Shows!

We are emerging from our rock cocoon. Two, maybe three shows are in the offing for spring/summer.


Where? When? 


Friday, May 4, at Double Down Live, we'll be playing with Five Eight. You've never heard of Five Eight? What are you, deaf? Blind? Live under a rock? They've been featured on NPR. They've been a band for 20 years. And they quite literally embody the essence of what it is like to be a rock band. We've played with Five Eight a few times, usually at the old Covered Dish. They are cool cats, Mike plays every show like it's his last, and it never is. I've never seen a band that could hold a crowd by playing un-amplified like them. Mike used to walk into the middle of the Dish and, with no microphone, just sing "Weirdo" at the top of his lungs. And you could hear a pin drop. So come see them, ok?


Friday, June 15, we'll be playing with another long-time, reunited band, Loyal Frisby. We've played with Loyal a few times, like back in 2000 or 2001 or thereabouts. At the old Florida Theatre, at the Covered Dish, at Market Street. I'm excited to see what the lineup is, they've had quite a few dudes in the band. LF is a riveting live band, come see them even if you hate us.


We're hoping for an April show, will let you know as soon as we get that ironed out.


Strangely, I was going through some old flyers, and I found a flyer I was making for a show with both Loyal Frisby and Five Eight at the Market Street pub. I think I remember that show, and it ruled.
