We had a good summer! We played a bunch of really fun block parties and put out a split 7" with our dear friends Black Diet. And now, as a favor to you, our fans, we will stop playing shows for a little while. No more getting Facebook event invites to 5 shows every month. We'll try to get our butts outta Minneapolis a little more often and make our Minneapolis concerts a little bit more rare and special.
To tide you all over, here's our new videos, both directed by Gordon Byrd. We also have our next Minneapolis show booked at the 331 Club with Fuck Knights on November 22nd. It'll be pretty rowdy.

Spring Wrap Up!
WOW! What a blast the last few months have been!
March!
3/2 We play the BLBC Sava-Dangerously Hunt Party in and it was a blast! It was Joy's first show with us! Yay, Joy!(She is the bomb, FYI.)
We played a really great show in Duluth at RT Quinlan's with an amazing Soul/R&B band called Big Wave Dave & the Ripples. Can't wait to hear Funk Bat again!
April!
4/20 We played 2 really great shows in 1 day! First we played at Hymie's Vintage Records as part of their Record Store Day celebration. So many great local bands played that day. What a blast. There was still snow on the ground and it was kinda chilly out. It looked like this.
Then we hopped in the Bieberwagon to play at Dibs Cafe to close down the Midwest Music Fest. Everyone at Dibs is amazing and we can't wait to go back and party with them.
We also were very privileged to open up our friend Lucy Michelle's solo album "Attack of the Heart" Release Party at the Cedar Cultural Center. It was an amazing night.
May!!
Even though we only had one show this was a crazy month for us. We got to watch "When I was your Queen" on TPT's MNOriginal! It was crazy to see ourselves on TV! Also, we sat down with a very nice fella from the City Pages named Erik Thompson. We were actually in the print edition!
5/26 Memory Lanes Block Party! This was a really great show!
So many of our Friends and Family were there! AND, we met all kinds of new friends! It was a treat to play with Sean Anonymous & Dream Crusher, Black Diet, Teenage Moods, The Outstanding Achievements in the Field of Excellence, The Snaps, Platypus, Crunchy Kids, and the Hotpants DJs.
June!
6/16 The Stone Arch Bridge Festival was a mega success. Even though we forgot our bass guitar in the van the rad stage crew drove Trevor back to Piñata Records HQ to get an extra bass and got back just in time to start the set. It looked like this.
The only bummer was the lack of Burritos back stage. And I suppose that none of us have won the lottery yet.

SSD shoots 2 songs for MN Original
Southside Desire spent the morning of Tuesday, March 26 at the Twin CIties Public Television studios in St. Paul, where they were invited to record two songs. There is no air-date as of yet, but they can promise multiple costumes and a sparkly set. Here's some photos to prove they were there.
