8 years, 1,000+ shows, 6 cds, 8 members and no regrets. Boulder Acoustic Society has been a wild ride. Besides all the great music and wonderful people we have met, BAS also provided us with the skills and contacts to build our careers on. It is with sad and grateful hearts that we announce the end of Boulder Acoustic Society.

Big thank yous to all the people who bought tickets and merch, fed us, housed us, bought us beer and made us feel safe and welcome on the road. Thanks to all our families for supporting our great experiment. Thanks to all our partners, promoters, agents, managers, co-conspirators, cohorts and minions for believing in us and risking your money and reputation. We could not have done anything without all of you and the time and energy you sank into us. Another sincere thank you coming your way: thank you.

Don’t worry, we are staying busy: Neil is playing bass with Safe Boating Is No Accident, The Pink Hawks and The Quiet American as well as freelance. Scott McCormick has a new band called Lee Avenue that features his original music and is freelancing photography, design and music. Scott Aller took a business development manager position with Ticketmaster/Live Nation, still runs his music business consulting firm 5280 live and is playing drums with Lee Avenue. Aaron is moving to Hood River, OR to build musical instruments for Mya-Moe and focus on his solo project, The Quiet American. Please see below for links and contact info.

Lastly, we are looking to sell our trusty van, Black Betty/Kevin. It is a tricked out Dodge/Mercedes Sprinter with cargo area, dvd player and lots of bad attitude. Email Aller if you are interested.

Alas, tonight indicates the ending of a three week long tour across the US. We had a blast in each and every place. Thanks to everyone who came and saw us in Buffalo, Crivitz, Ann Arbor, Black Mountain, Charlotte, Raleigh, Knoxville, Nashville, and tonight in Kansas City.

To recap a few highlights:

Aller chipped his tooth on the microphone while beat boxing at Crivestivous Festival
Playing Ben Fold’s Piano at his studio in Nashville
Home made Absinthe from our friend Sarah in Black Mountain

DENVER LISTEN UP!

This Saturday at 4:30p we’re taking the UMS Main Stage by Storm! Please come join us, it’s one of the best musical events that Denver has to offer. Also, we just added Denver’s newest festival to our line up. We’ll be playing the Green Route Festival in late August with many other fantastic local bands! Please add these two events to your “Things To Do” list!

Hey All! We’re currently playing putt putt in Buffalo, WY after SLAYING a set at the Big Horn Mountain fest. Loser of each hole drinks a shot of Makers Mark.

Aside from that, there is a competition in Knoxville, TN to see who gets to play with us on July 17th. We’re not completely sold on the fact that playing with us is worth competing over, but it’s pretty bad ass none the less and we can’t wait to see who we have the honor of sharing the stage with. If you’re interested in competing, here are the details:

1. Show up to sign-up 7:30 this coming Monday night. If you can’t be there, you can’t play! There are 14 spots avail to perform and it’s first come first serve. If more than 14 performers show up at 7:30 there will be a lottery.

2. Tell your friends to come and vote for you. Yes, it’s audience voting plus there are 3 professional music industry judges TBA at the show.

3. Voting audience members must be there from 8-10 in order to turn in a ballot. Ballots will be collected at 10 and the winner announced after the featured performer NATALIE PRASS!

Regardless of the outcome, we’re totally stoked to be back in the SOUTH EAST! Please check our schedule to see if we’re playing near you.
