Halloween Bash With The Whammies!
The greatest Halloween party now features The Ghostbusting Whammies! That's right, come to Jefferson Hall and relive with us one of the greatest movie's from the 80's. If you try real hard to think about nothing, maybe Dove will turn into the Stay Puffed Marshmellow Man, or we can get Jeff to levitate 3 feet above the stage so he can sing into Dove's microphone. If you choose to come celebrate with us, it will be a night you won't forget. I even hear that there could be prizes for best costumes. When you are done partying with us, don't forget to let us know what songs you would like to hear at upcoming shows. Click Here to participate and have a say in what we play Remember if you run into one of us dressed in our Ghostbusting garb, "don't cross the streams"

Important Calendar Updates!
We apologize for any inconveniences this might cause but, there are some calendar changes on the horizon. We found out Friday that Sneaky Pete's in Milford was packing away the ripped jeans and black tee-shirts of rock-n-roll and trading them in for some cowboy hats. Since we didn't have enough time to relearn all of our songs as if we were a Garth Brooks cover-cover band before this Saturday, we will have this night off. Also, we were informed the same day that the Porch gig on 9/12 will not happen. Do not fear, they are not changing formats on us, but instead will shut down for major renovations for about a month. Make sure to catch us at the Porch at our next gig upon their re-opening. I am sure it will be worth the wait. And finally, JD Legends have decided to let us play on 10/4 for yet another Buckeye Bash against the Wisconsin Badgers. Make sure you join as at that show. (Holly, try this one for Tina's bachelorette party....lol). See you soon, The Whammies!

Recent Website Outages!
We apologize for our recent website disruptions. Jeff was actually going to make one of his semi-annual updates to the website, but Jason had already began transferring it to the new hosting plan. Blame it on the drummer! Anyway, our e-mail and pictures will be back up shortly. So keep an eye out for them. To keep yourself busy this Thursday night (since our pictures are down), West Chester has agreed to let us perform in their new park from 6-8PM. We will be at Union Centre Square in front of the clock tower. (And yes, Karen, we know they also play there in a couple weekends, so you can scout out a spot on that lawn as well when Danny sings Too Shy and you feel like killing time for about 4 minutes. See you all there, your friends, The "technology challenged" Whammies.)

Happy 4th of July!
The Whammies wish you a safe and happy independence day!

Congrats Aaron Thomas
Congratulations and a huge Thank You goes out to your newest Whammie, Aaron Thomas! He officially ended the 2008 Cincy Idol competition somewhere in the wee hours of April 6th after our last show at Jefferson Hall. Come see us very soon and welcome him aboard. He will not let you down, as he didn't us. Heck, he even busted out a G string at the last show.... or was that broke a G string? Either way, come party with us and keep your ears open as we are bound to be bringing more new 80's material your way soon. Check out the calendar for this summer's great shows just added!

Were gonna be hangin' out this Saturday, April
5th at Jefferson Hall At Newport On The Levee. We'll start crankin' out your
favorite 80's hits about 10pm. Be sure to get there early. Not sure why, just
do. We'll again be graced by the presence of one Aaron Thomas. He'll be helping
us rock you all night long. So walk, jog or run. Just get there!

Annie's this Friday!!
03.06.08
Moving on...
So, we will start the post mike era with a date
at Annie's. Yes, that Annie's. We'll be there Friday, March 14th. We'll have
more details as we get closer. Just wanted to give you a heads up so you can
mark your calendars. It should be a good time. Stay tuned...
02.21.08
The end of an era
As some of you already know, Mike is leaving us
to pursue personal interests. It is a sad day indeed for us here in Whammyville.
We hate to see him go, but wish him nothing but the best in all his future
endeavors. Come out this weekend and say goodbye to him in style.
For your convenience, you have two chances to see him off. His farewell tour
starts Friday, February 22nd at Jefferson Hall in Newport, KY and will wind up
on Saturday the 23rd at Sneaky Pete's in Milford, OH. Please come out either, or
better yet, both nights and give him the sendoff he deserves.
As for the Whammies, we will labor on while trying to find someone to fill
Mike's mighty big shoes. Stay tuned for details.
Thanks, Mike. We'll miss you. ...sniff, sniff...

Happy New Year! (a little late)
Well, the month's half over, but it's never too
late to wish all of you a happy 2008! We hope to see each and every one of you
in the upcoming year. Start it off right by joining us this Saturday night,
January 19th at Jefferson Hall. We'll be kicking of our 2008 tour about 10:00.
Hope to see you there!!
12.28.07
Rhino's
First of all, we want to wish each and every
one of you a bright and shiny new year.
Come on out to Rhino's this Saturday and join us for New year's eve boot camp.
Get your self in partying shape with us. It should be a great time!!
11.28.07
Rhino's, Danny update and new dates added
Howdy! we like to take this opportunity to
invite each and every one of you to come on out to Rhino's Bar And Grill this
Friday, November 30. We'll be taking the stage about 10pm. You surely don't want
to miss the fun!
On a semi-related note; if for no other reason, you should be in attendance to
wish Danny a speedy recovery. Our own Mr. Humpty Dumpty had a great fall. Mr.
Conrad was attempting to rid the roof of leaves and decided that he would rather
be back down on the deck gazing at the beautiful autumn sky. A few broken ribs
later and a little morphine, he's as good as factory refurbished. Come and watch
him wince as he struggles to remove his guitar. You'll be rolling on the floor
as he struggles to take deep breath. Seriously, he's damn lucky he didn't break
his neck. But, like the trooper he is, he's going to give it his best shot just
for you.
We hope to see you there!!
PS. There are some new dates on our schedule page.

WOW!!
Sorry for the delay in getting back to you, but
we're still recuperating from last Sunday night. You put the Whammies in a room
full of beauticians, stylists, artists or whatever you wanna call them,
you've got a recipe for a good time. These folks really know how to party and
actually taught us thing or two. Mike even got some product (photos soon) and
learned to speak Russian. Hopefully, we'll see them again soon!
So now we get ready for
J.D. Legends this week. We'll be part of the
Buckeye Tailgate Bash. Come out and join us for the Ohio State/Purdue game on
some huge TVs. We'll be starting at 7:00, going until game time, playing at
halftime and after the game. The weather's going to be great for October, heck,
great for August so come on out!
OK, OK, OK!

Danke schön
In other words, Thanks beautifully. We had a
great time at the MainStrasse Oktoberfest. We made some new friends, caught up
with some old ones and filled ourselves with wienerwurst .We appreciate all of
you hanging around even though your clothes were stuck to you. Must be something
about German festivals...
We now set our sights on next Saturday, September 15th when we will be back in
the commonwealth at Jefferson Hall in gorgeous Newport, Kentucky. Please come
and join us, won't you? (Karen & Steve, you might just want to pitch a tent in
the parking lot.)
Also, before you leave here, if you
haven't already, PLEASE SIGN UP ON OUR E-MAIL LIST! It's free!
NEW PICTURES ADDED!

Fireworks are now posted. Enjoy!

Boom!
First of all, we'd like to send out a big Whammies
congratulations to Mr. & Mrs. Jim Klosterman. We had a great time with them,
their families and friends Saturday night. We also appreciate them putting off
their honeymoon just so they could join us at the Cincinnati Bell/WEBN Fireworks
on Sunday. Hopefully you guys will be as happy as you were those two days for
many years to come. ( of course you probably won't be drinking that much every
day. we hope...)
As stated above, we had a great time at the Klosterman wedding.
As we awoke
bright and early on Sunday, we wondered, "How can we top last night?" "Let's go
down to the river with a few of our closest friends and shoot off some
fireworks." Brilliant!!
We had boatloads of fun Sunday night in Newport. The Snowie booth kept us nice
and cool. For that, we are eternally grateful. We met a bunch of interesting
people, for sure. Hopefully we'll do it again soon. Well, not too soon.
On to this weekend. You will find us donning our lederhosen and grabbing some
schnitzel (hee hee) at The
Mainstrasse Oktoberfest in
Covington, Ky.
We'll be cranking it up at about 8:00pm. So come on down and knock back a few
cold ones and grab some wienerwurst (hee hee).
Before you leave here, if you haven't already, PLEASE SIGN UP ON OUR E-MAIL
LIST! It's free!
Auf Wiedersehen.

A weekend off.
Sorry for the lack of news updates.
We really haven't been sitting around twiddling our thumbs, though. Actually, we
were held captive by a couple of woodland nymphs while visiting the fine city of
Franklin. It took all the strength we could muster, but we finally broke free of
their enchanting spell and began our arduous trek southward. After some therapy,
we are ready to get back at it again.
We will be resting this weekend in anticipation of the big end of summer bash -
The Cincinnati Bell/WEBN Fireworks on Sept. 2nd. We will be on the Kentucky side, in Newport
near Newport On The Levee, starting at 7:30 and going until they start
the show.
Until then, check our schedule page for some changes and additions, our photo
page for some new photos and for goodness' sake, sign up on our e-mail list.
Bye.

Really. Go see!

One HOT Weekend!
HOT ENOUGH FOR YA? Sorry, just had to do it. It was
was plenty hot for us last weekend on what has become know as "viaje del fuego",
"путешествие пожара" or "viaggio di fuoco". (bablefish
'em)
Friday at Colerain Park was Sizzlin' as promised, right down to the circuits we
fried. (thanks for your patience) Saturday in Deer Park (sounds like a Dutch
version of a Chicago song) was also a good time. We got to meet up with some old
friends and sweat a bit.
But, SUNDAY SUNDAY SUNDAY! WOW! I think there will be a proclamation declaring
Goettafest '07 now officially be know as "Saunafest". Somehow amid the
deafening
calliope and the searing heat we muddled through thanks in part to
Busken's Goetta Goobers and
the Goetta Nachos & Goetta Wraps from the
Colonial Cottage. The latter being served up by the wonderful
Heather. Thanks to all
of you who stuck it out with us. We appreciate it.
Now, back to the hydration therapy...

Take me out to the ballgame...
We're oilin' up our gloves, pine tarrin' our bats and stretchin' our
groins in preparation for our big show at Gameday Sports Cafe on Saturday after
the Reds/Cubs game. Come on out and watch us bring our "A" game while giving
110%. We know the intangibles will be the key and even though it'll be a total
team effort, someone will step up and get the job done. We're just gonna try to
keep our focus and not beat ourselves. We'll just take it one song at a time...
07.18.07
No Whammies!!
Well, as much as we hate to do this to you, there will be no
Whammies this weekend. I know, it's tough. Maybe you can spend this weekend
picking your outfit for Saturday, July 28th when you come to see us at Gameday
Sports Cafe. We will be spending each and every waking moment thinking of you
until then. Be
strong.
07.06.07

What an interesting weekend!
J.D. Legends
was a great time. Jason got to show off for his hometown crowd. See, he's not
all that bad... Also, all of us couldn't help but feel the massive buzz
surrounding the arrival of Vanilla Ice on Saturday. We're sure he put on a great
show, performing all of his hit(s).
Jefferson Hall on Saturday was another
adventure in itself. Highlighted by a young lady from the Kentucky school
for the performing arts, it was, all in all, another captivating evening.
No Whammies!! next weekend. We'll be busy honing our skills
and learning some new material for yous guys. Check back often. We promise to
keep this thing updated.
Really.
P.S We're also working on all the broken links on our site.
Thanks in advance for your patience.
If you need to get in touch with us, for now,
follow the "My Space" link to your left and leave us a message
there.
Thanks!
