Hey all,
Some new demos have been put up on the myspace page.  We'd love to know what you think.  Also, we'll be playing a couple shows with the Figgs this weekend (sunday all ages in green bay @ the Eagles Club 1pm/ Monday at the BFG in Appleton 2pm) and at those shows we'll have some new shirts if you are interested in being our own personal walking billboard. 
Hope to see some old friends at the figgs shows.  Lots of other great bands are playing (tenement, beach patrol, etc.) and as always, thanks for listening.
love,
ts & the mm.

Hey all, we hope you've had a lovely summer and are having a beautiful fall.  Everyone here at TS and the Middlemen have been keeping themselves pretty busy.  Tim has been filling in on drums for the Fox Valley punk/pop band, Tenement (www.myspace.com/tenementwi) which features Middleman, Amos Pitsch on guitar and vocals.  They did a tour of the east coast in August and have been showing up sporradically in the fox valley so far this fall.

The Middlemen have also welcomed their friend Michael Zink (www.myspace.com/nuggetsfancy) of Mystery Girls fame (www.myspace.com/themysterygirls) to the band.  Over the summer lull, we've been working on lots of new stuff with him and hope that you like what we've come up with.  If you still need your Tyler Ditter fix then head on over to http://www.myspace.com/cartwalkers and say hi.

We've been in the process of demoing all the new tunes we have (in one way or another) for the last year and will hopefully be able to start sessioning proper by winters end.  Until then, you can anticipate a new release of either live recordings or new demos by the end of the year and hopefully some new merch too.  We've all got lots of projects going on so we will try to give you as much Middlemen as your heart desires.  As always, you can still buy "schwim tiger" at our shows, in your local neighborhood indie record store (in wisconsin: Exclusive Co., Atomic Records, B-side Records, Rushmore Records, etc.) or online at iTunes, Amazon.com, CDBaby.com and Digstation.com to name a few.

We appreciate all the support (especially with helping Tim find his guitars!) and we thank you for listening.  Take care and Happy Halloween!

Hey, as you may or may not know, we did a in studio radio performance for the milwaukee station WMSE 91.7 and posted the songs and pics from that session.  Hopefully there will be some video of that soon as well. 

Here is a nice review of schwim tiger if you need some bathroom reading

Also, my old friend and bandmate, Justin Perkins, is putting out an album.  You can go here  and listen to a song off of it.

There will be lots more news soon.  Thanks for listening.

Hey all, I just put up some new photos of recent (and not so recent) middlemen shows.  They were taken the Ashley Nicole.  Hopefully there will be more to put up very soon.  Enjoy

Also, the production of the new album (entitled "schwim tiger") is right on schedule.  The album is off to press and will be out DEC 18.  It will be available in independent music stores throughout Wisconsin (Exclusive Companies/Atomic Records/etc) and will also be available online (itunes, amazon.com, napster, etc).  I'll post the online release date as soon as it's settled.
