Off to Jimmy Sea’s again in Green Bay for a Thursday performance this week. Then Friday and Saturday is our triumphant return to Marquette Michigan at Upfront and Company. After a brief boycott by the local Alphamale Stigma Pie fraternity, we’ve been re-welcomed by the local “cool people.” Both nights are sure to pack very different experimental twists and turns. Click on the “Performances” link above for details on this weekend’s shows. Don’t forget to request your favorite Americana Classic played by the onboard computer on our new tour bus including “Deep in the Heart of Texas”, “If I were a rich man”, “Wild Blue Yonder” and other American RV classics.
Chicago’s darkroom on Friday, Champaigns Canopy Club Saturday
This Friday night we cap off our two-week return to Chicago with a 10 p.m. performance at darkroom on Chicago Avenue, collaboarting for the first time at a event with Mwelma, who hosts an residency at darkroom on the second Friday of every month. In addition to our show, expect an eclectic mix of down tempo, future boogie, afrobeat, latin grooves, Brazilian beats, African variety and house with resident DJ 4BZ with guest DJ Select. On Saturday we’ll brush off any lingering snow from our bus (early snow showers here in Chicago this morning) and truck down to Champaign for a gig at The Canopy Club. Print out this page and bring it to the Champaign show for a $2 discount. We’ll see you there.
Just hangin’ in chi-town for a couple
We’re enjoying a rare weekend off this week. We’re gonna party like mad all over town, freed from the confines of the stage and insane from months of touring, a 2nd album recording session, and lots of free schwag beer and well drinks. We’re also giddy from getting mentioned briefly in Esquire magazine. Look for remnants of CAbP in local bars, clubs, a really cool party on Saturday by our bus parking spot, and in the revery of sweet freedom, no thanks to George Bush and the global war on tear(-r)! In other news, Cavestock was a mud party run by angry ex-deadheads and didn’t pan out. We couldn’t park our tour bus in their muddy grass and were soon chased off the premises by angry hippies–failed revolutionaries, now addicted to trailer crack, we surmise. It was all very strange. (What’s with all the Sudafed?) Carbondale, at the Hangar 9, was a blast as always. Check out our 2nd of the new “1st Beat” series at The Kinetic Playground on Saturday, October 2nd.
