We made it back from the Rocky Mountain region alive, but changed forever. On the road bus repairs cost us some delays, and forced us to rent a fleet of mini-vans for the mountain shows, but we hauled all 15 tons of our bus back eventually. Not before a tire exploded on us and the exhaust pipe broke in two places. Ahh well. 1982 luxury has 2006 prices. Next we have dates in Ohio, Iowa, and we’re heading towards our New York tour in December. Check out the “Performances” section for more info.
Green Bay and Marquette, You Set?
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.
