The Self-Proclaimed Rockstars eagerly and voraciously return to the road to close out 2009. Armed with new songs, a new record, new bandmates and a new fire, the band considers itself fortunate to have lined up so many high-level gigs.

The 2009 "Honeymoon's OVER Tour" kicks off on November 7th with the first of TWO CD Release parties!

The shows kick off with a pair of CD Release shows (Boston and NYC, respectively) to commemorate the release of the band’s full-length live LP “This is Live.” The Boston show will occur at Copperfields and the NYC show will be in The Big Apple’s oldest and most prestigious rock club The Bitter End. Both shows are top-slot shows on Saturday nights, so you can guarantee that the crowd will be strong and the rock will be stronger.

The SUPER BOWL on the SPR calendar is back and better than ever. The THANKSDRINKINGDAY BALL returns to SPR’s hometown the night before Thanksgiving. Last year was a sell-out at the door. Look for this year’s to sell out WEEKS in advance. Ticket information coming soon!In early December, the band takes 3 of its newest songs to their old friend, nationally syndicated TV Talk Show — The Steve Katsos Show. SPR has formed a great relationship with insanely charismatic Kat-man and you can rest assured the energy will be high during this, the band’s FIRST LIVE television appearance.

The band closes out 2009 in style, literally. The House of Blues’ ultra-exclusive Foundation Room, easily the finest club in New England, has welcomed the band back to host their annual Christmas Sweater Jamboree. Ugly Christmas sweaters aren’t required — but they are sure as hell encouraged!

In addition to the collaborative dates, all SPR members are taking solo engagements for the rest of the year and SPR management is still diligently at work to add even more cities, venues and shows to the tour before the sun has a chance to set on 2009.

Stay tuned for more!

BOSTON — The Self-Proclaimed Rockstars are extremely proud to announce the newest addition to their lineup - Miss Stephie Coplan! 

Stephie joins the group after establishing a strong reputation for herself as a singer, songwriter and performer in the Boston area. Her solo material can be found on her MySpace site at http://www.myspace.com/copesongs

The newest Self-Proclaimed Rockstar -- Stephie Coplan

Stephie’s bio says it best — “Stephie Coplan is not your everyday singer-songwriter. With piano prowess far beyond her twenty-two years and lyrics that range from the heartfelt to the tongue-in-cheek, she stirs a geeky cocktail of one part Ben Folds, one part Nellie McKay, and one part Jason Robert Brown. Tasty.”

SPR co-founders Mick Greenwood and Johnny Malone jointly expressed the group’s sentiments:

“An absolutely perfect fit - you look for so much in a full-time bandmate - talent, creativity, honesty and personality. Stephie is the total package, we are ecstatic.”

Of course Stephie’s arrival does signal the end of the tenure of longtime keyboardist and dear friend, Mr. Jarret Izzo. The search for a replacement was born of Mr. Izzo’s desire to devote his full efforts toward continuing his education and he wraps his tenure with SPR with all of the love and support of the group behind him.

“It sucks to see Jarret go,” Greenwood and Malone said. “He’s been like a brother to us and that won’t change going forwards. He has indicated that he feels the most fulfilling path for him is outside the group and, as his friends, we support him fully in all that he does.”

Jarret and Stephie will play an overlapping schedule with SPR for the rest of 2009. Stephie Coplan will join the group on Thursday Oct. 15 at Bentley College and a handful of other dates that will be announced this week. Jarret Izzo will play his final two shows on Nov. 14 at the Bitter End in NYC and on 11/25 at SPR’s annual Thanksdrinkingday Ball.
