Daily Flashes!

Can you believe it's 2012 already? We had an amazing time saying farewell to the old year, with Alice Stuart and the Formerlys at the Kenmore Community Club. For those that couldn't make it, you missed a stellar night of music. Later this year, look for the new CD that the guys have been working so hard at. It's got to be heard to be believed.

THE DAILY FLASH will be performing at Grinders on Saturday, January 7th, 2012. Come help us ring in 2012 right! We're always thrilled to play there, so get those reservations in ASAP! Grinders always books up in record time. Grinders is the coolest joint around and we'll be heatin' it up Flash style! Come on out and support live music and a great establishment. The beer and wine are the best (try the excellent St. Peter's Porter), the food and desserts are beyond excellent, it’s all ages and they have the best in live music anywhere! Their culinary skills got a rave review in the Seattle Times. Call 206-542-0627 for reservations, and read about this rockin' joint at http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/food/2002150161_deal14.html

Earlier this year we had a stellar gig at Hale's Palladium, celebrating the music of local legend, Ron Davies. You can read a great review of the evening, featuring THE DAILY FLASH, by clicking here. And you can find out more about the Ron Davies' CD, "The Mystery of Ron Davies", which has a cut performed by the guys, here.

NEWS FLASH!! Grinders Hot Sands is now open 6 days a week for your dining pleasure! Every day but Monday (yes, they're open on Sundays now, too!), Mitch and Denise will be holding forth and serving up that great food! Try the Luca Brasi Special (yum!), homemade andouille sausage grinder or the pot roast on ciabatta bread. To die for! We've been having the best time hanging out at Grinders! No one makes you feel more at home than Mitch, Denise and the great crew! It's gotten to be a fav hangout for watching THE DAILY FLASH and having some truly fantastic food! The upshot is that the place is SRO every month. So, our advice is to get your reservations in EARLY! The guys have been working up some new tunes for your listening pleasure, and have been hard at work on their new album, "Composure". Check out a few of the new song samples on the song list page.

In response to popular demand, THE DAILY FLASH can now be found on Facebook as well as MySpace. It's a place holder right now, but we'll be adding pictures, sound clips and video as the webmistress gets time.

THE DAILY FLASH was featured in a Seattle Times article about the Summer of Love. Check it out here.

The Summer of Love 40th Anniversary Tour has come and gone. THE DAILY FLASH had a great time, and Steve got a chance to reminisce with some of the people he shared gigs with back then. Here's a picture from the event.

By the way, the Stillaguamish put on one heck of a pow-wow! Check it out sometime.

The live DAILY FLASH CD is here! 15 live tracks and a hidden bonus track, recorded last year. This release is sure to take the chill off the winter!

Hey! THE DAILY FLASH can now be found on youtube.com and on myspace.com. Check out a live video of "Matchbox" on youtube, and then dash over to their myspace page to listen to some live tracks recorded at the last gig by our resident soundgod and FLASH member, CRAIG BYSTROM!

What a wonderful time we all had when JON KELIEHOR was in town. He played a couple of gigs with the band, and it was great! Now if we could just get him and Doug at the same time. Hmm. And hopefully, Jon won't stay away as long next time!

Here are a couple of pictures from a gig THE DAILY FLASH played with their original lead guitarist, DOUG HASTINGS sitting in.
