Well I updated the website. Poor Lenore is breaking up. Thats that. I know, you all really don't care, but if you want to see our last two shows, they are as follows. June 7th - Holy Name of Mary Church in Croton. We will be performing with Ambition Free, Underrated, T.J. Lazer, No Name Charlies, Blue Sausage and possibly Nobody's Heroes. On June 8th, we will be playing an outdoor festival at Wildside in Rye. Sadly, I have no clue who's playing this gig. I'll keep you all updated as things develop. I say that as if anyone on earth is reading this thing. Well, anyway, I guess I just want to thank those who have supported us in our year of existence, I know I had fun, and I hope you all did.

Wow...its really weird that I have to post this news on April Fools Day..but its not a joke...what follows..I swear is the truth...come June 14th, our record release party with Ambition Free will actually be our last with our good friend and drummer, John Brady...this is an amicable departure...we love John come hell or highwater...he's leaving because his parents are moving to Rhinebeck, NY (90+ minutes north of Croton) and truth be told, John doesn't really enjoy playing the drums anymore. We wish him all the best in his future endeavors..which by the way, if you haven't heard his side project (now full time I guess) Dead for Christmas...you really owe to yourself to give it a listen...I rank it among my favorite albums from the past few years, and I can't wait to see what springs forth from John's amazingly creative mind in the future. If you are, or you know a drummer, please email us at poorlenore@yahoo.com and express your interest...but believe me..you've got some shoes to fill...all those interested should give our mp3s a listen and learn them...and you should have interest in playing in a diverse and extremely original rock band with influences stemming from punk, rock, emo, metal, folk and any other kind of music you can hear in our past work. This is not the end by any means necessary but the next few months will be very bittersweet and very hectic...as a drummer, you also should be ready to play and rock out...lots of shows and ruling the world are expecting in our future....we'll keep all you fans and friends posted....until then, enjoy these last few shows with our good friend John...I will and I know Jim will

k...i'll keep this brief...don't wanna piss anyone off by shitting on everyone with my intolerable comments...
we're really happy with everyone's attendance and support at our two shows at the Black Cow and at the Hen Hud Battle of the Bands. If you don't know, we came in second right behind the amazing Ambition Free. We were very pleased that we placed, and we'd like to thank all the other bands that participated and all the people that came...a big thanks to our fans and friends who truly made that Hen Hud show a joy to play...I don't speak for John or Jim (and would you want me to? I think not) but the fact that people even recognized our names made me proud to do what I do. On top of that, I can honestly tell you that when you sang Mary along with us, I was moved in ways inexpressible via words. The guestbook is gone for now, but please, don't hold back in your feelings, just showcase them on our messageboard...we appreciate all the support.
We've completed 4 songs. Mary, Rewind, Up the Dark Sky and Nights Not About a Friend all made it to our release, simply entitled "Poor Lenore: the e.p." as soon as I get it together, I'll ship home a case of them for all you people to pick up a copy. But if you can't stand it...you can download two of those songs for your perusal via the main page of our site. If you're still not satisfied, I do suggest you buy Dead for Christmas' new release "Winter of Whisper". This gorgeous piece of music comes directly from the amazing mind of our drummer John. If you don't buy it, well then lets just say you've missed out, its amazing, and I'd hold it up with any of my favorite albums.
Evan's back at Brandeis for round 2, John is up at Bard. Jim's still in Croton, but the lucky bastard will be kickin' it in jolly old england in a few weeks, send him off with a party and a hearty handshake from me, sorry to say I won't be home to see him go. We hope to finish the full length come April and have a subsequent record release party for all you friends and fans.
And try to be patient, we're sorry that education has gotten in the way of us playing for you, hopefully we'll be back come summer better than ever with shows whereever and whenever, hell we'll play your house if you want...anything to make you guys happy.
There...I've said my peace...blast me on the guestbook if you want...a big thank you to all our friends and fans, especially to the wenches (Emily, Minogue and Gail) to all our friends playing their hearts out and to anyone else who feels they deserve thanks...if you don't feel that you've gotten the respect you deserve from us...well then in the words of the amazing, talented, spectacular and ravishing Minogue...."I owe you a cookie" ~Evan

Time to get all you peeples up to speed....we played at Wildside in Rye yesterday. We had a good show. Granted, we had to cut our set down and rush through some songs. Granted, we didn't get much respect from the other bands. And maybe we didn't get paid as much as we were expecting...but it was a great experience nonetheless. As Jim put it "hey, we got our name out there" we got some great feedback and I really want to thank Debbie for helping us get on the show, and Jen for running such a great place like Wildside. I'd also like to thank Your Day Strong for lending us their gear and sticking around to hear us play. Hey...if it was supposed to be limos and packed houses right now...we wouldn't love it as much....hopefully the next time we play Wildside (if they'll let us *fingers crossed*) people will recognize our name...and we'll be somewhere in the middle of the bill. In future show news:
This Saturday the 12th of January, Hen Hud High School, Montrose, NY...THE BATTLE OF THE BANDS, featuring Trust and Ambition Free...you'd have to be stupid not to come
And as a tentative show...January 18th at the Arch Street Teen Center in Greenwich, CT...its a WTC benefit show run by Stolen Chair records...we gotta clear our schedules for it....
thats all for now...our record is almost done...more pictures both from the studio (aka Jim's basement) and shots from Wildside will be up soon!
