Daemon Familiar are a garage-pop trio from Chicago concerned with the lost art of the catchy pop song. Infectious hooks, dense vocal harmonies, and crunchy guitar melodies are their stock in trade. Not since Cheap Trick has a band from Illinois set out to deliver songs so unforgettable they'll be tattooed on your cerebral cortex. Daemon Familiar is currently working on their debut album, due out Spring 2008.

Guitarist/vocalist Pablo Mena has much experience in the power-pop genre as the bass player for Unibrow. This helped hone his skills as a songwriter and his ability to bring the rock. His lyrical dexterity ranges from pining away after girls to breaking up with girls to waxing metaphorically about girls. Pablo's influences include The Police, Jeff Buckley, and Reed Richards of the Fantastic Four.

Drummer/vocalist Wendi Freeman comes to us from a number of years in the Philadelphia punk scene. She slaved as a recording engineer for Chicago Trax, where she escaped her brush with R. Kelly without getting peed on. And, no, her drum kit's not set up wrong, she's just left-handed. Wendi's power-pop ambition is to become the 4th ex-Mrs. Matthew Sweet.

Bass player Brian Ruhe continues his successful run in local cover band Colonel Angus where he's learned the important lesson that anyone will dance to "Livin' on a Prayer". Although he knows playing covers can be a crowd pleaser, it will never match the intensity of churning out the unique riffs of Daemon Familiar. Brian's stage presence is somewhat unique. He prefers sitting onstage, not because he frowns upon your existence, but because he's working with a few replacement parts. You'll have to see it to believe it.

Hi! Just wanted to make sure all my friends know that my new erotic horror novel THE 13TH is now in stores everywhere! I hope you'll check out this debauched and demonic horror ride!

There's even a website devoted just to the book, with an interactive map of the places and characters at www.the13th-horror.com.

Edward Lee called THE 13TH "A double-barreled shotgun blast of macabre entertainment -- an expert amalgamation of grotesquerie, eroticism, mystery, and pitch-black occult horror that no fan of the genre can miss."

And Gary A. Braunbeck said, "John Everson's The 13th is the first out-and-out horror novel in a long while to actually scare the **** out of me while reading it. It's stylish, extremely well-written, filled with richly-drawn characterizations, and boasts a labyrinthine plot worthy of Umberto Eco. Trust me -- this one will fry your nerves and break your heart."

Also - Reggies is running the Rock N' Roll Express BUS from the United Center after the KISS/Buckcherry concert if you happen to be going and need a lift from the show? And we've got a the bus running a BOOZE CRUISE from Groucho's on the South Side that includes FREE BEER!! Anyhow, enough rambling - hit up our page for more info or send us an e-mail!

Cheers!
