July 16th 2011 marked the celebration of one of EGRESS' dearest friends and biggest supporter, Gil Cnaan. It was the one year anniversary of his brain-child, Dorians Parlor and also happened to be our very own TYRANT TAYLOR's birthday, AND the new egress tour vans Maiden Voyage. 

 We loaded her up with a crew of nine and shuddled down the turnpike to philadelphia for the events celebration.

All around the evening was a blast and there was a wonderful turnout! We took the stage at 11ish and played our 40 minute set with some new additions on Cal, on trombone and John, on trumpet! After our usual set of shananigans, and hooligans we had  a birthday cake extravaganza. Shortly after, Voltaire took the stage and inbetween  playing a number of songs off his up coming "all star" album he announced that We will be accompanying him on tour tis fall!! We. ARE. Very. Excited.

    Amoung the excitment id have to say the following were my favorite parts of the evening:
1. the wonderful singing of happy birthday to taylor by our friends and fans of dorians!
2. the amazing gift that our very dear friends and partners adam and vanessa cohen gave taylor. which consisted of a beautiful collage of pictures from all of our excursions together.
3. seeing the enjoyment from the friends, fans, and newbees in the audience during our set.

Anywho, all around it was a splendid time, but now its back to work for we are working on 2 new eps for the tour this fall as well as new songs and antics!!! BWAHAHAHAHA see you in September!

On June 24th 2011, This Way to the Egress and our Wonderful troupe of Performers, friends, Supporters and frequent offenders gathered at Asbury Lanes in Asbury Park N.J for our Debut record Release of "This Delicious Cabaret"!!  I have to say, I am still astonished that it has come and gone.
It was a really long couple of weeks leading up to the event, by the time the day had come us egressians were over tired, overwhelmed and desperately trying to be over organized. Regardless, the evening went with out a hitch. We had doubled our kickstarter goal (many thanks to all who helped) and were surrounded by bowling, dancing and all around silliness!

apart of the bill that evening was NY based, Amour Obscur and Hellblinki made the trek all the way from N.C. we started the evening off with a pre doors fire show in front of the lanes ,since we weren't going to allow it to totally rain on our parade. Our wonderful group of friends performed their daring talents while the rest of us musicians played some songs and I have to say that M.J McCauley got some amazing shots ( the photos in this blog)
