Thanks for the request... normally I get 5 seconds into a myspace listen and roll my eyes in boredom! I listened to the songs several times and enjoyed them a lot! I especially like Revolution and Shipwreck though F&M would gladly go with you to your cousin Angies wedding! (great line!) Keep up the great work and know that you have new fans in Canada!
EZ - I miss ya! If I ever step foot out of Minni again, I'll come to the Windy City and we can regale each other with songs of deep and perverse meaning.
I'm playing in Chicago this Fri. and Sat. at 9:30, at Athenaeum Theater. 2936 N. Southport - it's a cool building. $10 With Jenny Magnus, amazing performer, musician, songwriter formerly of Maestro Subgum and the Whole and often of Curious Theater etc. It'll be a really good show. I open with a solo set after the Rhino Fest theater performances earlier that evening.
hey eric, i never got a chance to thank you for playing the other weekend, it turned out well from what i thought it was going to be. hope you'll come out to the bottle this weekend too! let me know what you've got planned.
