There’s really not an abundance of newsworthy content this month, so I’ll keep this brief, for once.
Next weekend, on Saturday, March 16th, we’ll be rolling into Peoria, IL, and occupying the support slot for the Southern Accents show at Revival Music Hall. Doors at 6PM, show at 8. If you’re not familiar with these guys, they’re a smokin’ Tom Petty tribute act, and our own Kenny Wright has subbed for them on occasion. It’ll be nice to get back home for a show, particularly at this venue, which played host to countless now-legendary national acts back in the day. Hell, I actually caught Trixter there as a wee lad, but never had the privilege of playing it myself, until now. If you’re in or around Central Illinois, you should swing by. It’s hard to say when we’ll make it back up that way again.
The next night is a Saint Patrick’s Day fest in Marion, IL, where we’ll be doing what seems like a “matinee” of sorts, taking the stage from 6-8PM on a Sunday(March 17th), at the one & only John Brown’s On The Square. We’re gonna blast straight through 2 hours of our finest, stopping just long enough to toast the first person to puke up something green.
What else have we been up to? Well, Kenny’s still mixing his next solo record, Rizzo & I have teamed up with Billy Baker & Henry Go, to dust off what we’re tentatively calling fORMER(since we’re playing material from those records to get our heads back into the game), until one of us coughs up a more suitable moniker, and Matt has been pursuing his lifelong dream of becoming the World’s greatest voice impersonator.
Rizzo bested my long-standing record as the A-Sides podcast’s top recurring guest, with a discussion of the sounds of 1994. You can check that out HERE, while I made my FIRST guest appearance on The Narcissistic Music Disorder, to geek out over Favorite British Albums, and that can be heard HERE.
What’s next? No clue…but maybe a show or two in April, with details yet to be hashed out as I type this. Please keep an eye on our Shows page for updates on those.
See? Brevity? I CAN do it.
Be good to each other,
Denny
