bump, see you guys there whoever's coming

STNNNG is doing a little jaunt down to SXSW which will hopefully include shows in Wichita & Denton, TX, but for now, the only thing confirmed at this point is an unofficial afternoon show on Friday, March 14th, somewhere in Austin. More info coming, obviously.

Otherwise, we've got these shows out of town:

Friday, April 4th @ House of Rock in Eau Claire, WI w/ Drunk Drivers.
Saturday, April 5th @ Empty Bottle in Chicago, IL w/ Pissed Jeans & The Catburglars.

the Chrome Robes are playing one show in the next several months as we're working on new songs and recording a new album. but the one show is now set up, so yay and stuff.

Saturday, March 1st, at Cal's
The Chrome Robes
Barn Owl (Columbia, MO)
Prize Wolf (Columbia, MO)
Geva Alon (Tel Aviv/ New York)

we'll probably have a couple/few copies of our demo EP for sale. i'm sure everybody will be gettin sauced pretty good, cause Cal's is nice like that.

Bump! Forgot to mention the Lee Rays are playing (ex returnables) Premier rock forum!

TOMORROW.
FREE.
Our (Sailors) first gig in London for 16 months:

January 26 @ Notting Hill Arts Club
DiScover Club featuring:
Johnny Foreigner
Sailors
Yeborobo
Super Tennis

Doors: 4pm-8pm (over-18s only)
Tickets: FREE ENTRY



Johnny Foreigner are three young souls blazing out of Birmingham with Tim Kinsella’s jazziest riffs under one arm and Blur’s early-doors immediacy wrapped about their waists; expect their tour support slot with Los Campesinos! to triple-or-more their fan base in February, making this show a soon-to-be-rare opportunity to catch them up close and as personal as you like.

Sailors, hailing from north of Watford but south of Glasgow, create a punk racket comparable to the likes of The Fall and Ten Grand – it grinds and winds, but never loses focus, as their recent EP for Gringo proved.

Yeborobo, members of the Mentalist Association, are a live act best left outline-less in a preview piece; words would only cloud an opinion that shouldn’t form ‘til the day.

Super Tennis’ five-track EP of last year attracted comparisons to Owls and The Promise Ring, making them a perfect act to open for a Johnny Foreigner-headlined bill.

TIMES:
DOORS @ 4pm
SUPER TENNIS @ 4.45
YEBOROBO @ 5.30
SAILORS @ 6.15
JOHNNY FOREIGNER @ 7.00
CLOSE @ 8.00

Wish I could go to this Jon. Have you ever played RoTa before? It's always a good laugh, and then you can go out in the evening afterwards - so sensual.

We've never played there before, nope. I think we're driving back to toon afterwards which sucks. One of the early gigs we did in london was a daytime show followed by Kings Cross drinking afterwards which was great / sensual.

Your email to me of yesterday will be a topic of conversation in the car tonight so I'll respond on Sunday / Monday.
