We’re plum tickled to announce that we’ll be supporting The Black Belles (Third Man Records) at their May 31st Empty Bottle Show. If you haven’t heard this White-produced, all girl horror garage quartet, you probably should go check it out now. Warning: This show may include a personal seance/excorsism (upon request) with ticket price.
Note: Stephen Colbert and Jack White will most likely not be at the show. The cat, however, most likely will attend.
Get tickets HERE before they sell out.

Were very honored to have been included in The Deli Magazine’s top ten emerging acts, tied alongside some great friends like The Steepwater Band, Mutts, and The Sweeps! Very cool, thanks Deli.
In other news, we are about to announce details for our February Empty Bottle show, and we’ll have our debut Music Video up in ONE WEEK! You’re gonna love it, it’s got men, and women, and fog, wine, suspense, automobiles, cigarettes, glitter, holy shit!
Woooo! First of all, we want to SERIOUSLY thank all the kids that came out to sell out the Beat Kitchen. That was awesome. The Boys have been busy building a recording studio, recording their upcoming debut LP, and shooting their first music video, for an upcoming single, “Salt and Pepper.” The video is very dreamy indeed, and completely self-made, written, and manifested in collaboration with Filmmaker John Gagen and artist Kristen Ostrowski. We’ve got a few pictures with more to come. Look out for the video at the beginning of January.
super excited to debut the group next week! We go on at 8PM sharp so arrive early. It’s 18+. We now present a few convincing somethings regarding next weeks engagement:
Very excited to be playing at Lincoln Hall on November 3rd with some of our very favorites, BRIGHTON, MA and JT & THE CLOUDS. We’ll be unveiling a new lineup, compete with keyboards and new faces, so make sure to come and check it out early!
Show is 18+ and $10
We are working on a new record – details to come soon and shit!
We’re very pleased to announce that we’ll be supporting California’s Hollerado at Ultra Lounge October 5th. Also playing are two of our favs, Baron Von Something and Hemmingbirds. This is gonna be a damn fine cuppa coffee. $5, 21+
You can also catch Michael playing guitar with Chicago’s AM TAXI on OCTOBER 1st at Beat Kitchen, and October 29th where AM TAXI plays The Clash for the Double Door’s annual Halloween bash! Good times!
So kids, I’ll be writing a new record for the next few months and figuring out how to fund the recording of it. An October show will be announced shortly and then hopefully we’ll start having some new stuff for you by the new year. It’s all coming together nicely, and there are surprises for all. I’d like to thank everyone for their support this year, and ask that you all spread the word, and in the meantime SUPPORT CHICAGO MUSIC by buying stuff and most importantly GOING TO SHOWS! I know I will be! USA!
We’re really psyched to have added one last Chicago date to the menu. Our final show for quite awhile will now be a Lolla Aftershow @ Elbo Room w/ TAB THE BAND, who has just finished up a world tour with STP. The group features some of Joe Perry’s offspring, and they are a damn fine rock n’ roll act. The show is AUGUST 5th and we go on at MIDNIGHT.
The promoters, Audum Live, are putting on a promo presale deal, check it out HERE.
