    .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. ............ .. .. .. .. .. .. .. ...... ......Myspace Layout Generator.. by LayoutGeneratorMyspace.com.......... <.... About The Approach .. The Approach is a fun and energetic band based out of the Philadelphia area. The Approach has played Pre and Post game shows for the Washington Redskins as well as their 2008 Draft Day Party at Fedex Field. The band has headlined bars and clubs in PA, NJ, DE, VA, WV and MD including some notable places such as the Manayunk Brew Pub, Seacrets, Kildares (Newark, Manayunk and King of Prussia), Brew River, Champions, Bootleggers, Cancun Cantina West, Whiskey Tango, RiRa AC, VA and MD, The Sea Shell, Bourbon Blue, House of Blues, Bubba’s Rock Shack, Finnigans Wake and all the Hardware Bar locations in PA. .. The band prides itself on its versatility which enables them to play to any crowd. The energy and party atmosphere they bring to the venues they play always makes for a profitable evening for the bar and a great time for its patrons. The band considers themselves alcohol salesmen with instruments. All of this combined with exceptional musicianship has enabled the band to continue to rock the MidAtlantic states yearly. Once you see them work a crowd, you'll understand what all the buzz is about. .. ..
