April 21st - Merch Board: Urbana, IL

This will be my third home-made merchandise board. The first one got crushed by a guitar case, the second was thrown out by the Chicago crooks in an attempt, I am sure, to rid our trailer of any conne...

February 2-3rd - Up Or On The Rocks: Hartford, CT

Our time in Connecticut was bizarre yet productive. Arriving late to UOOTR, we loaded in quick, set up, and then waited as the Mardi Gras Madness began to find it's way into the club. Our new fan Rich...

January 30-31st - Wobbly Barn: Killington, VT
