Donerail's Official Website — Portland Band

So, now that everyone has moved on to digital audio the Beatles are finally giving proper reissues to their catalog!

Honestly, though – it looks to be a pretty rad collection. Every album will have an accompanying documentary and be packaged as their original (and superior) UK releases. In addition, the first half of their collection that was released before stereo recording will be available in the wonderful original sound of Mono.

Hey, when the do things, they do ‘em right…and, 10 years late.

More details here and from Apple/EMI.

Greetings,

We recently revamped our home on the web, we hope you like it. It’s taken a lot of work from Nate and Trask Bedortha, and we couldn’t be more pleased. Be sure to pay attention to the site for more frequent updates, blog posts and news.

Thank you for all your support.

and we are all lucky for it

Thanks to all who showed up last night. It was a great gig and a helluva way to get Duncan into the mix. Pretty good setlist and fantastic support from the audience. It felt really good to get back on stage (it’s been a long time!) even though I was unusually nervous for this one.

My name is James; I’m new to the Donerail team, so bear with me, as there is so much news to inform you about.

First off, Donerail will be playing a show in Portland at KELLY’S OLYMPIAN this coming Tuesday, July 22nd with our friends Hutson. Donerail will be playing first at 9pm, so don’t be late. This will also mark the first gig for Donerail’s new drummer Duncan!

Next, the boys will be heading down to Eugene to play McSHANE’S BAR & GRILL on Saturday, July 26th. It’s going to be a full night of music, and this time, we’ll be welcoming back original Donerail drummer, Dain! We’d booked this one before Duncan was added to the band, so this is a one-time only event – it’s kinda like when Van Halen got back together for that one performance and no one told Dave that he wasn’t back in the band…although, I’m pretty sure Dain knows better

Oh yeah, Donerail has a new drummer – Duncan John. Please welcome him the next time you see the band. We wish all the best for Sean.

jP made me put this part in:
I assure you an album is forthcoming! It’s in the mastering phase right now, and soon we’ll have a name and some artwork for you to drool over. In the meantime, be sure to check out our myspace (www.myspace.com/donerail) and website (www.thedonerail.com) for some new songs. Don’t forget about our blog (www.thedonerail.com/blog), we’ll be putting up stories from the recordings and from the road soon.

Here are the details for the shows:

Jul 22
KELLY’S OLYMPIAN
426 SW Washington
Portland, OR 97204

Jul 26
McSHANE’S BAR & GRILL
86495 College View Rd

We look forward to seeing you Tuesday night, July 22nd, 9pm, at Kelly’s Olympian; and Saturday, July 26th, 9pm, at McShane’s!!

Just checking in. We should be getting our mixes back from Ezra today, I’m looking forward to sitting down and listening for a couple of days. We’re working on trying to schedule a couple gigs to get ourselves back in the swing of things before we do a CD release. More to come…

Come join us in Seattle this Saturday at the Skylark Cafe!

Happy St. Pat’s!
