T-Shirts…the new underwear?

Before we get started, a quick piece of advice from Bear Lake to your hastily-reading face. If you’re ever in a big city, say Chicago for example, and a man wearing nothing but a t-shirt around his waist (exposing his bare ass) asks for a cigarette, just say no. Our friend Jesse would have loved to have been informed of the aforementioned knowledge prior to the night of our most recent show at the Double Door in Chicago. Maybe we’re making a mountain out of a molehill here, but after bumming this man a smoke Jesse’s hand was viciously raped in an attempt to steady the lighter as the hobo also needed one of those. (no pockets in T-shirts) It was later that the loin cloth wearing man informed us that he was an American doing American things in the Alley. I think the translation on this is that he was having sex with another hobo. The touch combined with this story led to Jesse washing his hands as if were about to perform life threatening surgery. And then the Magic Show began…not the Bear Lake show, but another hobo performing wonderful Magic Tricks, this was much more entertaining…and hygienic.

Most of these things happened post show. The show itself went well. The sound was great, we had a nice turnout (Thanks to all who came and partied!), and we met some really cool bands as well. We shared the stage with a great band out of Mexico City named, Sour Soul. If you have not heard of them, you should check them out (I think we are going to talk them into coming to Michigan to do another show with us); Their band kicked ass, and they were some of the nicest guys we have shared a bill with. We also shared the bill with Jeremy Thornton and his band, and J.W. Basilo (a great spoken word artist from Chicago). Jeremy Thornton is out of Atlanta and is also well worth checking out (They also happen to be extremely nice, down to Earth people; it seemed to be a theme of the night).

We’re all looking forward to our next big release show at the Magic Bag in Ferndale. It’s on Saturday the 21st and you should come out. We can’t stress this enough: Come to the Magic Bag on May 21st!! Also want to send a booya to Fearless Radio for being kickass. The interview was great and we all enjoyed it thoroughly.
