so i bite the bullet, stop bumping the "book band in xyz" topic, and voila:

my band / one-man-plus-indie-rock-project - sfu*ma*to - is touring from the MidWest to the West West these days (now til circa mid-November). if you have any suggestions/feedback and/or want to throw a house show, please let me know.

this is how it looks so far:

9.13. - 9.15.06 sitting in Chicago waiting for a show(s) to play
9.16.06 Paradigm Coffeeshop, Sheboygan WI
9.19.06 Cesspool Castle, Joplin MO w/ Constants
9.20.06 EWL House, Wonder Lake IL
9.21.06 Lee's Palace, Toronto ON
9.22.06 the Greyhound bus from Toronto to Thunder Bay
9.23.06 Apollo Bar, Thunder Bay ON
9.27.06 The Backroom, Houghton MI
9.28.06 House of Muses, Marquette MI
9.29.06 The Corktown Tavern, Detroit MI
9.30.06 Diamond Star, Kalamazoo MI
10.11.06 Practice Space, Ames IA w/ Thanksgiving
10.13.06 all ages club (unconfirmed), Fort Campbell KY
10.28.06 The Merkin, Hays KS

The Picador (ex-Gabe's Oasis) says that 10 October is possible with a solid bill - anyone know of a band with some draw who could play that night in Iowa City?

if any of you fellow musicians dig our music - http://poofish.com/pmr/sfumato - and are in a position to tour (even if it's only for a show or 2) and would be interested in contributing some drums or bass or cello or another geetar or more vocals, let me know. (i have 4 friends spread from Montreal to Arizona to L.A. who claim they're up for some touring, but the proof is not yet in hand so to speak.)

cheers, muchos gracias, ****lars

b to the u to the m to the p (feels strangely auto-erotic, bumping yrself)

hmm. what to do. it's now almost the 15th, so so much for finding a Thursday show. a Friday one would be brilliant though...

thanks to Tim & Andy & Brian & Chris of Bottomless Pit for a great set Wednesday, and The Cape May & Nina N. for not sounding too shabby themselves. some seriously good people were there, be they electrical or analogue. thanks Chicago.

now come tour with me ye rockers!

I could possibly fit you in for an Oct. 12 date in St. Louis, but your schedule looks a little tight.

hey Nihil!

cheers. i just checked the Greyhound schedules, and i could get from Ames to St. Louis & then St. Louis to Kentucky in time for the shows, so that would work for me. muchos gracias! (i was talking to Off Broadway about playing & i don't know what happened to them.)

let me know...
