March takes The Stents on the road for a short jaunt up the east coast! March 9th we will be playing in Bridgeport, CT at Two Boots with those puck rockers, The Zambonis as they debut their new long-player "Five Minute Major (in D Minor)" to the hometown crowd. We had a blast sharing the stage with them last fall and this one promises to be just as amazing.

The very next night March 10th, Los Stents travel to Philadelphia, PA to join Philly's own The Improbables at The Green Rock Tavern! We've been grooving to their Dirty Water Records EP "13th Lover" and can't wait to see them live. And we ain't gonna lie, Philly is the land of good eating...pre-gig fasting begins now.

Stay tuned for more action!

Check out this acoustic demo of an all new tune we cooked up called "Major Major". You can hear a fully electrified (and fuzzed out) version THIS flippin' SATURDAY at Stoneleigh Lanes when the boys join the legendary Garage Sale for a night of Rock n' Bowl! We'll be expecting you...

The Stents are back and so is Rock n' Bowl at Stoneleigh Lanes! But that's not all, the boys are playing with legendary surf/garage kings Garage Sale! Saturday, November 19th 10PM! Don't miss it...two bands for the price of one PLUS unlimited bowling and shoe rental. $19 Per person, $9 if you don't particularly like the game of small ball and remember it's BYOB and 18+ admission.

The Stents are only playing a tiny number of public shows from now until New Year's Eve so get in on the action now! See ya there!

Hey there failthul fans! We know it's been a long time since you've heard from The Stents. Too long perhaps. Well, we are here to say that we are, in fact, still alive! After taking off most of the summer (and spring and...) we're ready to rock again and lining up a full card of rock and/or roll.

And...take a gander at this poster: It's for our upcoming show in lovely Trumbull, CT on September 10! We're playing with America's Finest Hockey Band The Zambonis --and we can't say just how juiced we are about this. If you are anywhere near the Trumbull area you MUST stop in and get a piece of rock action. Plus, this gig will be a fundraiser for Marine Corps Marathon runner (and our very own Stent) P. Brown to raise money for The Semper Fi Fund for Injured Marines! Rock + Good Cause + Hockey Band = Pow!

Check in often as we'll be cookin' up a whole new brew this fall!

Come on out for another wailin' night with The Stents as they bring the rock at Mum's in Federal Hill this Friday, April 15th! Normally a stressful and just plain annoying day is now being celebrated by slackers and procrastinators everywhere so why not spend it with Baltimore's favorite middle-aged all-star fantasy music explosion? I just made that up on the spot. Top that. See you this Friday, kiddies. The fun starts around 9PM!

Okay, so it's been a while since you've heard from The Stents. So what's going on? Been up to anything? Oh...us? Yes, we've been very busy. V-E-R-Y busy! We've been writing a ton of new originals with evocative titles like "Just Don't Know" "Make Way For The Deathray" and "Mink Eyes"--I'm sure they'll be your new favorite songs in 2011! We've also been getting ready to start recording (in suspect fidelity) some of your favorite Stent Songs for an upcoming release. And last but not least, Stent T-shirts and swag are coming your way! Promise!

I'm sure the next thing on your mind is "Where can I hear these new songs?" I know! Right? Well, as it turns out we're playing a show on Saturday, FEB 26th at Mum's in Federal Hill. Action starts around 9:30 and goes until the wee hours of the morning. You can expect a full set of originals as well as those obscure gems you've come to love.

And for those of you who can't make it out (and the just plain curious) check back on this here blog thing for demo tracks and live cuts of the new stuff "in progress." Some of these will be taken from solo home recordings, practice sessions or live cuts. It's a real grab bag...some of it might not even end up as Stent music, some of it will be greatly mutated but you can be there to see how it evolves. It's the gift that keeps on giving.

Stay tuned!

Happy New Year!

Just got word that you can still get in to the Stents' Super New Year's Eve Blowout at Stoneleigh Lanes. There is some room left for those who just want to rock the food, fountain (chocolate, dude!) and Ye Olde Stents! Cost is a discounted $16 per person. So come on out and ring in the new year, Stents Style! Fun starts at 9:30, all ages.

See you there, kids!

Just wanted to give you an update on the Stents NYE Blowout at Stoneleigh Lanes...word is that ALL LANES have been BOOKED UP! Yes, I'm tellin' ya, it's a sell out! If you still want to get in on the food, fun and undeniable Stentmusic, you can probably still get in as a non-bowler. Call the Lanes (410 377 8115) to double check or you can track down one of the lucky souls who got a lane. For the rest of you--we'll see you on Friday Night!
