Word on this street is that Secret Dakota Ring will be playing the Serious Business Records Christmas Party in NYC on December 20. Word on the street, in this instance, happens to be correct. Here’s the info from Mr. Business himself:
SERIOUS BUSINESS RECORDS

The Homosexuals
Benji Cossa
Secret Dakota Ring
The Unsacred Hearts
Higgins
Rocketship Park
Looker
Jack and the Pulpits

8PM-11PM don’t be late!!! * REVUE BEGINS AT 8 SHARP!
@ THE STUDIO @ WEBSTER HALL
http://www.websterhall/thestudio
125 E. 11th Street between 3rd and 4th Avenues
NEW YORK, NYA three hour tour of non-stop music from your favorite Serious Business super-friends.
There is no better time than the Holidays to celebrate togetherness! Community! Feeling good! Serious Business dares to get happy on Saturday, December 20 with its now-annual Holiday Party and Revue. We’re cramming everyone we know into the new Studio at Webster Hall, we’re cramming nine acts into three hours, we’re cramming multitudinous musical gifts into your tender ear-holes, we’re cramming love in your hearts!
Its an old school 60s styled REVUE with the Serious Business super-family sharing the following: equipment, points of view, an evening of revelry and celebration! Your best Christmas party! No egg nog! Your first New Year’s Party! Yes!! SERIOUS BUSINESS!!! Bring it on!
some fun facts—
–Gift giving!! We’ll be giving away lovingly crafted CD copies of The Year In Business: 2008, the second annual installment of our all-free year-end hits compilation series.
-The show starts EARLY! 8PM SHARP! COME EARLY!! Make a night of it! Dress nicely! Don’t roll in late like a jerk! You’ll miss everything! People will leer at you! Its Christmas! Be nice! Make it nice around the TREE!
-Benji Cossa will be performing all Christmas numbers!
-Jack and the Pulpits make their first ever official public appearance! Hopefully they’ll play “Dance Area”
-Sadly The Two Man Gentlemen Band will be absent. In their place they send new recorded music, their 4th album Drip Drying with the Two Man Gentlemen Band, which we’ll listen to some of!
-In the absence of Andy Bean (see previous fun fact), the Unsacred Hearts will reunite with original bass-man Andy Ross who will also be fronting his band Secret Dakota Ring (which features members of the Unsacred Hearts, Rocketship Park and Higgins…and the Homosexuals…and Jack and the Pulpits…and more.)
-The Homosexuals play their last show until spring 2009!
As the text indicates, it’s gonna be a warp speed evening, so if you were at the last SDR show, I wouldn’t expect anything longer. But we’ll bring all the hits, I guarantee it.
Also, contest prizes should go out in the middle of the month. No need to be camping out by the mailbox yet, unless you’re waiting for your Jonas Brothers tickets.

Happy New Year, Andy!
Any chance we’ll get another blog soon?
5. Rosa | January 5th, 2009 at 1:10 pm
Happy New Year Andy!
I just had an idea to further harrass…(*ahem* I mean “gently induce”) Andy into blogging here again. Writting crap…I mean blogging here ourselves! Ain’t that fun?
I’ll have to come up with something, let’s see…
6. Rosa | January 5th, 2009 at 1:38 pm
Let the randomness begin,
I’m receiving this new year as the proud sister of the bass player in one of the best german indie bands out there. Yep, my bro’s band, inexplicably named Dynamic Pony (if I’m not mistaken they were thinking about changing it to Spacescraper, but maybe that’s just my imagination) finally came around with a fresh batch of songs! and they’re totally wonderful! You may hear them at drums.dontexist.com (no www at the beginning). They’re currently looking for a new drums player btw so if anyone here knows of a lonely drums player in Köln, Germany…yeah, I didn’t think so either…
7. Rachel | January 23rd, 2009 at 2:35 pm
Andy, dear. It’s been over a month since the Ser Biz Holiday show. I rather enjoyed it too, but I think it’s time we moved on and started talking about what’s next for Secret Dakota Ring. Or at least got to hear what you got for Christmas. How you spent New Year’s. What your thoughts were on the inauguration. It was here - http://www.secretdakotaring.com/2008/08/21/lets-sit-down-and-have-some-fish-tacos/ - where you said “I plan on blogging more and regularly in the weeks ahead. Hold me to this. Complain if I don’t. I need your harassment. I do.” So Andy, let’s get it together, shall we?
8. fc | January 23rd, 2009 at 4:10 pm
yikes, did my comment get deleted? i just posted 2 rather harmless festive pictures

Okie dokie, it’s joke time.
Two cannibals are sitting ’round a camp fire eating a clown.
One cannibal asks the other, “Does this taste funny to you?”

Calvin Coolidge’s Vice President, Charles Gates Dawes, was also a songwriter. In 1951, a tune he’d composed called “Melody in A Major” became a number one pop hit.

(Incredibly) Random Fact of the Day:
How can you tell snail tracks from slug tracks? While your typical garden slug leaves a continuous trail of slime in its wake, snails leaves more of a dotted line, since they move forward in an up-and-down fashion, kind of like an inchworm.

This is getting a bit ridiculous. It is almost March!
19. Yukie | March 8th, 2009 at 6:00 am
Today is March 8.
Happy Birthday, Andy.
20. Rosa | March 8th, 2009 at 3:41 pm
The minute I was told it was International Women’s Day I immediately thought, “hey, why does this seems like an important date?…of course…Andy!” Happy Bday Rusty!
21. Rachel | March 28th, 2009 at 1:53 pm
Oi! Andy! We chatted about this. Where are you?
Well, alright. We all know the answer to that question at this precise moment is “Seattle, with that *other* band I’m in”. Nevermind. (hahaha, “Nevermind” Seattle, I didn’t even mean to make that joke).
The point is that now you’re 30 and it’s time to stop shirking responsibility. Your devoted fans have been waiting awhile to receive word from you. Get with the typing!
22. Lety | March 31st, 2009 at 3:10 pm
Preposterous, Sir! No blog since December?! Let me just tell you I’m very much loving Cantarell right now.
Get your blog on!
23. Lety | March 31st, 2009 at 3:17 pm
Also, I feel I should tell you I got my Jonas Brothers tickets today. I’m gonna be so close, I’ll be able to save some of Joe’s sweat in a jar for eternity… or until it evaporates.
=]
24. Nance | April 2nd, 2009 at 10:46 pm
Andy! Ok. Seriously. We love ya and all and we realize you’re busy… but it’s APRIL! Yeah, APRIL!!
I would send Palin your way, but she’s probably in her WUH-SEE-LA home trying to gun down an innocuous moose… in Russia.
And since I have no mayo, I’m officially outta empty threats. So how about just a regular ol’ PLEASE??
25. Elena | April 6th, 2009 at 12:30 am
I got some free stuff in the mail today, which I appreciate especially because I was such a failure at the contest (whoops).
Thanks!
26. Richard | April 15th, 2009 at 1:24 pm
Thanks for the free stuff, loving my badges and the music!
You guys are so committed, wasn’t sure you’d send goodies over to little old England..
27. Rosa | April 17th, 2009 at 3:46 pm
Today I got the mail! Thank you so much for sending the cds, stickers, buttons, autograph, etc. I can’t stop smiling, you’re the best.
28. Yukie | April 18th, 2009 at 11:43 pm
Thank you very much.Looker and Higgins are
good.
29. faith | May 8th, 2009 at 8:17 am
time for an update, mate.
just got mail too, the stash of cd, stickers etc. thanks!
30. Becky | June 7th, 2010 at 5:23 pm
aross,
Any possibility of updating your blog? Perhaps with some info about the new SDR EP that might be coming out? Or about how you got to throw out the first pitch at the Dodgers game? (Did you get to meet your boyfriend, er, Manny?) Or is that “other” band keeping you too busy?
Tell us what’s happening in the world of Secret Dakota Ring. Pretty please.
Lurve,
me
