Thanks to everyone who came out to Acadia Wednesday night. From the looks of the crowd that showed up, people enjoyed hell of pints and black bean burgers. That gives us a warm fuzzy inside.
FYI, here’s our set list, with MP3 links to the album versions:
Ivan pt. 2
Stars
Buildings
Without A Sound
Airport Song
Hiawatha
Lake Superior
Sulk (in the city)
Six Hours From Milwaukee

Though I’m dreadfully behind on updating this site, it probably would be good to share with all of you that we’re back in business after an almost-year-long hiatus and will be performing at the new Acadia Cafe in Minneapolis on Wednesday, June 18 2008 with some other excellent musicians who we really dig.
A belated thank you to everyone who came to our Red Room show a couple weeks ago. We felt kind of out of our element there for all kinds of reasons, so it was really great that we got so much support.
For anyone who missed our Acadia show, you’ll be pleased to know that we’re playing there again this Thursday at 9:45. The Acadia is cool, we hope to be incrementally more entertaining than last time, and it’s a freaking Thursday! So, you know, stop on by!
I was at the Police concert at the Xcel last Tuesday (which, every local newspaper review notwithstanding, was awesome). On the way in, some girls wearing Cities 97 t-shirts were giving out set lists for that night’s show. Not only were they correct; they included the encore songs.
Some may say that this isn’t very rock and roll, but perhaps we’ve had enough of this whole “spontenaeity” thing in pop music. So, without further ado, I present to you our set list for tonight’s show at the Loring:
1 - How You Remind Me
2 - Hotel California
3 - Paint It Red
4 - Quarter-Life Crisis
5 - Glory of Love (from Karate Kid II)
6 - Freebird
7 - Never Gonna Give You Up
8 - Dvořák - Symphony No. 9, in E Minor (New World)
Encore
9 - Summer of ‘69
10 - Closing Time
11 - 4′33″
Be sure to show up and hear your favorite tunes!
Thanks to everyone who came out to Monday’s show. It was great to see all of you, and hopefully you all had as much fun as I did. Jonathan and Trumpet Marine both put on great shows, and I managed to not electrocute myself despite spilling water all over a plugged-in power strip. That’s what I call a good night. I’ll post some pictures once I see if we got any good ones and actually get around to giving the site a more substars-y look and feel.
For those who didn’t come, we played eight songs and they were all flawless in both composition and execution. Don’t believe anyone who says otherwise. Also, I’m out of CDs, but maybe I’ll make some more if there is interest, so feel free to inquire anyway.
In any case, look for us to play some shows this summer. I’ll keep you posted whether you like it or not.

Monday, June 04, 2007
Time: 8:00 PM to 11:00 PM
Cover Charge: $3.00
Ages: All Ages
Mr. Dessi-Olive will kick things off with what I think will be a solo singer-songwritery performance. Andy and Steve will join me as we play a few songs ourselves, and the most excellent Trumpet Marine will shut it down with some lush indie-pop. Do stop by if you can!
