Hello. What's been up with The Great Crusades? Lots!

We are still hard at work on our seventh studio album, which will be
released later this year if all goes to plan. Photos, sneak peeks, and
video to come soon.


We also wanted to drop you a line to let you know that we will be playing
three shows next week. We will be playing some
new songs and some older
songs, or "crowd pleasers," as Brian Krumm's dad calls them. Our
friends from Germany, Planeausters, will be joining us at all three
shows as part of their first tour of the U.S. Here are some upcoming key events:


On Wednesday, April 29, at 6 p.m. Central Standard Time, Krumm will make
an appearance on
Fearless Radio to play a couple new tunes and maybe some live numbers. Tune in:

On Thursday, April 30, we will be playing an "early" show at the Bottom Lounge, 1375
W. Lake Street in
Chicago. Planeausters will start at 8 p.m. and we
will be on around 9 p.m. Immediately after us, the
Norwood Park
All-Stars and Vendooza, both from Chicago, will take the stage. It's
gonna be a great night!

On Friday, May 1, we return to Mike 'n' Molly's in Champaign, Illiniois,
one of our favorite towns to spend rowdy nights and reminisce about
"the old days." The three Brians used to call Champaign-Urbana home,
and Moder visited them quite a bit back in the day. Mike 'n' Molly's is
located at 105 N Market Street in downtown
Champaign.

On Saturday, May 2, it's time to stagger in and stagger out at the
legendary, "acoustically perfect" Stagger Inn Again in
Edwardsville,
Illinois
. Stagger is located at 104 E Vandalia Street in downtown
Edwardsville. Edwardsville is just a stone's throw away from the
childhood home of Moder, Hunt, and Krumm,
Collinsville, Illinois, which
just in case you were wondering is the "horseradish capital of the
world."

On Friday, May 15, Krumm and Leach will be playing an opening acoustic
set as part of the CD release party for the Chicago band The
Somersault Factory. The party will be at the Gallery Cabaret, 2020 N Oakley in Chicago.
