   About Sketch Middle
Sketch Middle, lifelong friends from Chicago's western suburbs, formed in the winter of 1997. While most 17 year olds were studying for finals and going to football practice, these fine young gentlemen were playing 21+ shows in Chicago's finest clubs and colleges all across the Midwest. In 1999 the rock trio released the full length underground gem "Time Capsule." The album was produced by The Shoes very own Jeff Murphy. (Material Issue) The record sold over 2500 copies and was in rotation at many Top 40 stations across the country. The bands music was featured on The Disney Channel, WXRT and ESPN Radio 1000 in Chicago. After a developmental deal fell through that would have moved the Chicagoans to London, England in 2001, they were discovered by Gin Blossoms guitarist Jesse Valenzuela. The Grammy nominated artist sent the material to veteran producer Michael Vail Blum (Madonna, Pink Floyd, Goo Goo Dolls) and the guys spent a major portion of 2004 going between Los Angeles and Chicago working out pre-production arrangements. In the summer of 2005 Sketch Middle was finally ready to show the world what they've been up to the last few years. 13 songs of straight up rock & roll. The new full length has a little something for everyone. It offers a hard-modern-rock style but has some less aggressive alternative country songs as well. You can catch the hard partying trio this summer on tour with themselves serving as Ted Ansani's back up band and hard partying friends Bound to Change. Sketch Middle has performed with national acts such as The Psychedelic Furs, Midtown,Swizzle Tree, Lucky Boys Confusion, Michael McDermott, Fallout Boy and Divide by Zero.

I just wanted to say without Sketch Middle, I might not be here now. You're lyrics helped me get through my long battle with depression and made me realize the beautiful things in life. I know I am a dude and this may sound feminine, but I fucking love this band. The fact that you have been a band, even local, independent, for that matter, you have stayed together for like 10 years and never quit! Keep this band alive forever!

Ok I know this is hard to believe but you remember seeing that message and bulliten a little while ago about the peniz pills to make it bigger? Well.... Just like you I am sure, thought it was funny and a joke, but today I find out that my own brother Aaron has been taking the pills since he heard about them on myspace and yes, they actually did work on him, he hooked me up with some and its been 2 weeks now already see a big difference and I ordered nine more bottles from YMBOB.COM
Yes My brother is living proof that they do work, he never used to get girls, now since a few months he is all popular with the girls in his class and work too. They made his saussage grow a full 3 inches in hardly any time, they really work fast on any guy.
If you order some now from YMBOB.com you will even get a full money back guarentee, so don't worry about them not working on you as well as they did on my bro and starting to on me as well.Tell them I sent you as a friend if they ask Just copy and paste this address into your browser and hook yourself up today YMBOB.COM
