Fun at Lilly's, Shows in Downers Dec. 2 and Dec. 18

Lilly's last Saturday:  We had an awesome time at Lilly's this past Saturday.  It was great to be able to play early and hang out with everyone afterward.  The Long Islands were deceptively tasty . . .  The sound was great, and we had a great turnout, so thanks to everyone who came out to support us.  We will have videos from the show up on our facebook and myspace pages sometime in the next few days.  

And we can't say enough about  The Sweeps!  We really appreciate their hooking us up with the show and taking us under their wing.  For those of you who didn't get to hear them play, their set was amazing.  Just really high energy, fun progressive punk rock.  They'll be playing with us at our Shanahan's show on Dec. 18.  Please take the opportunity to see them (and us) live in Downers -- you will be hooked.

Next on the docket:  We are playing at Shanahan's (2009 Ogden Ave., Downers Grove) Battle of the Bands this Thursday (Dec. 2).  The battle starts at 9 pm.  We'll be going on 3rd (out of 3) and playing a full 45 minutes.  No cover!

Big Shanahan's show Dec. 18:  As I mentioned above, we have a big Saturday show coming up at Shanahan's on Saturday Dec. 18.  The show starts at 9 and will feature ourselves, the Sweeps, and Jet Black Comedy.  We are really excited about the bands that are playing with us, and if you like us, you will definitely like them.  This is an important one for us.  If we get a good turn out, Shanahan's will have us back relatively regularly on weekends, so please come support us and help us keep landing good shows in Downers Grove. 

Demo update:  Troc, Thornton and I are getting together this evening to try to finalize the mix for our 2 song demo.  As soon as it is finished we will make downloads available on our facebook and myspace pages.  We are loving the way it's sounding, so we can't wait to show you guys.
