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.

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
