And so it was that a 5th horseman of the apocalypse was borne of fire and steel.
Let his name be known to the sons of Israel, and let terror grip the hearts and minds of all that behold it:

Schmidt

He's like the 5th Beatle but with better hair.  He's like the 5th wheel on an 18-wheeler.  He's like the 5th person you had sex with when you realized that life might be about more than just having sex with really good looking guys.

Really good looking.

I can't describe how deliriously happy I am to say that Joe Schmidt has joined HotDamn!.  We just played our first show together as a 5 piece and it feels, to me anyway, that this is how it should have been done a long time ago.  I feel complete.

I have also been awake since 3am, after 2 hours of sleep, so I might just be deliriously delirious and we might have been the worst band on stage last night.  But we were there, and you were there, and that means something.

P.S. We're coauthoring a cookbook tentatively named "How to Serve Man".  It's going to be full of... exotic suggestions on how to serve your favorite people.  I'm eagerly awaiting it's publication.  We even got Johnathan Swift to do an introduction.  Lunch.
