The Moo fellas with their youngest fan (-1 month old!)

We had a great night at the Greenville Inn in Chagrin Falls on Saturday the 14th. Thanks to everyone who came out and packed the place for our first couple of sets. It was great to see everyone despite the weather.

Extra special thanks to the die-hards that stuck around for the last set, even though the snow continued to fall. We hope everyone made it home safe and sound.

Pics are posted in the gallery!

We’re very much looking forward to our return to the ‘Ville on St. Patrick’s Day this year. We look forward to an awesome Saturday evening on March 17th, and hope you’ll join us in your best Green(ville)ery.

We’re excited to start 2012 off at one of our favorite places to play: Chagrin’s Greenville Inn. Join us there on Saturday the 14th (we sneakily avoided the “unlucky” Friday the 13th gig!) and enjoy fun, funk, funny dancing on the tables, and a fundamentally good time.

By the way, we will be returning to the Greenville this year for our annual St. Patrick’s Day show. The last several years, the holiday has fallen on some decidedly non-party days of the week. This year, though…

St. Patrick’s Day is on Saturday. Holy $#1@! Finally we can all sleep off our green-beer hangovers in peace!

Anyway, we hope we’ll see you this Saturday night, and that you’ll mark your calendars to join us on March 17th too!

Here's to a bubbly new year...

We hope everyone had a safe and happy New Year’s Eve celebration. We’re looking forward to a new year, some new venues, and new music to play.

Speaking of new venues, you’ve got to check out the newly renovated Brew Garden in Parma. They have done an outstanding job turning it into a venue with a cool atmosphere, a huge selection (dare I say “garden”?) of beer, and excellent food. We’re looking forward to getting back there on February 18th, so mark your calendars and join us at the intersection of Ridge and Pearl Roads.

Meanwhile, with the onset of some actual winter weather, we’re looking forward to heating things up on Saturday January 14th at the Greenville. Maybe when we’re there, the rest of the band will join Scotty in a rousing chorus of “She Drives Me Crazy”.

We hope to see you all soon! Until then, stay toasty.

2012!

Hard to believe, but another new year is upon us!

We hope you will join us for a relaxed NYE celebration at the Brew Garden in Parma. You can find details here.

Happy Holidays from Skinny Moo

We’re excited to be playing our first Christmas show this Friday December 23rd at Johnny Malloy’s in Medina. We look forward to a festive evening, celebrating all the holiday traditions – you know, like Christmas Ale, rock and/or roll, Jagerbombs, errr… yeah, all kinds of stuff.

Your presence will be present enough for the evening. In return we will be unwrapping musical Moo concoctions all evening for your booty-shaking pleasure.

In all seriousness, thanks again for making 2011 another fabulous year for five guys that love making music for you.

Happy Holidays from Jay, Jeff, Charley, Mike and Scott.

After an admittedly unexpected night of AWESOMENESS at the Medina Sting Benefit at Weymouth Country Club and the Ghoulish Rock-Sauce that spewed from our 2nd annual Halloween fest at Johnny Malloy’s in Medina until the wee hours of Sunday morning last week, we didn’t think it could get much better. But once again, the Chagrin Falls faithful Moopies showed up in force. If you’ve never been there, a night with Skinny Moo at Greenville is a one-of-a-kind experience. Just an absolutely amazing vibe. From before we even got setup to the time change – the crowd was pumped and ready for another unforgettable night.

It was so cool to see those we haven’t seen in a while and a number of NEW faces! There’s nothing more satisfying then watching a Moo Virgin take in the experience for the first time. I believe the new Skinny Moo musical entrees along with some new snippets that included PINK, LL COOL J & Dr DRE (Scotty crept to the mic like a vandal!) were well received.

Once again another epic night at the ville’ – we love you guys! Keep bringing it.

Our generous host

We love to play a backyard party. Especially when said party is full of awesome folks that are having a great time and enjoying our unique brand of music-making.

Yes, the police shut us down at around midnight, but we still managed to work in almost four sets of Moo madness before that officer came up onstage, put his hand on Jeff’s shoulder (as he was starting “Highway To Hell”) and told us in no uncertain terms to knock it off.

Fortunately there were many folks there with legal experience to help keep everyone out of trouble. Even more fortunate is that there were many folks there with mixology experience to keep the shot-luge flowing. And of course they provided the band with sample tastes of the various and sundry cocktails which were being manufactured somewhere in the garage. We were treated to quite the variety of combined ingredients, including what tasted like ouzo mixed with something, er , creamy. Hey, Scotty liked it so it couldn’t have been that bad. Allegedly.

All in all we had a great time, and we hope that the DiMauros and their guests had a night to remember. We hope to see many of you again at future gigs – especially if Dale brings “goldfish”.

The Juice, he is how you say, a rock star?

Ah yes, everyone’s back from vacation and we convened at the Winking Lizard on Friday evening for food, drinks and some entertainment from the Moo machine.

Some highlights included a mind-bending insertion of “You Shook Me All Night Long” (AC/DC) in “Everyday People” (Sly and the Family Stone) with lyrics from “Celebration” (Kool & the Gang) superimposed on top. It was, like, trippy.

There was also the impromptu serenade of a lady in the crowd. Jay noticed that she and the rest of her table were sitting in front of one of the main speakers, from which had been issuing the sound of controlled Skinny Moo chaos all night at, er, noticeable volume. In an effort to give this particular guest a break Jay offered to play something a little more mellow. Weren’t we surprised when she somehow requested the Commodores “Easy (Like Sunday Morning)”! Not as surprised as when we played it!

It was great to see a lot of our friends and family members at the show, and once again we have to thank the staff at the Winking Lizard for great hospitality, food and drinks.

We look forward to our last show of the season there on Friday September 16.

We are really excited to be playing the 14th Annual Aurora Shores Beach Party this Saturday! We absolutely love the chance to party with our good friends there, and we’re looking forward to a great time!

If you’re interested in tickets, check out this 14th Annual Aurora Shores Beach Party Flyer with all the details or contact asmc@aurorashores.com for more information.

We enjoyed a fabulous party on Saturday night, courtesy of David and Debbie, who were recently married in Mexico and asked us to play for their family and friends here. In the ten years that we have been performing, we’ve played a lot of unusual locations, but this was our first greenhouse.

It was a blast. And, as Mike Crow (a.k.a. Major Baron von Brauen Noteh) said, it may be one of the best smelling rooms we’ve ever played.

It was a pleasure to play for the fun, friendly folks that we got to hang out with tonight. If you were there, thanks. We hope to see you in one week at the Greenville Inn in Chagrin Falls!

Until then, there are a few zany pictures in the gallery.
