Band Members: PLEASE READ!!!
WE DON'T HAVE ANY AUTOMATIC "FRIEND FINDER" OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT.
IF YOU GOT A FRIEND REQUEST FROM US IT'S BECAUSE WE ACTUALLY FOUND YOU, SAW YOUR PROFILE AND THOUGHT YOU WOULD BE INTERESTED.
IF YOU'RE NOT, THAT'S COOL TOO.
WE ARE A LOCAL BAND PLAYING SHOWS IN THE AREA, TRYING TO GET THE WORD OUT, AND, HAVING A PARTY!
WE ARE TRYING TO KEEP OUR FRIENDS LIST PRIMARILY OF LOCALS (SOME FRIENDS THAT WERE FORMERLY IN TOWN, AND, PROFILES WE CAN'T DO WITHOUT, LIKE "BEAKER")
WE'RE NOT TRYING TO BOOK A TOUR OF WISCONSIN!
We are currently trying to build a band site so, techniquely, "the more the merrier", but, at the core of our intentions as a.....whatever the hell it is we do....performer, artist, etc. is to be part of a community.
So that means......GETTING TO KNOW YOUR COMMUNITY.
Granted, we're the "have fun" part, but we're still a part, and are affected by everything that happens here. Good and bad.
As we grow, it's going to be hard to keep up with everything everyone is doing, but we are grateful for everyone and it IS NOT too hard to say hello and get to know you all. Even if only by tiny amounts at a time.On a different note, we are an ADULT band catering to an adult audience. We're not perverse* or crude, it's just that we play in bars, clubs, and such. We love having younger people enjoying the show if we are at a festival, outdoor event, etc. but, we would prefer our community to be primarily adults who enjoy the nightlife. (and like to boogie.......sorry, song reference, I can't help it)* could you define perverse? ;)
SO HERE WE GO!

Sounds Like: If you weren't sure about the "Shermer" thing, what the name is all about:
"When I first started making movies, I thought I would just invent a town where everything happened. Everybody, in all my movies, is from Shermer, Illinois. Del Griffith from Planes, Trains & Automobiles lives two doors down from Samantha Baker. Ferris Bueller knew Samantha Baker from Sixteen Candles. For 15 years I've written my Shermer stories in prose, collecting its history."
