A special thanks goes out to all you dancing queens at the Oakmont Tavern
last night. You gals were great (and fun to watch :)). Another great crowd
made last night's show at the Tav a memorable one. As always, thanks to
Alicia for another great performance. You can catch Alicia along with her
sister Gina with us again on March 27 at Rodney's in Irwin.

Boy do we love playing at The Lighthouse (Grim's Roadhouse)! A great crowd
was on hand last Saturday night and we delivered a tremendous show. Keep
checking our schedule as we will be booking more shows there in the future.
Thanks to everybody who showed up...

What a great show last night at Rodney's. The crowd was fantastic and we
loved every minute of it! Check our schedule for future dates at Rodney's in
Irwin. Our next show is Saturday, 2/20/10 at Grim's Roadhouse in Imperial, PA.
Don't be fooled by the name. This venue was formerly known as The
Lighthouse where we played last year for the first time. It's one of the few
venues around here dedicated to rock bands. Don't be shy, take a drive and
check this place out.

Damn that snow! Although the inclement weather kept the crowd to intimate,
the Meals on Wheels benefit concert last night was a great show. Thanks to
everyone who made it out and special thanks to Jen for organizing the event.
She did a great job and we were proud to be part of the charity event in
raising money for Meals on Wheels!
Our sights now turn to the new year and our next show at Rodney's in Irwin.
Keep checking our schedule as we have many shows already in the works for
2010 including the first ever pure Neutral Loss concert. New covers and yes,
new originals are on their way...
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Well if ever there was proof of guardian angels, we saw it last night at the
Oakmont Tavern. Our angel was Mark Laritonda who came to our rescue
when Jeff realized he had left his cymbals, his only cymbals, at the
Lighthouse after our last show there. Long story short, Mark was kind enough
to bring his set of cymbals to the show for Jeff to use. Don't let him forget it
Mark! Anyway, we had a great time as always at the Oakmont Tavern. Thanks
to everyone who showed. Our next show is November 14 at Rodney's in Irwin.

We'd like to thank everyone who showed up last night at The Lighthouse. It
was a great crowd and a great place for rock music. Thanks to Mike and Gary
as well who took care of our sound and lights for us. We look forward to
playing there again soon. Our next show is October 24th at the Oakmont
Tavern. This show will be very special as it will be our 100th show. Plan to be
there for another celebration!

Hey everyone! We are very excited to announce that we just booked a show
at a new venue called The Lighthouse located in Imperial. Check out the link

very first show there. Great Venue!
!!8-24-09!!
Unfortunately, our show scheduled for this Saturday, 8/29/09, at Rodney's has
been cancelled. We're sorry for any inconvenience this late notice may have
caused. The show was cancelled by Rodney without explanation. We're quite
disappointed as we have enjoyed playing at Rodney's and have always
promoted it as one of our favorite venues. We hope to reschedule there
soon.

Thanks to everyone who made it to The Oakmont Tavern last night. We had a
great time. Remember, if you need a CD, click the links on the left and you can
purchase online. We'll see you at Rodney's on August 29, 2009.

Another great show was had last night at Rodney's. Thanks as always to the
lovely Gina and Alicia (how about that Pink tune?). Who knew it would go over
so well :) Thanks to the great crowd as well and good luck to those brides-to-
be. We look forward to returning there on August 29. Check back here soon
for photos from the show. Our next show is Saturday night, 7/18/09, at the
Oakmont Tavern. We'll see you there.

Well, what can we say? The show at Royal Place on June 6th was depressing
yet a celebration. With the Penguins getting shut out by the Red Wings,
depression set in, the sound check was earlier than expected and Neutral
Loss took the stage with energy, surprisingly at 10:00pm. Although there was
a “small” crowd Saturday night, they hung in there and kept Neutral Loss
energized ALL night long. This was a “special” crowd, special because “Duff”
a long time Neutral Loss supporter and friend officially retired from Port
Authority. “Duff” was a rail operator and a loyal Union Representative for
Local 85. He’ll be missed but expected to be present at ALL Neutral Loss
shows going forward. This night was special for “Duff’s” children as well.
They’ve been serving our country in Iraq and we were honored to have one
of “Duff’s” son’s at the show Saturday night after a long deployment in Iraq.
Thank you! Also, ironically, “Tim” (the guy taking over for “Duff” as the Union
Rep) received a phone call this week from his son. His son was calling to let
Tim know that he safely arrived in Iraq. So, there were several things to
celebrate and we did just that. Opening up the second set with Star Spangled
Banner seemed priceless for Tim. He stood for the entire solo performed by
Jim DiPerna. All we can say to Tim, Duff and Duff’s children is….Thank you.
Don’t think we forgot about Kevin and Cindy, Bill & wife, Dawn, Rich, the ZZ
Top couple, LaNette and Joe. You guys made this a memorable show and we
appreciate your support. Finally, thanks to “Jeff” from Mean Street for
“popping” in.
Neutral Loss will be back at Royal Place on September 12th, 2009. Keep
checking the website for updates and ALL upcoming Neutral Loss shows.
5-17-09
Another great show was had at Rodney's last night. Thanks to everyone who
made it out especially Zach, Nicholas, and Gianna and Gabriella (Jim and
Jeff's kids respectively). Another great crowd showed up as well and
definitely enjoyed themselves as the dancing continued all the way up to the
final song. Gina and Alicia were great as always and we expect to begin
working on some new material with them in coming weeks. We'll be back at
The Royal Place on Saturday June 6, 2009 after a lengthy absence. It's another
great venue located in Overbook off Rte 88- easy to get to. We look forward
to another great show there and to seeing all of you again!
Keep in mind, if you missed picking up one of our CDs at the show, you can
purchase them right here online by clicking one of the links above. These
CDs contain all original material written and performed by Neutral Loss!

Thank you to all of you who made it out to the Hard Rock Cafe last night. What
a fun crowd! The Penguins' big overtime win put us all in a good mood. Go
PENS! Well, the spotlight turns to Rodney's where we'll be next Saturday May
16. We're looking forward to another big show there. Our friends Gina and
Alicia will be performing with us as well so you don't want to miss. Show time
is 10 p.m. Check out the Hard Rock photos in the photos section.

After a very interesting but frustrating evening at the Oakmont Tavern last
night, we're now turning our sights to the Hard Rock Cafe in Pittsburgh for our
huge "100th Show Celebration"! This will be another great event celebrating a
great milestone with lots of new tunes and plenty of door prizes. Tickets are
only $7. Come down to one of the nicest venues in the area and enjoy one of
the best bands in the area. A special thank you goes out to Gina and Alicia for
belting out some tunes with us again and to the great crowd at the Oakmont
Tavern last night for enduring all those technical difficulties- still a great time
was had by all....
See you all at the Hard Rock Cafe!
**4-10-09**
We've just added a new show to our schedule! As part of our "100th Show
Celebration", we have been asked to play at one of our favorite venues- The
Hard Rock Cafe at Station Square Pittsburgh. This huge event will be held on

place to see the city of Pittsburgh as well as enjoy fine food and of course
your favorite local rock trio Neutral Loss. Tickets are only $7 and can be
purchased ahead of time (highly recommended- just see one of the boys in
the band) or can be purchased at the door the night of the show. There will
be some giveaways, as usual, as well as plenty of new tunes. Check back

Another Night at one of our favorite places to play Rodneys!! Friday the 20th
was a ton of fun to be had by all. Gina and Alicia joined us again to belt out a
few great ones. Special note also was that Friday was Gina's birthday, so we
celebrated it with a show!! We had a great time and it seemed like the crowd
did also. We can't wait to be back there in May. Upcoming on April 25th is our
other favorite place to play for the last 8 years or so, The Oakmont Tavern.
If you haven't been there for a while you gotta check out what they did to the
place. One big room on the first floor and an upstairs deck overlooking the
Blvd. SEE YA AT THE SHOW!!!!
2-27-09
Well, it was another great show at Rodney's last Saturday night. If you haven't
seen us there yet, you've got to try and make the next show. We'll be back at
Rodney's on Friday, March 20th. Help us celebrate our very own Rick Cerra's
birthday! We also hope to present a few new cover tunes for you as well.
Remember, if you need a CD just click the links on the left side of this page.
There's a rumor going around that there may be a third CD in the works??
Just ask one of the boys at the next show!
2-5-09
What can I say, The Oakmont crowd was incredible as usual!! Everyone was in
the partying mood for the Super Bowl weekend and we had a great night
playing for you all. Gina did us the honor again of coming up from the D.C.
area to sing with us, which was great!! We will have Gina and Alicia singing at
our next show at Rodneys in Irwin on the 21st of this month. Once again I
have to say that you have got to come out to Rodneys. It is a very nice
Bar/Restaurant just off of Rt 30 in Irwin. Take the Pike to Irwin exit-Head
towards Greensburg one light- Right turn at light (Arona Rd)-Up hill to stop
sign-Right turn over the pike and into the parking lot. It is literally 3 minutes
from the Irwin Exchange. So set the Cruise Control and head to Irwin on the
21st and hear one of the Best Rock Bands in the area. See Ya At The Show!!!
1-25-09
