Pela announces a mini-residency at Mercury Lounge

Pela

Hey everybody,

It's been a while. We've been busy finishing our album over the past 4 months. It's been a long road. We know we haven't done the best job keeping you up-to-date, so here we are. There's a lot we want to catch you up on. But, instead of a long-winded letter right now, we've got a better idea - less talk more rock.

We are extremely excited to announce a few intimate shows we'll be playing in NYC. We've decided to set up a mini-residency at The Mercury Lounge in March. We'll be playing new material with a few oldies and we couldn't think of a better place to do it than in our hometown. The dates are March 3 and March 10. Tickets will go on sale February 6 at Noon.

NOTE: presale tickets are available to Amex cardholders [at noon].

PELA

Openers for both shows TBA. A live Pela video below...

Pela is a killer live band. Their album is really good, but seeing them live is where it is really at.

Definitely an energetic live band. And at least at Mercury Billy won't have to worry about falling off the stage ...

I don't really listen to their record, but the live experience is a really good time.

how are two (2) shows, a complete week apart a 'residency'??

that said, these guys are great and deserve the attention.
