Hey world of Kentland! SPIV here!
Sending out a quick blog from the bowels of the Kentland rock and roll machine. I've been in Madison, WI the last few days, mixing some fine rock and roll - take a breath - The first new music to come out of the Simple Simon camp in 10 long years!!
Exciting times, indeed!
On the books, to look forward to: Simple Simon has a couple of 2010 shows: a nice warm-up jam @ the comfy confines of Chicago's Elbo Room on Fri. Jan 8, 2010, then - bringing out the big guns at House Of Blues, Chicago on Sat, Feb 13, with their good friends, the Lovehammers. ...You'll want to get your tickets in advance...
Where the hell is the FROSTING record already? Let's just say there's been some kinks in the fabric, all of which the super hot Kentland Iron has pressed right back into those big pants. So, the release date has been pushed back - look for spring, 2010. Of course - details to follow..
In the meantime, there are always scattered members of the Kentland family sweating it out in the sometimes mundane, sometimes seen as "taboo" restaurant/bar/cover music scene. Nonetheless, it entertaining as all hell.
