   About varsity drag
Don't you just hate "band bios?" So do we. But here's a stab at one:

There was once this guy, Ben Deily...he started a band called the Lemonheads with his friend Evan, but eventually left to go back to college and pretend to be an "adult."

But he kept on writing songs. And playing 'em with his friends. And so, blah blah blah, folks hung out, beverages was consumed, instruments were manhandled, recordings were made. Europe was, surprisingly, toured.

Hell, make up your own damn history. It'll probably be more interesting. We'll even help get you started: "Once upon a time...a man woke up covered in vomit and schnapps in an Arkansas police station. It was only then that he realized he was missing his..."

You get the idea. Hey, have fun with it.

Any chance of you guys opening for the Lemonheads at the Beachcomber? NYC is just too long of a drive, especially on a work night.

Attention, crimefighters: Killer Abs at the Midway tomorrow (as in Fri) night! The Young Tremors will open it up with some sweet soul sugar. We're up next to dazzle you with enthusiastic mediocrity! Then Jay Allen & the Archcriminals will make you forget you're a man. Batting clean-up are the Fighting Cocks, and they can damn sure fight their way out of a paper bag, at least.
