Day 2. I was basically a useless sack of protoplasm for a good portion of the day. I need to get my sea legs.

Another semi-local gig. This time at the recently revamped Club Anything in Milwaukee. Gary and John have done a fantastic job remodeling and updating that ( Read more... )

Show one of the “Fading Belief” tour is over and done.

Good turnout, really enthusiastic crowd. It’d be great if they were all like that. Of course, not every show can have Wendy’s dad, Eric Goedken, and Jill/Eric’s parents in the audience. Home court advantage, and all ( Read more... )

Friday night was the late-night, barely-controlled chaos that was a Caustic show.  I mention that merely because I was rocking the theremin and some keys for that gig.  I also mention that because it meant I didn’t get home to sleep until well after 2am.

Man, I’m STILL tired.

Saturday was eventful.  Well, the gig was a capital-E Event, after all.

A little backstory - staurdya was a benefit gig, for Gary/DJ Garz, who has been an ardent supporter of a lot of local and international niche talen over the years.  He’s one of the ( Read more... )

Actual screaming teenage girls.

This is…new.

This was the first non 21+ show we’ve played since the Burnsville Debacle, so it was a chance to play to an audience that hasn’t already seen us play 600 times.  This resulted in a knot of people in the audience who were very ( Read more... )
