Both Stone Pony shows with Gaslight Anthem are now sold out.

The May 8th show at the Stone Pony with Gaslight Anthem is sold out. There are still tickets for the May 9th show but we expect that one to sell out soon. This is a show that you don’t want to miss.

A second show at the Stone Pony with Gaslight Anthem has been added. See the listing in the sidebar for details.

Hope you got ‘em

The March 3rd show at the Mercury Lounge is sold out. There’s still some left for the show on the 10th but they’re going fast.

Hey all. So we’re a week away from our first of the two Mercury Lounge shows and we can’t tell you how excited we are to play for you. We’ve been working hard and fine tuning lots of new songs and polishing up the oldies.

If you’re thinking about coming out to either of these shows, we suggest you get your tickets in advance as the March 3 show is almost sold out and the March 10 show is selling like hot cakes. While we’re at, it we want to let you know a couple additional dates. We’re going to be supporting our friends The Gaslight Anthem on a few dates in the beginning of May.

Here’s the dates –

• May 6 – Cat’s Cradle, Carrboro, NC
• May 7 – Recher Theatre, Baltimore, MD
• May 8 – The Stone Pony, Asbury Park, NJ

So it begins. You’ll be hearing from us a lot more in the near future. We look forward to seeing you all. xo- Pela

Hey everybody, 

It’s been a while.  We’ve been busy finishing our album over the past 4 months.  It’s been a long road.  We know we haven’t done the best job keeping you up-to-date, so here we are. There’s a lot we want to catch you up on. But, instead of a long-winded letter right now, we’ve got a better idea – less talk more rock.

We are extremely excited to announce a few intimate shows we’ll be playing in NYC.  We’ve decided to set up a mini-residency at The Mercury Lounge in March.  We’ll be playing new material with a few oldies and we couldn’t think of a better place to do it than in our hometown.  The dates are March 3 and March 10.

March 3rd (late show)…
9:30 River City Extension
10:00 Pela

March 10th… 
7:00 River City Extension
8:00 Neckbeard Telecaster
9:00 Holly Miranda (The Jealous Girlfriends)

Well, we’ve actually been on Facebook for a while but haven’t been doing a very good job of updating it. To make matters worse, when we did try to update it we ran into a few technical problems (editor’s note – they forgot the password). Anyway, it’s all straightened out now and we’ve got some help in maintaining it, so drop by and become a fan of Pela.

Pela will be headlining the 10/23 CMJ show at the Mercury Lounge. Also on the bill is The Muslims, Frances, Blind Pilot, Hockey, and The Vettes. The lads will be going on at Mignight. For the rest of the schedule, check out the Mercury Lounge calendar. Since this is a CMJ show, it will almost certainly sell out, so get your tickets soon.
