(We’re still skeptical, by the way, that fish really enjoy being petted, but would be happy to look over any peer-reviewed articles that make a convincing argument.)

So while it may have appeared to be a slow quarter around these parts, we do have a few things cooking. Six Hours From Milwaukee is set to appear on the RPM 2008 rock sampler, along with some of our favorite RPM acts including Angie Fights Crime, Sister Savage, and Broken Promise Keeper. I guess that’ll be happening in January, and I’ll probably grab a few discs in case anyone is interested.

We are getting back down to business this Saturday, September 27 with a rousing rock show at the Terminal Bar in northeast Minneapolis. Bringing tha noize along with us will be Ryan K Sutter (formerly of Trumpet Marine) and Flink. We’ll play some new stuff. Ryan’s got a whole new thing going on. And Flink has been on my list of bands to play a show with sometime since I played with the The Traces and we’re finally doing it. Sometimes dreams do come true.

the substars w/ Flink and Ryan K Sutter
September 27, 2008 – 9 P.M.
Terminal Bar
409 E Hennepin Ave, Minneapolis

9:00 Ryan K Sutter
10:00 the substars
11:00 Flink

Parking: there are metered spots all over that are enforced until 10. But I think 1st Ave NE behind the bar is not metered and people tell me there are usually free spaces.

Come or we will cry!

Last year was a blast–we highly recommend it–and hopefully this year will be similarly fruitful, and maybe even see us coming up with some music that you might find pleasant to listen to. So stay tuned!
