We saw many new faces and met a lot of wonderful people last night.  But alas, our patented brand of musical skull-duggery was not enough, and so we did not win the competition.  We however did receive many high praises, and found out later that night that by far and wide we received the highest ratings from the three judges (69 of 75 points, the nearest band got only 39 points).  We welcomed that news as a worthy consolation prize.     

A tip of our collective hat to the Chicago Noise Machine for putting on a nearly seamless show, and thank to all the bands and their fans, and our fans, for graciously sticking around till 11PM to catch our show.  Thanks to anyone who saw that show and voted for through the interweb.

As far as I've heard, no one broke any limbs after either of our shows at Ribco or Lumpy's so I would not be jumping the gun by saying that the curse has been broken.  To our friends, our fams, our fans, and the bands (or any combination thereof), thank you for making it out to these two memorable shows.  We've already secured our next gig, its going to be at the Redstone Room, Saturday March 29th at 9:00pm, alongside side our friends, local rockers Head Held High, as well as Burnt Ends, who hail from Muscatine, Iowa.  Hope to see you all next time.

P.S. check out the pictures from the show.

If you thought Led Zeppelin reuniting after 19 years was a big deal, just wait 'til you see Roadless after a three month hiatus.  In that time we've gone through marriage, divorce, self revelation, hair cuts, and cigarette butts.  New tracks include the songs "When your right, your wrong" and "Buena Vista Shit House." 

Noel's arm is almost out of it's harness.  The table has been set.  The feast begins in early February.  Come celebrate with us, won't you?  Details to be added later...

Dix Donovan, roadhead extraordinar

as some of u guys know, and the many that dont, i broke my arm on saturday. in an incredible showmanship of bravery, i saved a young girls life by throwing her out of the way of a train.  the train hit me, but since im so manly it only broke my arm.  thats my story.  anyway the doc says i cant play guitar for at least 6 weeks.  this sucks.  but there is light at the end of this tunnel.  i know john and rich have both been working on some new and tasty licks. this will give them plenty of time 2 bring their new babies to sorensen so he can work his magic.  so hopefully the next time we play live, we will have so new roadless singles for u guys.  i want to appologize to the fans and my fellow bandmates for not being able to play.  and mostly i want to appologize to u.  u have just wasted a good amount of time reading this shitty blog. sorry.
