We all know the day after Christmas is a bit of a bummer. The good news is, you probably have the day off work/school, have friends in town, and now…you’ve got kick ass plans!
12/26 we’ll be playing at The Empty Bottle, and this is a show you won’t want to miss. We’re playing alongside a couple great Chicago bands, Unicycle Loves You, and We Will Eat Rats To Survive. DJ Screeble Dee will keep the party alive between sets, so you can essentially shake it non-stop, all night long.
The Empty Bottle is one of the best places to see rock music in Chicago, and they have a mighty fine (and affordable) selection of beers, wines, and spirits that will be sure to keep you warm on this predictably cold winter’s night.
So come on out and keep the festivities rolling all the way until the new year! Tickets are available here.
A nice look at the Laughing Prairie Dog Festival we participated in over the weekend. Many thanks to WPGU for putting together this awesome event, and for letting us be a part of the inaugural lineup!
Looking for something awesome to do this weekend? Well, we’ve got your answer. Friday night we’ll be playing at the Laughing Prairie Dog Festival in Champaign-Urbana, hosted by WPGU and Canopy Club.
It’s the inaugural year of the festival, and they are kicking it off with one hell of a lineup which includes:
We’ve never had a bad night in Champaign-Urbana, and we don’t plan on starting this weekend. Nothing like a great lineup of bands in the heart of a great college town. That means lots of music, and lots of partying. So come join us!
Matt here, checking in from beautiful Maui, Hawaii. I’m not trying to rub it in or anything, but you should be jealous. In the above video, the sun is setting over the island of Lanai, and I filmed a few seconds of it from the beach on Maui. I’ll try to drop a few more updates on you, but between swimming in the ocean, laying on the beach, and stuffing my face, I might not have the time.
Don’t forget, we’re playing the Laughing Prairie Dog Festival in Champaign-Urbana Dec 4th with Smoking Popes, Headlights, Hood Internet, Santahh, and Common Loon. It’s the inaugural year of the festival, and we are very excited to be a part of it. Hope you can join us!
Check out this cool article about the band from today’s Chicago Tribune entitled, “Hear Pet Lions roar”. Not only do we roar, but some of us play soccer, too.
And don’t forget to come see us next week at Bottom Lounge!
We are very excited to announce that we will be playing at the Laughing Prairie Dog Festival in Champaign-Urbana on December 4th. The (rather awesome) lineup includes: The Smoking Popes, Headlights, The Hood Internet, Santah, and Common Loon. It’s a brand new festival being put on by the great people at WPGU, and will take place at the Canopy Club. We are pumped to be a part of this event, and always enjoy a trip down to good old Chambana! Grab your ticket here.
Good news- We’ve got another great show for you to put on your calendar. On November 19th, we’re playing with A Sunny Day in Glasgow at Bottom Lounge in Chicago. They’re a great band from Philadelphia (not Scotland), and we’re stoked to be joining them for this great show. Bottom Lounge is a very cool venue with great sound, great beer, and on the 19th…great bands! The show starts at 8pm, and tickets can be bought in advance right here. We really hope you can join us.
Thanks to everyone who made it out to Schubas last night. We had an awesome time playing, and really enjoyed the sets by The Uglysuit and Gringo Star. We’re starting to feel like it rains every time we play a gig, and that rain is at its heaviest whenever we are moving equipment outdoors. It’s unfortunate, but not the end of the world. Now if our stuff was made of sugar-that would be a real problem.
If you weren’t able to join us, be sure to catch us at Bottom Lounge 11/19 with A Sunny Day in Glasgow.
There are still some tickets available for the show at Schubas tonight. They’re $8 if you buy in advance, and $10 at the door. We’re playing first at 9pm, followed by The Uglysuit and Gringo Star. Schubas is one of our favorite places to both see and play music at in Chicago, and we think it’s going to be one hell of a show this evening. So cancel your other plans, gather up your friends, and get on down to Schubas tonight!
Don’t forget to buy your tickets for our show at Schubas tomorrow night. We always have an awesome time playing at this legendary venue, and know that it’s going to be a great show. Our set is at 9pm, before two great sets from touring bands, Gringo Star, and The Uglysuit.
We’re really looking forward to it, and hope you can join us!
