Howdy HOYNE Fans! (i.e., drinkers, lovers and dirty birds),so

Thanks so much to all our fans that made it to our Underground Lounge show on June 19th 2008. We've been tryin' to refresh the mailinglist so we can update you on an 'offical' EP release date and free stuff from time to time.

We've been taking this past year to rest up, let our livers recover a bit and polish up our EP that we've been sittin' on. We're hoping to have something from the Jameson Sessions released on a Compilation Album this decade. Stay tuned for that.
 
...meanwhile, e-mail us at: hoyne123@yahoo.com and we'll add ya to the mailinglist.

Word has it that some of us will be jammin' with members of some other local bands this summer. more on that soon

Back in 2004, we recorded " What's Wrong..." , our 3-4 song EP which was handed out to fans at live shows and used in our promo kit to get gigs. Two songs on the disc were only live rehersals of  "Piggies" and it's heavy instrumental intro "Big Bad". "Move On" and "Happy Stalker" have been the only tracked and processed songs since then.

Thanks to our hero, Joel Hoover (and a bottle of Jameson), we are putting some final touches on our newest EP. We've recorded 6 songs at the end of May 2008,  and are hoping to get a sneek peek CD out in time for our show on JUNE 19th.

M.R. Hoyne, Guy Grace and Dangerous D. are back JUNE 19th @ UNDERGROUND LOUNGE with THE MOSES GUN 8pm sharp!

Baseball is boring. 

Anthony Salazar took his place in the world of rock and roll madness just before new years day 1966. He grew up as we all did, pushed pulled, shaped and schooled by the infinite possiblities of a life in music. His Midwestern upbringing developed in him an exquisite taste for the best of real rock and roll that was to inform his singular creations upon his arrival on the Chicago music scence. Like all of us, he worked shitty dead-end jobs for little pay and less respect, all the time living, loving, writing, recording, and playing at Chicago venues like Innertown Pub, Mutiny, Hog Head McDunna's, Birds Nest, SchizoClub, BarVertigo, and Mollys.
2004 brought this tireless troubadour triumph and tragedy. Loads of gigging and recording were balanced with a new resposiblity that of his first born son, Alexei. Late in
The year, Anthony suddenly collapsed while on his way home from a show. An AVM had burst, without warning, deep in his brain, sending him into a weeklong coma. In an painful yearlong recovery, Anthony not only resumed caring for his beautiful young boy but had undertaken a full calendar of gigging and recording, even giving guitar lessons to many young kids in the western suburbs. In may of 2005, his vital music was forever silenced by a final, fatal, rupture of his AVM. He died with his boots on as the saying goes, while teaching our next generation of rock gods the chords to yet another beloved Clash song. One needs no greater symbolic illustration of a musical life well lived.

Please help us remember and celebrate the life and work of one of our own, Anthony Salazar, on Sunday,25 June at Darkroom Chicago at 6pm. Copies of his posthumous collection entitled original twin will be available . Suggested door donation will be $6 all proceeds being split into a trust fund for Alexei and a program that supports Autism Research ( a disease that Alexei suffers from ). Food, Games, and 10 of Chicagos best performers will be on hand to create the kind of party that Anthony was famous for indulging.
