It’s Tuesday… which means it’s time to recommend Ship Wrecks for the Musicians Directory!

Thank you :)

This Friday, at LPYC come check out:

A Fair Few - Lebanon Valley College Indie-folk genius
The You Know Whos - Harrisburg Rock & Roll
Less Cassettes - Hummelstown Acoustic Duo
Three Twelve - Carlisle Pop-Rock

This should be pretty rad, so we know you’ll be there!

… has been super rad. We’ve had the chance to hang out with some awesome, awesome dudes. Here’s the rundown:

Saturday night we played with Trunks & Tales in our hometown, Elizabethtown. Thanks to Ryan at Folklore Coffee & Co. for hooking us up with a show and treating us right. And thanks to everyone that showed up for being rad.

Sunday night we played a benefit show for Music for Hope at Championship. We got to hang out with our best buds in A Fair Few and Trunks & Tales again, which of course was awesome. And we got to see our friend PJ Bond, who we haven’t seen 14 months, play with a full band. He sounded awesome. And we got to meet Nick Harris, who I’m sure is going to be a good friend of ours really soon.

We’ve been having an awesome time, and we have some more shows coming up this month, so see you there!

This is an article that Flipside put out about our show May 9:

Paul Rehkugler lost his grandmother to cancer on Christmas Eve.

He wrote a song to help him deal with the loss.

Rehkugler, 21, who is a member of the Elizabethtown duo Ship Wrecks, said he is sometimes more inspired when he’s sad.

His band mate Michelle Cina, 20, said that has been how the band relates to listeners.

“We want to get people to feel something,” she said. “It’s real life.”

We just got done playing some rad shows at Folklore Coffee & Co in Elizabethtown (on Friday), and Boondocks in York Haven (on Saturday). Thanks to all of the people at those places for taking good care of us, and thanks for everyone that came to see us.

We are so lucky to have such talented friends. Our bros in Trunks & Tales are in Indiana right now, recording a new 7”. We got to hear a new song on Saturday, and this release is going to be big. Pre-order will be available soon on their bandcamp site - http://trunksandtales.bandcamp.com/.

And our friend Matt (aka the Spinning Game) is doing some awesome stuff too. Listen to his new Ship Wrecks-inspired song on his myspace page - http://www.myspace.com/thespinninggame.

Also, we’re working on some recordings and some new songs. Paul just wrote a new song; you can check it out on his blog. Michelle also wrote a new song. It should be finished soon.

Come to a show and we’ll play them for you!
