We're very excited to be hitting the road at the end of this month for two shows.

The first will be on Friday, 4/26 with our friends The Pirouettes in Carbondale, IL.

The second will be with the Lawrence, Kansas' own Cowboy Indian Bear the following evening, 4/27 in Champaign, IL.

As you can see, we are only visiting towns that start with C.

We'll be announcing some May shows soon.  Stay tuned!

Picture
This EP was recorded this past December at CarterCo Recording with the superbly capable Jamie Carter engineering for us.  We recorded it live to a tape machine, and I think you can really hear the sound of us playing together as a band.

You can listen to the EP and download a copy for yourself at our BandCamp page right here.

We couldn't be prouder of how it turned out.  Thanks very, very much to everyone who donated to our fundraiser!  Thanks to everyone for listening.

We'll be celebrating the EP's release with a show tonight at Quencher's Saloon (2401 N. Western) with The Noise FM, Stepfather Gets Mohawk, and Chasing Dinosaurs.  If you'd like to get a hard copy of the EP itself, this is the place to get it.

Alright.  We're going to go jump up and down and shout things now.
