We’d like to thank each and every one of you for packing the clubs in Champaign, St. Louis and Carbondale this past weekend. We loved the energy of the crowds and owe much to you for making those rooms as packed as they were. We will be back to those towns in a few months, so keep your eyes on our Web site for the specifics. We are taking this weekend off to work on some new material and will be back at The Note for a First Beat show on February 4. Come join us for some late-night grooves from 2-5 a.m.
