Okay....Maybe we were too easy on them last time....but we really thought The Big City Honky Tonk, held by the forehead at arm's length, would flail helplessly and harmlessly to exhaustion like so many kid brothers. Overwhelming force just seemed unnecessary, because no matter how hard she kicks you in the shin, how tough are you really if you can beat up a girl scout? Or even a troop of girl scouts? Wearing western cut shirts? Led by a ballerina?


You'll find out exactly how tough, because a certain troop of girl scouts led by a ballerina, etc, have displayed a surprising amount of temerity crawling back from their Capitol City mire just begging for another beat down, courtesy of yours truly, Lumberhorn, this Friday at Kochanski's utilizing Andy's patented dueling stage format for maximum hillbilly music enjoyment.


Lumberhorn vs. Pupy Costello & the Big City Honky Tonk

Rest easy, citizens: at this time Vnuk's Lounge is free of all airborne, foodborne and communicable flus, afflictions, maladies and funks, and Big Dave himself has assured me that his eponymous establishment shall remain the last sans-endemic watering hole in all of Cudahy, at least up to the time of the Lumberhorn/ Mountain Sprout show on Tuesday May 12th.


And, if we live long enough, by which I mean survive as a species, we can all go down to Kochanski's Concertina Beer Hall at 38th & Burnham on May 29th where Lumberhorn will once and for all banish Pupy Costello and his Band of One-Fingered Baby Girls to the land of wind and ghosts... And then we can go to IHOP.


Recap:


5/12: Lumberhorn/Mountain Sprout @ Vnuk's

5/29: Lumberhorn/Big City Honky Tonk @ Kochankski's


Things to look forward to:


June: nothing to look forward to


7/11: Lumberhorn @ The Wildlife Refuge, if we have the nerve. Apparently, they have a policy regarding clothes and free beer.

7/14: Lumberhorn @ Humboldt Park: the Chill on the Hill


8/1: Lumberhorn up north. Details forthcoming, put in for your vacation days now.

Nestled snugly between St. Patrick's Day and Spring Break is Easter, and
while we don't fully understand the intricacies of the occasion except that it's
like the first (third?) Star Wars movie, only Chewbacca hides eggs and there was
never any sexual tension between Jesus and his sister, Lumberhorn's putting on a
little show this Saturday the 11th at the Wildlife Refuge to cash in on the
pentecostal moveable feastiality.

You'll want to get there early becauseto open the show, Jeffro's Kabuki Theatre troupe will re-enact the Stations of theCross in the parking lot at sunset.

Lumberhorn! Live!

You have to admit it was a pretty huge night for Lumberhorn on Sunday, going home with nine Oscars including "Best Hillbilly Band Who Saw an Indian Movie" for Jeffro's viewing of Slumdog Millionaire at the Kansasville Talking
Picture Palace the other week, and the award for previously exploiting the posthumus Heath Ledger situation on our latest CD. Wrap that up with Milk and make your own joke if you like.The point of this is simply that I know it's been
a long time since I rapped at you, hombres, and Lumberhorn's got some stuff in the pipeline:

1) March 1st: There's another Beefsteak Dinner at Mr. B's this Sunday
March 1st
which involves a plucky Boy Howdy playing solo banjo for wealthy carnivores
for 3 hours. But they have a bar and half price bottles of wine on Sunday if you're
morbidly curious.

2) The rest of March: In like a sot, out like a tippler,
Lumberhorn gets stupid Irish in March. Just not together. Look for Athas, MacTavish or any number of other semi-celt aggregations to whom Lumberhorn services are lent for the reinforcin' o' the stereotypes. www.myspace.com/athas

3) April 11th: Ah, the Wildlife Refuge.
I don't have to sell this show to anyone whose been to the last, what, thousand?
What happens in Kansasville, friends, stays in Kansasville, probably in jail on
some archaic blue law charge. Seriously, if two adult...uh, technically we're not
supposed to discuss it before the trial.

4) May 12th: Vnuk's with Mountain
Sprout. We jumped up and down and screamed like school girls when Big Dave Vnuk axed us to open this show. I know it's a Tuesday, but don't be a sissy. If you keep on bein' a sissy, the good bands will only ever come through Milwaukee on Tuesdays.

5) May 29th: THE REMATCH. Puppy Cornwallis and the Hello Kitty Honky Tonk versus The Almighty Lumberhorn at Kochanski's. Veronica declared a tie last time, so it's back on. Damn. If you missed the last Hillbilly Armageddon, just pretend like you were there at this one. Here's some details you can share so the super fans believe you:

a) Lumberhorn played "Cudahy Traveller" for the first time since it was banned
by the Racine County National Guard and Chamber of Commerce

b) Pupy Costello's dress blew up a la Marilyn Monroe while they played Muskrat Love.

c) Jesus Christ himself came down and played harmonica on "Sweet Home Chicago" during the all-band finale.

see you soon!

love,
Lumberhorn

Lumberhorn visits Lake Effect

Current mood:  voluminous

Friends O'Horn,

Last night we had the honor and privelege of visiting
the WUWM studios to record a few tunes for the Christmas day broadcast of
the Lake Effect program (weekedays at 11am & 11pm), which fit right
in with our mission of making spirits bright, not just around the holidays, but
all year, friends, all year. And, if we managed to clear the mid- range
entertainment bar set by the Car Talk guys, they're going to run a little story
about us in January sometime. Or maybe they say that to all the hillbilly bands.

And
to further exploit the resources of community supported broadcast media, we'll be
paying a visit to Jonny Z's Chicken Shack on WMSE on Friday morning to spin the
new record on the air for the first time and plug the release show at Linnemans.
Then we'll have a cocktail with lunch. It'll be lovely.

The elephant in this
room, of course, is the winter weather advisory that on Wednesday threatened
24 feet of snow to fall at 1001 E. Locust Street at precisely the time Lumberhorn
would take the stage. Don't worry, though, Jeffro has arranged for his team of champion
greyhounds to ferry about Lumberhorn fans and other comers safely and comfortably,
Iditarod style, beginning at 3 pm tomorrow.

love,

Lumberhorn

Dearest Lumberhorn Fans,

It's no secret how much we at Camp Lumberhorn love Christmas, partly because Jeffro was in fact born at the North Pole, the product of the unholy union of Blitzen and Admiral Peary, but mostly because we love getting stuff. And sometimes there's no other, er, better way, to get stuff than to give stuff, so in the spirit of this syncretic season, we're making available for free your very own e-lectronic download of Lumberhorn's Christmas masterpiece, 18 Wheels to Bethlehem. It's the tale of one long haul trucker's visit to the holy land on the auspicious evening of the savior's birth, and is quite frankly no less or more believable than anything else that happened that night, but is sure to amuse your co-workers and guarantee the success of your holiday party. Plus you'll be as cool as WMSE who has been playing it for a few weeks now, but not nearly as often as baby Jesus deserves, so be sure to call and request it (414-799-1917).

you can get it here at the lumberhorn myspace page:

www.myspace.com/themightylumberhorn

This gift is merely to justify this little reminder that the big CD release party for Nothing Ever Happened is this coming Friday, December 19th at Linneman's Riverwest Inn, with our good friends String 'Em Up, and all we really want for Christmas is for you to come by and say "hi" (after paying a nominal cover charge).

All you have to do is visit the Lumberhorn reverbnation site, thoughtfully linked below the templated salutation for your web browsing convenience, and click in the appropriate place near the words "18 Wheels to Bethlehem"; really, it's so easy that even old people can do it, however BJ would be happy to provide technical support if you need it. That offer is only good for old people, though, if he is to satisfy the terms of his probation.

This gift is merely to justify this little reminder that the big CD release party for Nothing Ever Happened is this coming Friday, December 19th at Linneman's Riverwest Inn, with our good friends String 'Em Up, and all we really want for Christmas is for you to come by and say "hi" (after paying a nominal cover charge).
