BreakFEST Music Fastival – THIS SATURDAY!

Alright people, here’s the deal. We’ve played a lot of shows, and we’re going to play a ton more, but we can tell you this: this weekend will be very, very special – ’cause it’s BreakFEST time!

4 bands, 2 Gecko sets, camping, great people (seriously we’ve heard from a ton of you and some of our favorite people on the planet are coming to kick it this weekend)… and it’s only $20 in advance!

The Breakfast

www.thebreakfast.org | 2 sets. 9PM – 1AM

Seriously, these guys are the real deal. One of the best live bands out there. Why they aren’t playing Madison Square Garden yet is beyond us.

Mondo Gecko

www.mondogecko.com | 2 sets. 6PM – 9PM

Yeah you know us. We’ve been hard at work. We’ve got a bunch of new music we’ve been working on and a few suprises you probably don’t want to miss… so just get there already! Plus, we’ve got our classic Gecko tie dyes and some amazing new patchwork clothes by Patchwork from Sarah for sale. Only available through your local MG dealer (a.k.a. us).

Tim Palmieri Solo Acoustic

www.timpalmieri.com | 4:15PM – 5:15PM

Tim plays electric guitar for The Breakfast. He also melts face on acoustic guitar. We’re not talking boring singer song writer crap here – we’re talking things like playing every Beatles tune ever written in alphabetical order or this amazing version of Phish’s Reba.

Otis Grove

www.otisgrove.net | 2 Sets. 1PM- 4PM

Don’t be an idiot and show up at 4pm… these guys wail! 3-peace Organ trio from Boston. Great, rippin’ stuff!

About the festival (READ THIS PART!)

The site is located at the end of Lempster Coach Road in beautiful Goshen, NH. At the end of Lempster Coach Road there is a rocky dirt road. It will be marked with balloons. DRIVE UP THIS ROAD VERY VERY SLOWLY OR YOU WILL MESS YOUR CAR UP! You will feel like you are climbing a mountain… and at the top will be BreakFEST and all of your friends waiting for you! Also, camping spots and parking will depend on attendance so we suggest you get there early to get a sweet spot!

Mondo Gecko has an amazing opportunity to play at The Big Up festival, August 5th,6th & 7th in Ghent, NY. This thing will be HUGE for us: there are a ton of great bands (including RAQ, and our buddies The Breakfast and Dopapod) and it will be by far the biggest event we will have played. See below for how to help us out!

ABOUT THE VENUE

The Big Up – 2010, will be held at Sunnyview Farm, a gorgeous 1500 acre estate located in Ghent, NY. The venue boasts multiple indoor and outdoor production spaces, including two main indoor rooms and big open fields. Sunnyview Farm is easily accessible from a number of major Northeastern cities:

Albany, NY (30 minutes) New York City, NY (2 hours) Northampton, MA (1 hour) Springfield, MA(1 hour) Boston, MA (2.5 hours) Hartford, CT(1 hour). See the directions.

Sunnyview Farm has played host to rock’n’roll royalty over the years including John Lennon, Willie Nelson, and Levon Helm. Under new management, Sunnyview Farm re-emerged in 2009 as a premier indoor/outdoor Northeast music, arts, and culture venue two inaugural events: Let It Roll and its pre-party, Lost Weekend in Shangri-La. These two events welcomed over 1,000 guests and received rave reviews from artists and festivalgoers alike, usually noting the impeccable hospitality and intimate setting “not found at any other festival”. 2009 was Shireworks Productions’ trial run for a larger and more articulated festival at Sunnyview Farm in the summer of 2010.

Video Coming Soon

Some bad news though:

Walley’s moving back down south at the end of the month… so this will be our last show with him (at least for a while). He’s bummed, we’re bummed, you’re probably bummed, but we’re all gonna make the best of it and play our hearts out tonight! We’re playing a special tune or two to celebrate his time with Mondo Gecko, so bring your dancing shoes and get ready to get funky! Obviously Mondo Gecko will be a different band with any other bassist, but as always, MG will keep on truckin’ and hope you’ll hang with us as we morph into some new, as of yet undiscovered species of masive lizard.
