07/13/10 What a busy summer! We have been having a blast performing and parting all over New England. Bike week in Laconia at The Paradise Beach Club was a trip! We are looking forward to our return dates there in August and September. We are also pleased to announce the addition of some dates at Salt Hill in both Lebanon and Hanover New Hampshire. We recently upgraded our gear (again) with the addition of a new road rack for everything (Seth and I put it together, it's really cool) and some new LED lights that rock. All this and it's more powerful and actually smaller than before! Next stop, K series subs to match out top cabs. Enough tech talk, get out and see it all in action at our next show!

04/05/10 So I'm a dumbass... We had a moment of temporary insanity and I thought we would change the name because of member changes... duh!!! I now understand that The Conniption Fits is in itself a living being. The Fits live on despite who happens to be in the band... we are but cogs in the machine. But really, who gives a damn if it still rocks? The Fits love ya world, and we are ready to roll! Facebook it: http://www.facebook.com/pages/The-Conniption-Fits/61556332037?ref=mf

01/20/10 New shows to report and a NEW BAND NAME! We will now begin the transition to our new band name "About Last Night..." we had a great run as "The Conniption Fits" but we feel that it is time for a change and a fresh face/attitude/juxtaposition... Catch up on our new facebook fan site here! Jan 22nd "Murphys Taproom" Manchester, NH. Jan 23rd "The Matterhorn" Bethel Maine. Jan 30th "Shenanigans" White River Jct. VT. Feb 19th & 20th "The Woodstock Inn" Woodstock, NH. March 6th "The Matterhorn" Bethel Maine. April 3rd "The Matterhorn" Bethel Maine.

09/13/09 Huge News: Download the entire first album "Airplane Rides" for free right here! Sure, we would love it if you bought it from iTunes, but why don't you have the music first. We've put all 12 songs in a virus free (guaranteed) zip file.

08/07/09 Check out new reviews at these awesome sites: Babysue & LMNOP (really the same thing, different name. Good review though!) Excerpt: "A lot of folks will probably label these guys as a power pop band...but their music is actually much more depthy than that term might imply. Instead of simple, familiar chord progressions, the tunes on A Heaping Helping of Perspective are full of smart, intricate guitar riffs that add an extra jolt to the proceedings."

08/07/09 Our album has been accepted by Pandora and will be added soon!

06/27/09 We have been added to freevermontradio.org and have spent some time in the #1 spot. Request us and we can stay there. We were also recently featured on yellowhousemedia.com and have been getting a good response there as well. As always, thanks for the support!

 

06/02/09 I've been working hard on the new site. I've had to re-learn all my flash skills... I forgot almost everything. Anyway, we have been getting some good press. I keep meaning to add a "press" section, but until then check out this full page review in the Manchester Union Leader (.pdf) and another one in The Spectator (.pdf)

02/14/07 "Conniption Fits rock band gets audiences riled up across N.E."
(read article)

Having already had songs on MTV, ESPN’s X-Games, CBS’s Vans Triple Crown as well as national radio, Stevens Blanchard started The Conniption Fits with long time friend and bass player Erik Von Geldern and drummer Seth Roya.

Reigning from various areas of Boston and Vermont, The Conniption Fits blend their collective experiences and array of musical backgrounds in creating their signature, upbeat, Rock sound. The Conniption Fits have combined their years of studio and stage performances in developing a chemistry that solidifies them as a mainstream, American band. The Conniption Fits have framed the essence of their sound with songs that flow; always capturing a specific emotion that they build upon through their lyrics. Having taken center stage on stages and amongst concert venues, The Conniption Fits have shared their music with live, cross-genre audiences.

The Conniption Fits officially formed in 2005.  The Fits have since performed over 250 shows  all over greater New England and have released their second full length CD, “A Heaping Helping Of Perspective”, which has already received local radio airplay in heavy rotation.  Most notably on Keene’s WKKN “K-Rock 101.9” and Dartmouth College’s WFRD “99 Rock” in Hanover, NH.

The Conniption Fits released  their  first album “Airplane Rides” in 2006 and scored a front-page review in the Manchester Union Leader (Jan 25-29 weekend edition 2007).  “Airplane Rides” continues to sell very well and is available on iTunes (and many other digital music stores) as well as record stores nationwide.

With tons of experience to draw upon Stevens Blanchard has performed more than 1500 shows over 6 national tours and has shared stages with acts like 3 Doors Down, Fastball, Mighty Bosstones, 7 Mary Three, Blue Oyster Cult, Mountain, Warrant, and Cinderella to name a few.   Erik Von Geldern and Seth Roya have been performing for years in and out of the studio.  They have both completed music degrees at Johnson State College in Vermont.

Long awaited and highly anticipated, The Conniption Fits' latest, album “A Heaping Helping Of Perspective”, is indicative of a band whose talent will reinvent the secular sound of mainstream, Rock music.

The Conniption Fits have a strong on-line presence and send weekly email to their more than 3000 subscribers.  Check out www.conniptionfits.com and www.myspace.com/theconniptionfits for more information.
