Currently in the middle of a string of fall shows, including one WEDS, NOV 14 at the Royal Oak Music Theatre with The Silent Years, The Word Play and The Decks. Please come out and help make that place seem less huge.
Lots of new songs still in the works- you may have heard some of them at recent shows. They might remind you of this. Writing, recording, mixing.. it may be a single, an EP, not sure yet. Any ideas?

Click on Real Detroit to read a recent story that was written about us. It sums up our existence perfectly.
We're playing our first show since the Blowout debacle next Friday Aug 3 with Solitary States and Jimmy Ohio. We are a three piece now so expect things to be a little different.
Also, if you haven't seen it, check out the video we did for Emergency Brigade.
Sorry about the lack of updates, we're working on a new record and will let you know what's going on.

Just added some shows: Fri, Feb 2 at the Magic Stick with Canada and the Word Play. Only 5.00 to get in. Hamtramck Blowout slot is Fri, March 9 with His Name is Alive and the Pantones.
It's a new year which means it's time to record a new album.. maybe two. More later.

This Friday, we play the Sounds and Spirits show at the Magic Stick. It's the first time we've been asked to play. Read the article in Real Detroit, where we were asked about Christmas related things.
We're on a Neil Young tribute record coming out soon. The release show is Jan 13th at the Lager House in Detroit. We did 'Barstool Blues' from Zuma. Saturday Looks Good To Me, The Hard Lessons and many other great bands are on the record. Here's a sample of all the songs.

Tour was a blast, our best one yet. Played some great shows, met lots of nice people, saw some great bands. Shawn and I learned that we can survive on less than 30.00 worth of food. Surprisingly everyone treated us really well and we don't have any horror stories to report. A few pics are posted, more are on the way. Toledo Pop Fest is next week, after that we take a little break while Shawn's other band Child Bite goes on tour.
