To Xavier University Electronic Media Students and Blis DeVault! as their film, ‘Roller Derby Queens’, featuring music from Mad Anthony and WOOKIE, was accepted into the Cincinnati Film Festival!
‘Roller Derby Queens’ will screen at 8pm Monday September 26th at The Know Theater on Jackson Street in Downtown Cincinnati. You can buy tickets at the box office.
We’ll let you know about future screenings!
All September long we will be the Artists In Residence at The Historic Southgate House in Newport, KY. Every Wednesday this month we will be performing stripped down acoustic versions of our songs. Each night we will have a supporting artist help round out the evening. Last Wednesday our good friend Jake Tippey (The Frankl Project) played 2 amazing sets and we were so happy to have him join us. For the rest of the month our friends Scott Torres (State Song), Brad Loans (The Sundresses) and Margaret Darling (The Seedy Seeds) will be sharing sets with us.
It is NEW VIDEO time as well! We finished a music video for the new single “Bear Attack”. The song itself is available for download and on vinyl at the store or come out to our next show! Special thanks to Gretchen Kunkel, Andy Thomas, Scott Poston, Thomas Vincent and our very own Dave Markey.
Also, check out the Press page to see what people have been saying about us lately. We just finished talking with Nick from Street Vibes about our Artist In Residence stint at Southgate House.
Until next time…

I spent most of today promoting “Roller Derby Queens” a documentary about The Cincinnati Rollergirls, produced by electronic media students at Xavier University, FEATURING music from MAD ANTHONY! It airs TONIGHT (June 3rd, 2011) on WCET-TV (Ch. 48) here in Cincinnati!
Then, this afternoon I helped the most amazing screenprinting queen, Amy Weber, prepare some new T-Shirts for our friends The Dukes, who play TONIGHT (after the documentary) at MOTR pub with our other great friends The Sundresses.
THEN! I came upstairs to find a FedEx Truck standing out my front door… I knew what that meant. THE VINYLS ARE HERE! Now we’re prepping packaging, sending out for press and getting ready for the 7inch whip-out party in August.
ALSO! M.A. is back in action next Friday with a show in Lexington at The Green Lantern, Saturday at Bogart’s in Cincinnati 
(with our best friends Banderas & The Dukes),
then Wednesday June 15 in Cleveland at Bela Dubby, and Thursday at NXNE in Toronto at Slack’s

We played the Smiling Skull in Athens, OH a few days ago… it was awesome. I love when we go on to an empty room and by the end it’s filled and everyone is dancing, drinking, moshing, and yelling back at us. Can’t wait to return.
In other news, we were featured in a radio show spotlighting The Cincinnati Music Scene (along with a ton of our friends). you can check that out here. Special thanks to DJ Lottie for thinking of us and chosing our music from the 100′s of awesome bands in Cincinnati.

we’re playing the LAUNCH Music Conference & Festival in Lancaster, PA next Friday (April 22).
They chose our beautiful faces as the highlight of our stage at the Lizard Lounge, thus it seemed appropriate I post expressing our extreme excitement to be included in such an amazing festival.
We’ve got a bunch of new material we’ve written for our next record. We’ll also have pre-order forms available for our new split 7″ available at the festival (and online soon).
isn’t that sexy,
-Ringo & M@D @NTH()NY
