Friends/fans, we (Roommate) will play our first full-band show in
many months next Monday at the Empty Bottle. As is customary on Monday nights at said venue, the show is FREE.

Joining us on the bill are Chandeliers (who will be celebrating the release of their Dirty Moves LPand DRMWPN (pronounced "dreamweapon").

We wholeheartedly endorse the music of these ensembles--this lineup was carefully crafted to provide the absolute maximum in auditory pleasure to those in attendance. We will play several brand-new slow jams and a few other songs from our album-in-progress GUILTY RAINBOW plus a back-catalog gem or two. I expect that Chandeliers will light a raging yet carbon-neutral fire on the dance floor, and that DRMWPN will transport you to a mysterious, euphoric dimension of pulsating sound, a dimension that can only be conjured on a stage packed with approximately 15 of Chicago's most righteous instrumentalists.

You might be aware that the amazing Red Red Meat are playing a free show at Millennium Park's beautiful Pritzger Pavilion the very same night. As friends and fans of Red Red Meat and its ilk, it pains us to know that we will miss their show in order to prepare for ours. It also concerns us that our friends/fans might think that they have to miss our set in order to see that of Red Red Meat--we are playing first, after all. However, the Empty Bottle will allow us to start around 9:45--Red Red Meat should be done by 9:30, leaving a solid 30 minutes for you to get from downtown to the Empty Bottle to catch the last two thirds of our set.  Should you choose to undertake such a journey via bicycle, please do not hurry or take unnecessary risks! Chicago drivers often ignore or violate the right-of-way of bicyclists--I know this from personal experience.

Many of you do not live anywhere near Chicago, but you are receiving this message in case you have friends in the area who might wish to know about a spectacular FREE music show of this nature.

Announcements of other Roommate-related developments will be coming soon. Thank you for your time.

Warmest regards,

Kent Lambert
