A giant thank you to all that came out for the release show, you made our night!  All in all, I would say it was one of the most fun shows we've played.  More big ups to OFB and the Penthouse Sweets for kicking everyone's ass.  ...and my hand is healing nicely.

The next day I was at the space working on new tunes.  Why wait, right?  Might be taking a little time off, but MILE HIGH KARATE will probably be playing something soon. 

In case you missed it, here is some unexpected flattery from Monica Kendrick at the Reader.  Take care, we love you!

GETOUTS I love a band that can evoke the comforts of a greasy spoon in music, and this local quartet is among the few to nail it. The house speciality is guitar—bluesy guitar, boogie guitar, slide-y guitar, Keef-y guitar, and Skynyrdyffyc guitar, all chopped up and cooked in a steaming omelet with a side of sausage and a slop of hot sauce. But that's not all there is to eat: singer-guitarist Andy Matzdorf (the group's only constant member) has a little Jeffrey Lee Pierce in him and an accent swiped from one of the Van Zant brothers. Tonight the Getouts celebrate their 11-track debut, How to Save a Drowning Horse, on their own label, Fort Awesome, named after their rehearsal space and studio. Penthouse Sweets and the Outlaw Family Band open.  9 PM, Empty Bottle, 1035 N. Western, 773-276-3600 or 866-468-3401, $7. —Monica Kendrick
