Bored Blog

It's the day before Halloween and all the parties already happened. I'm bored. I'm watching Roseanne. I'm splitting the only beer that was in the fridge with Sarabeth. I'm rearranging the house. Blargh.

The last week saw two shows at Cold House and they were both bitchin good times. Saturday was PLANETS from Austin, playing for almost nobody but still cool with it. Wednesday was SLEEPING IN THE AVIARY & they ruled. If you missed it, you are among the 99%.

Currently there's nothing on the calendar and it looks like the space we'd normally use for shows is going to be taken over for creative purposes, so Cold House shows are probably going to be few and far between.

The next few shows I'm excited about are on the 12th. So, your choice is go to the Replay and see Cave, or go to the Foundation and see us. Obviously Cave is way better, but are they a 45 minute drunk drive better? We will see.

We're also booking the next Scammers tour for January. We should hit Springfield, Memphis, Nashville, Birmingham, New Orleans (twice!), Shreveport, Little Rock, & MORE!

New album sometime this winter. SOON!

Gonna go get a bottle o wine.

Strictest Sense is Awesome

It's October 11th. It's been 14 days since I posted anything here. So what has happened in the last two weeks?
LOTS

Scammers kicked off the first of 7 shows this month on Sunday with Melt-Banana and Gangi. I gotta say, I expected a lot more of an ego kick from it and got nothing. Seeing Melt-Banana was awesome. Playing at 9pm for a crowd of twenty seated as far away from the stage as they could get was less awesome. Owing money on the bar tab at the end of the night? Far from awesome. Oh, and Gangi was awesome.

What was truly AWESOME was the show last night at FOKL w/ Gangi, Close/Far, Expo '70, & South Bitch Diet. Here's how awesome it was:

And here's Sarabeth looking awesome.

FOKL is a really cool place. It is located at 556 Central Ave. in KCK (not as far as you might think) and is going to be very worth checking out for future art/music/everything shows.

If you missed that, come out tomorrow to Sofa King Swing HQ @ 1541 Madison (westside) @ 8PM for Idaho Joe Winslow & Blondie Brunetti & me doing a solo Scammers set

Awesome.
