february 2009

Happy New Year everyone! 2009 is officially the year of The Biltmores! We have a lot of new and exciting stuff to share with the world. As always, we have been very busy playing shows in the Chicago-land area. We recently took a trip to Bloomington, IN to play a show at Rhino's and we had a blast. We look forward to the possibility of playing there again and hope to play in Wisconsin sometime soon as well. We will be sure to keep everyone updated as to our whereabouts as soon as the news breaks…

Speaking of news…

NEW MERCHANDISE // We are VERY happy to announce the arrival of new t-shirts. We have ordered the first batch of our "rocking friar" logo t-shirts which should arrive by mid-February. The t-shirts will be available at all of our shows as well as online in the months to come.

NEW VIDEO // We are in the final phase of editing our very first music video for our song "Sadgrass" off of our second album Never Go Home. The video will have a "throwback" feel to it, so we are really excited to share it with everyone.

NEW ALBUM // Yes, yes, we are at it again. Sort of. Well, the album isn't done yet, and in fact, we haven't even started recording it. But... we have written a lot of it and have booked recordin dates! That's right – The Biltmores are planning on heading back to the studio at The Phantom Manor with friend, producer, and spiritual-guide Mike Lust in early spring, and we couldn't be more excited.

NEW SHOWS // We are constantly performing and booking new shows in the Chicago area. We have a very special "All Cover Song" show coming up on Valentine's Day at Lilly's. We have never played an all cover song set but have been steadfastly preparing some old and new classics. We really hope to see you there!

As always, thank you for your continued support, and keep checking back for updates in the near future.

P.S. HAPPY BIRTHDAY to drummer Brendan Leonard! Here's to another great year!

Happy Halloween from the Biltmores! We have a couple updates we'd like to make everyone aware of.

First, we have many shows coming up in the Chicago area in the next couple of weeks so be sure to keep checking back often for more details. We are also in the midst of planning a string of shows in late '08 and early '09 in Wisconsin and Indiana, which we will keep everyone informed on.

Second, our talented friend and artist Chris Mitchell is finalizing a design for new Biltmores t-shirts that will be available at shows and hopefully online soon. We have seen some sketches and we must say, they are lookin' pretty awesome.

Finally, like usual we are diligently at work on new material. We hope to see you at our upcoming shows where you can check out new tunes, new merchandise, and say hello! Thanks to all for visiting and for your support.

may 2008

Welcome back to TheBiltmores.com! A lot has happened since we last had the site up and running: We packed up, left Rhode Island, and relocated to the great city of Chicago! With our great friend and producer Mike Lust, we finished our follow up record, Never Go Home in late fall of last year. Once the sessions were wrapped up, George parted ways with us to enjoy life with his growing family in Massachusetts. Brendan's cousin Kevin Leonard joined the group as bassist in early 2008. Under this new line up, we have been playing a few select shows and prepping both old and new material… .

We are EXTREMELY pleased to announce that Never Go Home is now available online and at shows. We expect it to be available for purchase on iTunes and Amazon.com in the summer. The Biltmores have also been included in some television programs recently, including featured spots on "The Ride of Our Lives", and "Free Radio".

We encourage you to keep coming back to thebiltmores.com in the future, as updates will be more frequent and regular. We anticipate booking many shows for Summer 2008 as well as releasing our very first music video!

Thanks for visiting,
