Stay tuned for some pics and videos coming sooner or later, and of course info on our next shows. Oh by the way, did you know "Crooks and their Castles" is for sale at Reckless Records (includes mailorder!) and also Bucket O' Blood?

My goodness, what a show!

We had a BLAST at the Hideout, one of our favorite venues in Chicago. TOURING BANDS - If you see this post, and are looking for Chicago venues, be sure to call up Hideout..

My Goodness Wailing away

Here's just a few of the amazing pics that our friend Justin Watson James shot before the show. He's basically our Annie Leibovitz..

I happened to bring my FlipCam (RIP!) with me to the show, and captured some great video of our good friends ManBirdBelly and also My Goodness utterly RIPPING.

Enough reading...this is America, right? Enjoy!

FrontManology 101 - Tim Harrington

It may be hard to see, but Tim is actually coddling a small dog here (handed to him by an audience member). The dog was unharmed but definitely surprised.

Bully at the Metro - Pics!

I wore shades during "Magnanimous Corpses"

Check our A-Ron's kickass new bass! He's loving it.

Record Store Day!

Record Store Day instantly became one of my favorite days. Forget Coachella! This was happening in my own backyard...

Joan of Arc was great at Reckless, and Saki Records was as cool as I could have hoped - a real musical outpost! I got there just in time to see the 1900s. I also saw Rabid Rabbit and In Tall Buildings. It was a fantastic day!  I hope we can play Saki sometime soon.

Saw Joan of Arc at Reckless on Milwaukee

They were sounding great, the set reminded me a lot of Tim's other band Owls.

Then I headed to Saki to see the 1900's.

They sounded great! I told Edward the bassist really nailed the "Spoon" tone.

Mannequin Men at the Viaduct

I was happy to catch a show at the Viaduct Theater last Thursday. It was a Vice Magazine sponsored party (along with Empty Bottle Presents) where Hollows, Lover and the Mannequin Men played. The MM played what I presume to be a few unrecorded new tunes, as well as some old classics. Great times!
