Well, we are riding this wave into shore with our last 3 shows and remaining clean under garments in tow!!! We're about to hang 10 in Vegas tonite at the Bunkhouse. Excited to return to this club! We had a crazy show there last summer and expect the party people of Vegas to bring it for all of us and St. Pat...
Last nights show at the Metro was epic and loved meeting so many cool people who dug our music! We will return!!

Out of the myste...
The last batch of shows have been cutting us through the American tundra steadly towards our show tonight in Denver.... Saw my ol' pals Josh and Jim from the Anniversary last night in Larryville and finally met Todd from The Faint in Omaha after years of near misses and mutual fondness for the darkwave...

Last nights Empty Bottle show was my first show in Chicago playing my music since the 90's and it was a blast! Thnx to all the ol' frenz and fans who came out... always fun to play a packed club!!!

Land of Dew...
Ohio was a blast and now we push onward into Indiana which most be owned by Mountain Dew because there is a lot of Dew in the truckbstop fridges in these parts! I'm talking A LOT! Playing a club I've heard of for years but never been The Brass Rail in Fort Wayne... It's a true rock n roll club and we are ready to bring it... well our version of it at least.
Tomorrow we head to my home land! See you at the Empty Bottle!!
American Industrial Complex of Ohio...
Driving through the Ohio rust belt for the next few days hitting Cleveland, Columbus, Cincinnati... Beachland Ballroom was a pleasure made extra special by ol' pal Matt Fields running the joint!! The dudes of "New Wave Rave" did a stellar job DJ'ing playing our favorites and some deep cutz! Really dug DJ Dave's 331/3 version of Warm Leatherette... Nice One!
Columbus here we come... We'll be at The Basement tonight... So, get down there!

Thick Myst...
Canada was a blast and found out we were one of the last shows at The Silver Dollar Room as it's closing soon after a long run as one of Torontos go to venues... It was a great show!
Last night we got back at it here in the good ol' USA playing a great new club in Detroit called EL CLUB. We fogged it out so much our dressing room was like a fire safety video! DROP TO THE GROUND and find the nearest exit...,
Heading to Cleveland! See you there...

Darklands Of Texas
Had a great show last night in Houston... Total surprise as I've never been or played there in the past. Good ol darkwave music fans abound... WOMH production manager Bobby showed us good time with a party in the lookout tower that spun into a after hours "80's Goth party" downtown... Well, not so sure how "Goth" or "80's" it was as we were definitely the only 80's goths around! They did play Blue Monday between 2 hip hop tracks of unknown origins and there were a few leather bondage gear people lurking around being bring super out of place next to all the plain janes and baseball cap bobs... Very weird scene... Almost Lynchian.
Til next time Texas! Adios...
