03.23 - The Rock House - Indianapolis, IN
We had to battle through a killer thunderstorm as we ventured from Chicago to Indianapolis to perform at the Rockhouse on this raucous Friday night.
Although our show was plagued with technical difficulties, we had a great time with the crowd. The promoter for the show hired a photographer and videographer and they documented the night for us. The show was highlighted with an uncharacteristic abandon.

03.24 - Be Here Now - Muncie, IN
This trip was only our second time through Muncie and our second time performing at Be Here Now. This venue is quite eccentric. With a nice craft beer selection at the bar and homegrown art lining the walls – We feel right at home when we visit. In December when this show was lined up we had no idea we would be performing the same night as “Muncie Gras”. We spent the first part of the night watching potential, already half naked, show goers - pile into free trollies. From here they would be dropped off downtown and pay $5 to drink in the street and try to convince fellow co-eds to show some skin.
The crowd never quite reached it’s full potential but we made the most of the night with what we were given. Despite the lack of a full crowd, sold some merch and made some new friends. The bill was shared with Ryan Pruett. Here a few pictures from our performance.
03.30 - RME Café - Davenport, IA
We haven’t ventured through Davenport much as a band – just one time in the Spring of last year. We didn’t really know what to expect but outside of some new and enthusiastic fans we found two other really great things!
When we arrived we found out we were the “Band of The Week” in the GO! Section of the Quad Cities Times.

Also the venue we played was a real intimate place with a rich history of performers. It turns out that even Jimi Hendrix had played this room in 1968 – Where the stage was pre-renovation – we have no clue. The upstairs has a museum feeling with a larger room. We played the Café downstairs. It was a free show – John June Year was on the bill.
Once again we had equipment failure when Kevin’s back up amp (his amp fried out during recording two weeks ago) overheated and only worked intermittently. This forced us to exit the stage a little early.
03.31 - The Buffalo - Burlington, IA
We have been playing Burlington just about 2 years now. Ironically, this may have been the first time we performed on a Saturday, at least it felt like it. With the radio support we receive on KQ92 we have built up a really great crowd for ourselves here.
We were competing with friends of ours in Toology, a Tool Tribute act, down the street. This made for a treat when we saw so many Strangeloves present when we took for our first set of the evening. We missed some familiar faces but all in all it was a real treat.
A group at the front of the stage wore fake moustaches; they were ready to party and party they did.
We performed for nearly three and a half hours before our night was eclipsed with a last minute decision to make the trek back to Chicago overnight.
We made it home safe and sound.
04.12 - 04.13 - Macomb/Peoria
PURE AWESOME.
Setting the gear back up and getting back to writing and stopping this damn.. NOW.
Most of the new music is translating well live. More to come soon! THaaaaaaaaaaaaaankssssssss.
