SouthSide on the Town was at our Cubby Bear show on 4/24 and posted a great review of all the bands, including Model Stranger, 20 Mark Helga, The Flavor Savors and Cavalry.
SouthSide has been a good friend and supporter of ours since the beginning. We've been friends for some time now and interestingly I learn a little bit more about her every time we run into each other at a show or industry event. This Saturday I learned she is one of the ballsiest people in the city as she unapolgetically strolled around the Cubby Bear dressed to the nine's in White Sox apparel. Hilarious.
Saturday night at the Cubby Bear was a great time to be a Chicago musician. All the guys from all of the other bands were such good people, and the fans seemed extra dancey and loud (or drunk). Don't know if something was in the air, but things felt really communal and supportive Saturday night.
Thanks to Model Stranger for putting together a great night and THANK YOU for coming out and partying with us.
Seriously all of you looked fantastic out there, but mine and Tony's asses didn't look bad either.
Here's a short clip of In The Coat Check at the beginning of our set taken by one our fans. Enjoy!
The good times don't stop bitches! Our next show in Chicago is only a few weeks away. We will be performing at Subterranean on Friday, May 14 with King Sparrow (Chicago) and Hurricane Bells (New York band featured on the Twilight soundtrack, currently touring with Blue October).
So it's only Monday, but we're already really excited to get down with all you crazy kids at Cubby Bear Wrigleyville this Saturday. One of our favorite bands in the city (and really good friends) Model Stranger is releasing a new record, "Dreams and Bones," at this show and they've kindly invited us to play with ourselves.
I'm really excited to see these guys give this project the introduction it deserves. I got to hang out with them in their studio during the pre-production phases of the record and just attended a pre-release listening party a few weeks ago. The record sounds great and I can't wait to hear em do it on stage this Saturday.
The line-up they put together for this show is awesome too.
One thing I have to say here, is that if you haven't yet, definitely check out the Flavor Savers. I was on their website for a few hours the other day laughing my balls off (imagine 3 Ron Burgandys in a rock/hip hop project). It's the balls. I can't wait to see it in person this Saturday. Make sure to stick around for them.
Here's a quick clip of what I'm talking about.

So I woke up this morning...and it was pretty much like every other morning except for the fact that this morning the whole world became aware that Steven Segeal has sex slaves? I don't even know how to feel about this one. You can read more here http://www.thewrap.com/ind-column/steven-seagal-sued-allegedly-keeping-sex-slaves-16224
