If you recall we played a bunch of shows this past summer. We'd like to thank everyone how helped us out with shows and places to stay.

Click on the venue to see pictures

7/22/06 - Woodstock, IL @ The White House
(MIA: Ben)
Ben wasn't back from Washington yet so we played the show without him. It turned out pretty good me (Johnny) and Brandon we planning on singing the songs but we didn't need to, for almost every song someone jumped on the mic and helped out.
Thanks to: Trike, Alleyway Sex and everyone else at The White House that night who helped sing our songs.

8/06/06 - Lemont, IL @ Stage 83
(MIA: Katie)

8/10/06 - Cleveland, OH @ The Church
(MIA: Mikey and Katie)
Our first out of state show ever. It was with The Mad Conductor. We played 2nd (and sounded pretty bad after driving all day). It was fun.
Thanks to: Manda who set up the show and helped us out with gas money.

8/11/06 - Roseville, MI @ The My Space Internet Cafe
(MIA: Mikey and Katie)
This show was a disaster and it was fun as hell. We opened for Chinese Happy and 4 hardcore bands. They hated us - in the middle of our 3rd song the PA was turned off. We then went on to play one more song with Ben in the crowd singing to people. We were then threatened with violence and forced to leave the building.
Thanks to: Chinese Happy for giving us a place to stay 2 nights in a row.

8/13/06 - Lemont, IL @ Stage 83
(Full Band)
It was a show with a lot of bands and no fans.

8/13/06 - Chicago, IL @ The Waiting Room
(Full Band)
After the show in Lemont we drove right to this show. We actually opened the show but it was not a big deal. It was a lot of fun - we played with: Trike, '72 Dolphins, NSP and The Mad Conductor.
Thanks to: Chicago Punk Shows Collective for running an all ages venue.

8/14/06 - Inverness, IL @ Alison's Basement
(MIA: Curtis and Katie)
Another show with The Mad Conductor - it turned out to be fun. Mikey ended up playing on the celling and making a few holes.
Thanks to: Alison's Parents and everyone who came to the show.

8/18/06 St. Cloud, MN @ The Playaz Lounge (tour w/ Trike)
(MIA: Curtis, Katie and Mikey)
Thanks to: The Playaz Lounge, Dan-O and his mom for feeding us and letting all 9 of us sleep at your house, Bill Cosby Murder Project, and the other bands that played

8/19/06 Hartford, WI @ The Underground Saloon (tour w/ Trike)
(MIA: Curtis, Katie and Mikey)
This place was a little bar - we were all worried it wasn't going to go very well but it turned out to be really fun. sorry for it being 21+
Thanks to: Living Dred for the good time and letting us crash at your place.

8/20/06 Manitowoc, WI @ Kenny B's (tour w/ Trike)
(MIA: Curtis, Katie and Mikey)
Another bar, this time it was all ages. There was a crack house next door and some really funny arguments happened. Ben walked around town to mail a postcard and was interrogated by the police because he was taking pictures of the dam. He was apparently a threat to Homeland Security.
Thanks to: Living Dred again for getting us these two shows.

8/25/06 Champaign, IL @ Greg and Amanda's Basement
(MIA: Katie)
The McKinley didn't work out but the show was even better because it was a house show - we all had a really good time.
Thanks to: Chinese Happy for coming, Alleyway Sex, Greg and Amanda for letting us play your basement, and everyone there for making it the best show of the tour.

Wow, I wish I knew you guys were coming to Detroit.  Or better yet have heard of you guys when you came to Detroit....


I'm sure you guys learned your lesson, but for reiteration's sake, what did you expect to happen when you went to a venue called MYSPACE CAFE?  If there's a next time, talk to Attack of the... and they can set up a nice fun show.

Greg and Amanda's basement was the best show of tour.  I just wish we didn't have to leave before Alleyway Sex.  We did drive Aaron practically straight to work though.  It was crazy.

We'll see ya next time you come to town....
