Hello you handsome devils,

Spring is around the corner, but even if you hate sunny days there are great reasons to be happy in the coming weeks - Morrissey is on tour again! His 'Tour of Refusal' is coming to some amazing venues in the NYC area, and The Sons & Heirs are excited to be helping continue the celebration of his music with performances of our own at some amazing after parties for Moz's shows in NYC and Philadelphia.

Morrissey's NYC run begins this Saturday 3/21 with a highly anticipated performance at Bowery Ballroom - join us afterwards around the corner at nearby Crash Mansion, where we've been invited to do a short set for a Moz-themed edition of DJ Xris Smack's monthly party Stimulate, which will also feature a guest set by DJ Jess, former frontman for now disbanded Smiths/Moz tribute 'The Salford Lads.'

On Sunday 3/22, we follow Morrissey down to Philly, where after his show at Academy of Music we'll continue the party at The Khyber just a few blocks away. Philly's own DJ Chris X will be mixing it up before and after our set with some choice Moz-related cuts.

It all leads up to the big NYC finale - Mozzer's run in the city will culminate with a performance at the legendary Carnegie Hall, after which we'll host the after party at the fabulous BB King's in Times Square!

So come join us as we pay tribute to the music of Morrissey & The Smiths - we've carefully selected sets for these shows to include many songs that Moz rarely plays now and even some songs, new to our set list, that he's NEVER performed live before... Don't miss this chance to hear all your favorite songs, both the ones he'll be performing and the ones you wish he would!!

Phily afterparty tonight - it's gonna be great!

 

[Darth Vegan]

thank you to everyone who came out to the Philly afterparty last night. I think i actually had more fun there than at the actual show!

Special thanks to Jonny and the Sons and Heirs, and to Skinner for roping me into this craziness in the first place, and for making soda runs for me while I "worked." And to Mike at the Khyber, even though he isn't reading this, I just want to put into writing my appreciation for his efforts all night.

The band sounded incredible, and the choice of setlist was fantastic, I had a blast spinning, and it looked like everyone present was enjoying the evening.

Let's do it again soon!

As posted in the Philly Roll Call thread in the Tour forum, but worth repeating here to echo Darth Vegan's sentiments:

I just wanted to chime in on behalf of The Sons & Heirs to say that we thoroughly enjoyed every minute of the festivities in Philly on Sunday. Our sincerest gratitude goes out to everyone who came out and partied with us at The Khyber, but especially to Skinner & Darth Vegan/DJ Chris X, without whom the event would not have happened.

Philadelphia has quickly become one of our favorite cities to play, and it's mainly due to all of the fantastic ladies and gents on this forum who have made our recent visits there so worthwhile! We hope to be back soon, and also to maybe see some of you again at some of the upcoming Moz shows and/or @ BB King's after Carnegie Hall this Thursday!

We always try to encourage buying tickets in advance, as we can never guarantee that they'll be available at the door - however, in all likelihood you should be fine getting tix at the door for this one if you prefer.

Lovely time.

His name is Liam Fray

He recently played the same song at The Courteeners last gig in the UK before they headed off to the US, a duet with Miles Kane from The Rascals - you can find it on youtube.

Very good version
