What up! A big thanks to all the peeps that made it out on the 17th to Gonzo's. It was really cool to play for so many folks that we haven't seen in awhile. We really had a good time and we sincerely hope that everyone that was there did as well. We'll definitely be making a return trip soon and will keep you all posted. We also wanted to give you a head's up on a couple shows next week: First off, we'll be playing a short set next Thursday, July 29th, at Merlin's. We'll be going on right at 10:00 pm and playing until 11:30 pm. Arrested Development will be rocking the Square that night so this will be the perfect stop on your way home from hanging with Mr. Wendel. If you are really out to party down, Thick Rich Lather, an Amherst, New York power trio, will be hitting the stage about midnight. For those not in the know, Merlin's is located at 727 Elmwood Ave. in Buffalo (716-886-9270). Secondly, we'll be taking part in a very special benefit next Friday, July 30th, with a bunch of other local favorites. If you don't know already, the good people at Fog City in Lockport have packed up and moved shop. All proceeds from the benefit next Friday night will go towards defraying the costs associated with their move and preparing a new shop. The benefit will be held at The Bird's Nest (formerly Duff's) on Niagara St. in Lockport. Food will be provided but this is a Bring Your Own Beer type of party so come prepared. There will be a chinese auction as well. The donation at the door is $15. Kosmic should be performing in the 10pm or 11pm slot. Other bands include Clustafunk, The New 44's, and many more from the shop and around town. As soon as we have some more info we'll send it your way but be sure to mark your calendars now. Lastly, in our last email we advertised that some new "Extras" had been added to our website. Unfortunately, our webmaster was smoking a bit too much that week and they weren't working correctly. They are now, however, up and running and are pretty cool to mess with. Please, feel free to drop by the site and check them out. Thanks for your support!
