first of all, thank you to everyone who came out to see us in cincy, urbana, and chicago. we had a great weekend. to recap:
thursday 1/26---we had a fantastic time at woxy.com with shiv, mike, brian, etc. visit them here
www.woxy.com and check out the podcast of our show, and find out about mark's true musical inspiration.
we followed that up with a visit to alchemize with labelmates
sundayrunners and cincy's very own turnbull ac's. puck was our ever gracious host, and no one was tazed (or is it tazered?) this time, which was nice. the next day justin and i watched carnival of souls. it was a true bonding moment as we shared our love of horror movies.
friday 1/27---we played our maiden show in the quaint town of urbana IL at the iron post. we arrived to find a packed house at 8:00, which was very nice. and they gave us free beer, which was also nice. they were all there to see a different band, but those who stayed are forever endeared to us. forever.
saturday 1/28---we arrived in the windy city and were greeted with...wind. and rain. we braved the elements to play the flagship tower records store on clark street. we had a great time watching customers browse as they listened to our record playing over the store p.a. special thanks to our wonderful host miguel and the entire staff.
then it was off to our favorite club in chicago,
the hideout, once again with our labelmates sundayrunners. another wonderful crowd, and a good time was had by all, especially the birthday boy eric. special thanks to our sure-handed barkeep nat, and soundman mike. we also got to see hot new stand-up comic sculpturehead, which was a real treat.
all in all, a fabulous weekend for the apparitions. we'll be on the road again this weekend to charleston wv, morgantown wv, and washington d.c. stop by and say hello if you can.
cheers,
robbie
