All we need is Eddie Van Halen...
We must be doing something right because our July is rad.
So check it out: We're playing at the Basilica Block Party on Saturday July 11th. Wilco are headlining the big stage, with ex-Drive-by Trucker Jason Isbell before them and Jenny Lewis before him, and hot new southern psych band Fly Golden Eagle before her. We'll be on the little local stage at 6 PM between American Scarecrows and Aero Flynn. There is also another stage that has other bands. This is way exciting because Wilco and Jason Isbell are some of my favorite rock star level bands playing right now. Personal note (Damien's writing this): at first I was hesitant about playing this gig because of all the questionable and/or bad things the Catholic Church does/did. BUT I have been assured that the funds raised by the BBP go toward one thing: upkeep of the Basilica itself, which is the nicest architecture I've ever seen in a freeway crotch. Also, the leadership at the Basilica is inclusive of LGBTQ members, they work hard to help the homeless, and have been vocal about transparency in sexual abuse cases. OK, so enough of that. It's an exciting gig, and we're thrilled to be on the bill!
THEN! Our next show after that is in First Avenue's Mainroom on July 24th for the release of Black Diet's new album The Good One! We'll be starting the night, followed by our friends Red Daughters and Chicago's JC Brooks and The Uptown Sound. Getadvance tickets here.
THEN! We're playing at the NE Brewer's Block Party on Sunday July 26th. It will feature beer from pretty much everyone in Northeast. And music. And food. And probably wristbands and temporary fences. It's free for all ages!
AND on August 7th, we're playing what will probably be our last show of the summer at the new Como Dockside Pavilion. It's a music and movie combo, and get this: the movie will be Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure! This will be a great send-off, as our goal for the fall is to take a break from gigs and woodshed a bunch of new songs to play for you soon.
See you out there, and thanks for your support!
