Talkin About That Country Shit

Get out the way, pretty Joie coming through!!!! This weekend was an amazing one. Even though our tour with our best friends Joie De Vivre couldn't happen. We salvaged what we could and made an excellent weekend out of it. On Friday, we played the 3rd last show of the Cabana House in South Bend. I don't think we have played anywhere else in South Bend except the Cabana House in the last year. It was sad to see it go but it was a great night. We got see many friends and make a lot of new ones. If you haven't checked out Analecta, William Bonney or Into It. Over It. yet, do yourself a favor and give them a listen. Our friend Dave Summers took some rad pictures:

After our show, we slammed some Del Taco, made our way back to Kalamazoo with Joie De Vivre and rested up for the DAAC. In the morning there was much NBA Jam and wiffle ball to be played.




















The DAAC was amazing as always. William Bonney kicked off the night right. It was awesome getting to spend the weekend with those dudes. We go way back with Jack and Michael and their band is amazing. Charles the Osprey followed and melted our faces. Seriously one of the best Michigan bands playing right now. They just put out a 12 inch record on Friction Records. Check it out! Thanks so much to everyone who came out and yelled along, the DAAC is our home away from home. It was awesome to see so many friends. We had to end the night right and our friend Arthur had a little favor to ask Russ. So we did it up as shown here:
















BOOM! Chewbacca Mask! After the show we said goodbye the only way we know how...arm wrestling competition. Russ of course won.


























Thanks so much to everyone who came out to see us this weekend. We had a blast. Thanks to Joie De Vivre for playing some of my favorite music and being some of the most solid guys I've ever met. Next weekend we are doing a weekend with The New Yorker from Chicago. Grand Rapids on Friday and Kalamazoo at the No Fun House on Saturday. BOOYAH!
