Casey Shea : Welcome To Tally Hall

Last night I made my triumphant return to The Bowery Ballroom. It had been about a year and a half since THIS happened!
This time around I had the pleasure of playing with the band Tally Hall. A group I met way back in 2006 when I opened for them at a show in New Jersey after digitally meeting them on myspace.
That was back when they were still unsigned and still lived in Michigan. Fast forward four years, and things have changed….they live in Brooklyn, they’re signed to Atlantic Records, and they have knocked out a 10 episode season of quite possibly the best Internet show EVER!
Due to some unforseen circumstances, one of their members (Joe Hawley – red tie) is unable to go on their March tour, so here I am filling in!
It’s been a bit crazy learning a whole set of pretty complicated material in a very short time….my brain feels like their album cover. I’ve survived so far….I’m filling some pretty big shoes, but their fans have been very supportive, so I’m quite thankful for that!
Last night was awesome….packed show and an amazing audience! The other two bands on the tour, Skybox and Jukebox The Ghost, destroyed! Then we took the stage and kept the complete and total domination going, starting with an electric set and then moving off the stage and down onto the floor for the acoustic set where all 550 people in attendance sat while we played unplugged.
Today we begin three weeks of madness! Looking forward to it, though it’s quite sad to leave Langhorne on the day of our 5 year anniversary!!!???!! (Yes, I agree she’s awesome, and no, I don’t know how she puts up with me either.)
I’m currently in the back of the van…we just had Wendy’s…those junior bacon cheeseburgers may be the end of me.
PS – Do yourself a favor and check out their Internet show!
