I know - We say this a lot..... THANK YOU!!!!

Your votes helped us win Best Original Rock Band in the Hartford Advocate
Grand Band Slam!!! This and our recent successful shows at Toads Place and
the Wormtown Music Festival have made this by far our best year yet! So...
Come out and reap the harvest of all our collective efforts at Pig's Eye
Pub in Hartford next Thursday, Sept 25th at 11PM for the Grand Band Slam!
Here's what the Advocate had to say about our win....

Fans of former Band Slam titans the Silent Groove are clearly out there in
force, fiending for a mix of rock and rap that has nothing to do with Limp
Bizkit. They've found their fix in Middletown's StraddleDaddy, a six-piece
hype machine with a singer, a rapper and a beatbox. These heathens play
what they call "moxie rock," and boast a repertoire of over 60 original
tunes and dozens of covers. It's high energy party music -- think Sublime
on speed instead of pot.

Love it!!!!

And Dan Barry from the Advocate checked out our set at The Chilli Cook off...

On Sunday, Middletown's Tuscany Grill hosted its annual Chili Competition
& Rock Fest, and they set up a big stage in their parking lot right off of
Main Street. I went and saw StraddleDaddy, who just won the Grand Band
Slam Original Rock category. Criticisms about their name aside ? it's the
most local thing since Stanley Tools ? they were actually very
entertaining. They played a weird mix of Chili Peppers-style party rock
(big fat basslines; thinly-veiled and comical sex lyrics) and jam-band
improv. Quite an eclectic combo, but it works. Bassist Shawn Larochelle
ripped out some incredible slap playing, and MC Symes struck a wonderful
balance of humor and seriousness without ever once coming off as another
annoying white rock-rapper.

Ha! -...

Lets show some love next week...
