GROOVY NOODLES
THE ELM TREASON NEWSLETTER NO. 5
MAY 21, 2021
On the Hunt
What does a two-man band searching for new listeners do?
They create a “fan finder video,” of course! (aptly named)
We have decided that we would like to invite more people in our “eco-system,” but in this day and age, acoustic-banging rock n roll dudes don’t get a ton of love, so we have to be our own promo people.
Thus, we shot ourselves performing three different songs live, showcasing the heart and soul of what we do.
We will “send out” these performances to cold audiences most likely to respond to our sound. We will see which one attracts more people. We’ve chosed “Days of Reaction,” “Just Like Rock and Roll” and “Still Around” as “bait.”
A Huge THANKS
We probably don’t say this enough…. but we’d like to utilize this newsletter space to THANK YOU most sincerely for the support you show us… and for making all of this a ton of fun for us.
We’d also like to thank the universe for L&B Pizza on 86th Street in Brooklyn.
BEST. SQUARES. EVER.
Your Input: Need Some PUN-tastic ideas
So, it’s looking more and more like we are actually going to release a LIVE album/DVD set sometime later this year. (You’ll recall we told you that at the end of March, we recorded ourselves running through what would essentially be our two-man live set… several times…with three cameras and a proper soundboard recording).
So, as we prepare this package for, hopefully, a Christmas-time release, we need your help.
We need a GREAT name for the project – something that plays on the word “Treason” somehow and reflects the fact that this is us performing live – just the two of us, doing that thing we do.
We love puns.
As an example, one idea we had for a Christmas CD project we were working on a few years back was “Treason’s Greetings.“
That kind of thing.
Maybe it’s not even a play on the word “Treason.” Anything good! We TREASURE your input.
VIDEO CORNER
I Like it There
This clip is an exclusive – available nowhere else. (This YouTube link is NOT public). Here we are rehearsing our song “I Like it There” off our second album (Acoustic Treason). The song was brand new when this was recorded and we were fine tuning it. It is one of our favorite lyrics…ever. (And we dig the harmonies, too). Enjoy! (lyrics on screen)

Pen of Steel
Last week, our own Bobby Steel made the connection between Elm Treason and classical music. This week, he solidifies the binds between the Treason sound and PROG ROCK.

The season for treason
That’s a good one
Tis The Season For Treason ????
Nancy, you ROCK! Love this much. Has that familiar roll of the tongue. It’s short. Sweet. Well played. Thanks for the input.
With Christmas being chaos for everyone why not call it The Season For Treason
Makes perfect sense, Darcy. This year, we expect the Christmas season to be ALL KINDS of chaotic, so this may be just what the doctor ordered. LOVE your suggestion!
Treason is the reason , I was thinking for Xmas Treason is the Reason for the season lol but might offend some. I’ll keep thinking ???? you keep being awesome ! Thanks for keeping me posted❤️
I (Andy) like it, April! Much. I agree that we don’t want to intentionally offend people…but these days, it seems that even saying “hello” is offensive to some…. so we just go with what sounds good. SO appreciate your input, April!
“Treason for the Season “
??
Nice. LOVE these puns, brother. Some seasonal treason works well for all of us, we think.
Unwrapped Treason
Live x 2Treason
Treason Unwrapped Twice ( TUT )
Dennis, TOTALLY digging this. TUT! Something to add to the Elm Treason folklore. “What does ‘TUT’ mean?” Love it!
twelve days of Treason
Very cool, Michael. Maybe a twelve-track release with each song representing a different day. 🙂 Thanks, man. Dig it much!
A Treasonously Elmish Christmas Carol… Like a rock and roll twist of the classic story as told through the sounds of Andy and Bobby 😀
THAT is actually amazingly clever, Zwifalt! It appeals to me (Andy) on so many levels, actually. I am enamoried of the word “Elmish.” Outstanding, brother.
Three things: I 10 really like that you put the lyrics on the videos. Your Unique harmonies tickle my synapses. Fine finger work, Bobby! ❤️
Now THAT is a killer triad, Shelley. Many thanks to you. Sincerely. This band NEEDS you out there in our corner. 🙂
Loving the news letters, so good getting it every Friday,
Hard to think of christmas titles in this politically correct sensitive world,
“Christmas Elm T.”
Hi Shirley! So VERY PLEASED you’re digging these newsletters. We don’t want them to become excersizes in self-aggrandizement.. but a little way for us to stay in touch. Brevity is the soul of social media, we feel. A little fun, a little music and lots of interaction. 🙂
“Live Elm Trees, Son?”
Live Elm Treason, Daddy-O!
Ok, Corny, I know…
LOLOLOL! Actually, NOT BAD at all, Paul….
