THE BOBS - Concert Notification
Northern and Southern California
May/June 2008


The Bobs are back in California - what a great way to kick off the summer!

For longtime fans, The Bobs' show is very new these days - featuring many tunes
from
their recently released (and 14th) CD, GET YOUR MONKEY OFF MY DOG.
The album and the show have gotten some great press - check out the quotes at
the end
of this email! But if you need to hear one of your favorite Bobs songs (from
the OTHER
THIRTEEN ALBUMS), you really should request it - and in the most creative way
possible.
That's all I'm
sayin'.

In other news, Amy Bob's solo CD, NOT GONNA BE PRETTY (http://www.coldfoot.net),
is a
hit with Bobs fans AND the unenlightened! When we sent a shameless promotional
email
out last month announcing it, CDbaby sold out of their copies within ONE HOUR!
Amy is
doing a CD release concert/party in Hollywood on June 6 - info is below.

errors" Dan Bob: "hot dogs" Matthew Bob:
"Long Beach"

RECENT PRESS QUOTES

"Fun, inventive and full of sass and spice.
..The material may be splendidly silly, but
The Bobs are serious about entertaining and
trying to find your ticklish spot.." -
Talkin' Broadway



"Virtuosic and funny and ingeniously
arranged..." - Metroland



"The Bobs are an a cappella quartet that
falls outside both traditions. Neither
conventional nor stuffy, they mostly perform
original songs, and they've taken a page from
the Ramones." - Washington Post


"They are simply the template for funny,
witty, superlatively harmonized a cappella
singing with a strong emphasis on a slightly
skewered cynicism that is offset by a deeper
sense of humanism. The Bobs are beyond fun."
• Home Grown Radio
