Winter ‘07
 2007 saw Pink Houses at some of our biggest shows ever!!!! One great memory in McHenry, IL was opening up for Loverboy!!!! Word is we 'Blew 'Em Away"!!!!!! Algoma stood out this summer and we had so much fun they are having us back again this year August 8th!!! Can't wait to ROCK you guys up north there!!!! Capping off the summer was Oktoberfest in New Glarus...what great BEER!!!!!!! We'll also see you all there next year as well on Sept 27th. ChiliMania saw one of the biggest crowds in ChiliMania's history in downtown Edgerton, WI this event is such an awesome time....we recommend every band play there!!!!
During the 2007 season, Pink Houses also gave away a dozen guitars or more to fans who joined us onstage jammin' air-guitar as the crowd cheered them on! We have spread the joy of music onto to many kids this past year! Check our website show pictures too see all these great kids!!!!
Check us out in 2008 as the great "Guitar Give-Away" continues!!!!
 This summer also has us enjoying great weather which was a far cry from 2006 and our "Rain Dance Tour"...man get out the raincoats!!! Sorry Charlie...you were one of the few rain dates we had...but still put on a totally kick-ass show....you know it's good when the 'Pole 'Dancing starts gettin' wild!!!!!!
We also had personnel changes in our band and crew in 2007...Jeff Reitz joined the band as the new percussion player and adds another level of excitement to the show!!! Welcome again Jeff!!!!
Leaving the band and going down to the 'second tier of players was "Seven" AKA Vic Seven, AKA Pat Sieben who was one of our lead guitar players....sorry to see him go...but we know we will see him again at future Pink Houses shows! You are most welcome dude!!!!
Replacing 'Seven', guitarist extraordinare Scott Miller joined the band with a quick 3-day notice and has become a permanent fixture on stage with Pink Houses!!! Scott has been part of the Madison music scene for many years with bands such as Interface, Existance, 5 O’ Clock Charlie and many more...
Hitman, AKA Jim DiMatia also left Pink Houses in the fall moving on to bigger and better things...Hitman also plays with the Jesse Lynn Band...we wish him all the best in his new ventures!
Joyce also will be moving to the second tier of players as she pursues her education and spends more time with her family....
Taking Joyce's place on stage will be our newest player Ruth Krause...Ruth has been playing violin since a little tiny girl and will debut our Dry Bean show on Jan 12th, 2008! Welcome Ruth!!!
KC, the "Teen Shrink" and keyboard/accordion player...and political 'right-winger' in the band has moved on to spend more time with church and family...he will also be with us in the future as back up for Dan Bono who takes over as lead man on all keyboards and accordion...By the way, Dan was with us for the first ever Pink Houses show when we first started out 5 years ago!!!!!
All these great players were with us when the band first started...we wish them all the best and thanks for 5 great years!!
Josh leaves our solid crew as he moves onto bigger and better things and will be missed...
Pink Houses welcomes to the crew Kenny AKA "Catfish" as our new monitor man keeping all that great sound flowing into our ears on stage! Adam joins as our guitar tech and stage crew.
David Mazzie joins the crew backing up Alan with sound and engineering...David also performs a solo act and can be seen at many of his own shows...check out his "Myspace" at: www.myspace.com/davidmazzieacousticexperience
Sam is our newest guitar tech and all around crew guy helping out in many areas of setting up the Pink Houses show.
Overall, 2007 was an awesome year for Pink Houses meeting many new fans and seeing many of our great fans from past shows over these last 5 years. We look forward to seeing all of you this coming 2008 "Dance Naked" Tour!!!
