Verona Red's Triumphant Return To The 70's
So a few weeks ago we traveled back in time to play a show in the 70's.
The time machine landed in Lake Zurich, IL the town Mike and I grew up in about 45 minutes northwest of Chicago. It was Mike's mom's 18th birthday, so we donned our puffy shirts and porno mustaches to help her celebrate.
Though we weren't alive in the 70's, pretending to be made me wish that I was.
Here's my best attempt at a Kevin Arnold-ish home video to recap the night. Props to Stephanie for the retro camera work.

IQ's Food, Music and Art (Green Bay, WI) 5/7/2011
This was our first trip to Green Bay. We celebrated by going down to Bay Beach and playing on the playground.
Here's a sweet montage and some pics to follow.
We didn't have anyone with us to shoot the show, so this is all we have to remember the night by...which is actually pretty unfortuante.
The kids at IQ's were a rowdy bunch and we loved it. Dancing, stripping, and spanking were par for the course. I even got this cool flower at the end of the night!
This re-affirms my belief that some small towns just know how to rock harder...next time I'm getting the camera up on stage for sure.
Oh and last but not least...if you are ever in Green Bay look up The Pat and Augie Show. Hilarious guys and FANTASTIC musicians, it was so cool of them to jump on the bill last minute with us.

Frank's Power Plant (Milwaukee, WI) 5/6/2011
Milwaukee...it's Algonquin for the good land...
Sure is Mr. Cooper. Frank's Power Plant was the shiz.
Thank you to Afraid of Dave and Arkady for sharing the stage.
Afraid of Dave taught us a lesson that night... don't let mishaps get you down...so what if your guitar strap breaks.. you can always play sitting down.
We took that lesson to heart... I mean so what if you fall off your bass amp and come crashing into the drums... you can always play laying down...
Haha serioulsy though Tony kicks ass...if you would have seen his hand after the show you would have been amazed that he got through the rest of the set without fainting from blood loss. I post this vid as an homage to him and his unwavering constitution.
The rest of the night was awesome. We ate some peanuts, drank some beers and hung out with tons of cool folks.
Huge thanks to Claire for putting us up for the night. She is awesome.
