sometimes the poems would actually kind of make sense (depending upon how much alcohol was in your system). It was always fascinating and sometimes hilarious.
