10-28 -
Well, with Mike's arm healing up nicely, we are starting to book some shows to rock your world with! We have already booked a show for the 2009 Season at the Milwaukee Ale house! WOW thats kinda early to be booking shows isn't it? the answer is no it is not. That is to show that 2009 is going to be a crazy year for e13 and we are glad you guys are along for the ride. We are also pleased to announce that e13 is also now represented by The Entertainment Company (TEC)! TEC is the premier booking agency for the top acts throughout southeast wisconsin and the midwest. If you have been to a festival or other huge event, chances are TEC was behind it. Check out their website at www.theentertain.com and check out the band roster and the services they offer. We are really excited to be a part of this company and to be playing at all your favorite festivals and events this summer! But dont worry, if you are looking to book us for your event, you can still go through us and use the form on the contact page at e13rocks.com. Keep checking back for more show announcements soon as well as our "MIKES ARM IS HEALED AND WE CAN ROCK AGAIN COMEBACK SHOW" !!!

10-23- So it has been nearly 30 days, since I (Mike) has broken my arm. I get the cast off on Nov. 17th, just a few short weeks away. Then i must endure 3-4 days of stink arm, and a few weeks therapy to get my frail, white arm moving like it used to. THEN WE SHALL RETURN!!! With such a vengeance, the world has never seen!! Were gonna try to get a few shows in December before the year ends, and then clean out your diapers, cause our new year is filling up fast, and you are gonna continue to poop yourself, when u see all the new material we are adding to our set. Including Buster, a 9 foot T-Rex that shoots flames, Lana and Leleine.. 2 Mongolian dancers who dance while covered in the flames that Buster releases from his 4 foot robotic mouth, and of course...all new songs that u love!...keep on keeping on, and check back for updates on shows, pics and news

A LETTER TO OUR FANS:

Hey Friends -
This has been one hell of a week for the boys of e13 and it has resulted in having to cancel our show tomorrow ( Saturday) at Trinity Irish Pubs. Yesterday, I woke up to a phone call from our bass player Dave with the news that his car had gotten broken into. Unfortunately, his basses and bass amp and other personal belongings had been in there at the time. It always is frustrating to have your belongings stolen, but his bass and amp was something that we could easily replace and still rock out for you tomorrow night. Until my phone rang at 12:30am last night with news that our guitar player Mike that he had just broken his arm in half. seriously. While we could replace a bass and amp rather easily, technology has not yet allowed us to replace broken arms in time enough to play for you tomorrow night. I talked to him late last night with the hopes that he would finally say " HAHA! Just Kidding, Dude!" but alas, no such comment was uddered. I was still in disbelief today as I was having a conversation with our lead singer Jim about this matter when he notified me that he would be visiting urgent care this afternoon due to a bee sting that he recieved a few days ago and it was not getting better. Stay posted for whatever else can go wrong with e13 this week!... So, we will definitely keep you posted on our friend Mike on his road to recovery. It is a good thing we have our very own physical therapist on staff and all the good people at ATI Physical Therapy to get Mike better than ever in hopefully a short amount of time. Thank you for all your support for us over the years and we will get back to rockin in no time! If you want to send well wishings to Mike or hell, all of us for that matter, go to the Contact page at www.e13rocks.com and fill out the mail form. Thanks again for your support!

9/21 - Since the last update, we have continued our crazy busy schedule.  We have played at 4 new venues this month!  We started off playing an acoustic show at MIKEY's in Cathedral Square on 9/6 and could not have asked for a more fun and interactive audience.  We are looking forward to making our way back there soon.  We then played a Wednesday night show on 9/10 at Bootleggers downtown and although us first shift guys don't necessarily like playing weekday shows till bar time, it was a lot of fun with a great crowd, especially for a Wednesday night, and we will be looking for more opportunities to play there soon as well.  That weekend (9/12 and 9/13) Mike and I ventured off to Pewaukee to play a 2 man acoustic show at the Sandbar Pub.  It was an intimate setting with a lot of potential.  We hope to set more dates for the future and hopefully next summer as it is right on the lake!  Nick set out to play with some of his former co-workers filling in for their drummer on 9/13 at Spitfires in Muskego for Firefest 2008 with the band 4 Play.  He was forced to learn a lot of material in a very short amount of time and I think that is a definite credit to the skills that Nick has as a musician.  We then took the week to prepare for this past weekend as we played at the classy sports bar, Tutto on Saturday night and the PKD chairty walk on Sunday morning.  Tutto is a great location, with great management and staff who are not used to having live music.  We hopefully made their night a little more worth while.  We had another interactive audience who appeared to have a lot of fun and although, the live music thing may not be a weekly feature at Tutto, we hope they will consider us again sometime soon.  Finally, we come to earlier this morning.  After getting home at 3:45am today from Tutto, we woke up at 7am to make it to Bayshore mall by 8am to set up for the Polycystic Kidney Disease Foundation charity walk.  My dear friend Kristen has this disease so many of our friends were walking for her kidneys and we were honored to play for this noble cause.  It was our earliest show ever and although it was initially difficult to wake up so early after such a late night, it was definitely worth it.  We were well received and everyone seemed to enjoy what we had to offer.  The weather was great, the venue was great, we made good connections, but more importantly we were playing for a great cause and we all feel like we had done something really good for many others.  Check out the FOX6 News story about this great cause by clicking HERE (look fast, you will see us!) . We are finishing off the month of September at Trinity next Saturday 9/27 before taking the majority of October off to rest and add some songs to our list.  Look for Mike and I to potentially play another acoustic show sometime in October as well as our Halloween show on Halloween night.  I want to give a big thanks to all you who came out to see us sometime this month.  We have had a blast.  If you have pictures you want to send us, please email them to e13rocks@gmail.com.  We hope to see you soon! - Jimmy

8/28 - You may have heard by now that the Shepherd Express is doing an online poll of the Best of Milwaukee 2008 and Element 13 is up for voting in the Cover/Tribute Band Category....We are asking you to show as much support for us in voting as you do in coming out and PACKING venues all over Milwaukee! Just Click on this link to The Shepherd Express, enter your email address, scroll to the Cover band link, and look for our name, and hit submit! it is THAT easy! Let's show the rest of Milwaukee what they are missing and vote for Element 13 - the Best in Milwaukee 2008! - Nick

8/19- So, this past weekend we played Bradford Beach on saturday afternoon and Trinity Irish Pub at night, both outdoor venues and the weather was great. Thanks to everyone who came out and showed support and danced their asses off.  We got a chance to meet a lot of new people and tried to get a chance to talk to everyone, so sorry if we didnt say hello. If there are any pictures floating around out there that u took from either show that u want posted on our website, feel free as always to email them to us and we will put them up on our pictures page. Or maybe u were at a past show and wonder if ur in the photos...swing over to the pics page and look for your damn self. Our next shows will be during Harley fest...for exact dates and times check the tour page on the site. We also have an acoustic show at Mikeys coming up on Sept. 6th, among many others so keep on checking back for more updates. ~M

8/9 - So we have been lazy-asses lately and we still need to get some pics up from our last few shows...but that is our excuse for out lazyness; we have been rocking SO much, we havent had time! With that said, we want to thank everyone for coming out to the Social on the 1st for an Acoustic evening with e13! we had a total blast, and the acoustic set was recieved well among our fans, old and new! we look forward to doing more acoustic sets at the Social in the future so keep an eye out for that. Also, if you notice to the right side of this page, there has been some changes to our upcoming schedule. Due to some scheduling conflicts, the Show at LIVE on North has been cancelled. But have no fear - We have replaced that show with 2 - thats right 2 - shows on the 16th! Catch us at 2pm at Bradford Beach, then keep the party going Saturday Night at Trinity on water Street! This is our first show at Trinity and we are looking forward to showing water street how we do it! Go to the Tour page to get details and directions! - Nick

6/24- Summer Solstice was this last weekend and we had a blast playing it despite the taunting rain that loomed above. A little rain trickled from the sky, but not enough to kick us off the stage, as we went right on through. Thanks to all those that came out to support us on Saturday night. The
Lovemonkeys were on after us and they rocked the stage till close, and if you stayed for their show you may have seen us join them on stage for an E13/Lovemonkeys shot toast! Before Saturdays show we had a photoshoot as well so their are gonna be some changes on the website coming soon as well as pics from The Summer Solstice show all taken by our good friend James Conway of James Conway Photography. If you have pics from the solstice show please email them to us at pictures@e13rocks.com and we will post them on the site on the photos page.
Our next show is at the Calderone pub on 7/11 - Friday night, free show. Its a pretty cool place, we have played there before and are looking forward to going back. Also that night there is Catholic Memorials 10 yr high school reunion at the calderone pub, so that should guarantee for some good chickage. We have a ton more shows coming up this summer and we're looking into booking more, so keep checking the site for updates, and if you are a lazy person and dont wanna check the site...sign up on our email list and we will seek you out and let you know the latest goings on of E13.
~M

5/17 - 5/23/08 - Yeah this news is gonna be a two for one...if you havent noticed, our schedule for the summer is rather full, and we are still getting asked to play additional shows...so definitely stay tuned for that...but as a result, we are behind on the news...so get off my back! Anyhoo...Thanks to all that came out to the
House of Harley for the spring bike show on the 17th. We had a total blast and we didnt get rained on! And congrats to anyone that bought a bike...but if you showed up to see us you would have gotten a free bike...so next time maybe you'll think twice about missing another e13 show....FREE BIKES! (and iPods) Also thanks to all that came out to the Social on Friday. It was our first of 2 Shows there this summer and we had a great time. It was a little more relaxed of a show with some impromptu jammin (more than usual) and we are looking forward to the next show there later this summer...unfortunately, there were NO FREE BIKES there...but you never know...Check out the TOUR page to get all the details on all that is e13. also, dont forget to send us pics from the shows to pictures@e13rocks.com to get them posted on the photos page. - nick
