Jean Claude Damme Van is under the knife this time. No sooner do my wrists start to heal, than our trusty whip needs a power window regulator replaced. I think we’ve put more money into repairs for this thing than we have at the fuel pump. If it didn’t already have its own T-shirts & coffee mugs, emblazoned with that ridiculously cool name (You’re welcome, JCDV), we likely would’ve retired the beast long ago.

The Van, The Myth, The Legend.

Speaking of T-shirts, we have a new design available from our Printify store, and you can make one yours by simply clicking right HERE (and remitting a nominal fee, of course). Inspired by the single greatest love affair in celluloid history, that of Ellen Aim & Tom Cody, in Streets Of Fire, it’s one even Billy Fish couldn’t say no to owning, probably in an ill-fitting Small.

We’ve added a couple of shows to the calendar since our last update, both of them a ways off yet, in July(a return to John Brown’s) & September(a fest in Huntsville, AL w/ Brother Cane, Lost Hearts, & more), but we’ve got a few other things in the pipeline that could materialize a bit sooner, so keep an eye on our site & socials for additional dates popping up.

We’ve been refreshing the set list for these upcoming engagements, going through our back pages to see what kinda trouble we can face-plant into by reacquainting ourselves with some material that got committed to tape, but never made it to the stage. Once I convinced Matt that a certain chord progression in “Unfound” (from 2018’s ‘Ten & 2’) was actually A to C, rather than the A to B he insisted on playing; repeatedly, we got that one by the horns, and it finally seems to have earned at least a walk-on. “Dirty On The Stereo”, from 2014’s The Die Youngs side-project has shaped up nicely as well, so I think we might continue digging, and see if there are any other overlooked also-rans in our oeuvre. Feel free to fire off suggestions.

OK then, as you were. My dog needs a walk.

Cheers,
 D.
