Hey there in the land of ones and zeros!!

Here's hopin' that your 4th of July was a good one. Ours was a crazy one for sure! Friday night started out our weekend at the Popcorn Tavern with the San Francisco band Antioquia, and a great night was had by all! It's always nice to come back to our old stompin grounds in the wonderful city of La Crosse.

We arrived early at the Draught Haus on the 4th of July so we could get set up early and have some dinner. After we ate, we went back to the Draught Haus for a brief sound check. As we cleared the stage after we were done, Eric, our beloved guitarist, rolled his ankle on the side of my cable box, breaking his ankle! After making the decision to send him to the hospital (thanks again, Kirby!!) out thoughts then turned to the show that needed to be played. So, while Eric was being X-Rayed, we were rockin' as a trio (Jack, Reed, and I, a.k.a. HUMPERDINK). We were eventually joined by our horns, Jim, Will and Jeremy and finished out the set. Eric returned with a splint and crutches about ten minutes after the first set was over, and he played out the rest of the night in a chair, switching his pedals with his left foot! In his honor, we all rocked chairs for a few tunes as well. What a trooper!!

Unfortunately, we also found out that Eric will need surgery. It's with regret that we must announce that we are rescheduling our Saturday night show at the Mabel Tainter Theater in Menomonie so stay tuned for updates.
On the other hand, both Rochester shows will be happening. Check us out at Kathy's Pub on Friday from 10 p.m. - 2:00 a.m. and the St. John's Block Party at 1:15 p.m. on the 11th!

Peace, and see you soon!
