ALL IN took the stage at 8:15am, after having played a full bar gig the night before AND the clocks being set ahead for daylight savings. OUCH!! On 2 hours of sleep, ALL IN kept Toad's Place hoppin' for the better part of 2 hours. We made alot of new friends and we hope to catch you guys at an upcoming show. Great job today by Toad's sound man, Chad, and by the entire staff of WPLR.

2/16/2009: The boys are STILL defrosting from our outdoor show at the Lake Quassy Penguin Plunge yesterday. But we wouldn't have it any other way, as we were ALL IN for volunteering our time to help raise money for the Special Olympics of CT. Over 400 participants braved the icy water to raise over $90k for our special olympians. The costumes were awesome and the energy level was through the roof. ALL IN played for 90 minutes in the biting cold and helped whip the "plungers" into a last minute frenzy! Thanks to EVERYONE who helped make this event such a tremendous success!!!!!! www.soct.org
2/08/2009: Well, the Hitchin' Post show went exactly as expected last night...a great time complete with several crazies dancing on the bar. If you haven't been to the Post, you're missing a FUN time. We'll see everyone back out there on April 4th.
2/07/2009: SHOW ALERT!! ALL IN is pleased to announce a new show at Spectators Sport's Bar & Grill, located at 703 Campbell Ave in West Haven. This will be the ALL IN Band's first show in the New Haven area and we hope to make a bunch of new friends there. The word is that Spectators fields a nice menu, so come on down for dinner and stay for our 9:30pm show. See you there!
1/10/2009: Well, well, well; interesting show last night to say the least. 3/4 of the band was under the weather with various illnesses last night...and I'm not talking about the normal sickness in our heads! Jeff was jacked up with a stiff back as Scott & Sal were dealing with bad head colds & sore throats. I think we went through 2 bags of throat lozenges! At times, I think I sounded like Peter Brady singing "When it's time to change, " but somehow we soldiered through the night and everyone had a good time nonetheless. Our Legends' friend, Paul, really livened things up once he arrived! See you next time, buddy.
1/09/2009: Hey Fans, we're happy to announce a newly added show to our January calendar. On Friday night January 23rd, ALL IN takes the stage at Gilo's Cafe' in East Hartford, CT (link below).

1/04/2009: WOW!! Needless to say, mission accomplished at the Cambridge Brew House last night. The place was ROCKIN' from start to finish and it looks like we made ourselves a bunch of new friends!
