End of Year Show Roundup

2011 is drawing to a close soon and we have a couple more shows to play before we hit the woodshed, emerging in a couple months with some new material. We are hoping you'll join us for our free Thanksgiving weekend party at Hunter's Down Under, Saturday, November 26. Anyone who's seen us at HDU can attest to the fantastic house party vibe and general good times had by all with our favorite bartender Steve serving up some delicious beverages. Don't miss it!

On Friday, December 9th, we'll be playing the long-running Hoot Night at the great Lafayette Brewing Company. This will be our final show of 2011 and we'll be bringing some great tunes along with friends Why I Like Robins and Gypsy Revival.

See you at the shows!

Local Anesthetic Interview

10/21/11

I just relistened to a fantastic interview with from 2010 with Pat McClimans and Richard Milne about our 2009 debut album. If you have a spare 30min I suggest you do that same. Its pretty much the best coverage we have in our archive. Here it is;

This is also posted on the media page.

Enjoy the history lesson

NEW Painting NEW gigs MORE fun.

10/19/2011

First I wanna give a huge thanks to Tony Bianco for the great Root Hog painting! Tony is a relative to our keyboard player Dan Pullins, no artistic slouch himself, and you can see that creativity runs deep in the family. Hopefully we will be using it quite a bit. Clicking through Tony's gallery it is easy to see that he is quite the artist. Anyone who has ever taken an art class can atest to the realism of some of the fantastic images. To see what I am talking about CLICK HERE.

On the music front we have been pretty busy. Thank you so much to PEOPLES BREWING COMPANY for throwing a great Fall Bash this year. We are proud to be part of such a great community of people and blessed to be chosen to entertain them. I took some video of the opening act The Woodstove Flapjacks and caught some audio of our set. (my camera died) Look for both of these things to pop up soon!

We will be returning to Lafayette on NOV 26th at Hunter Pub Down Under. This will be a party also, but will be a party we are throwing for thanksgiving. We will also be playing The Double Door in Chicago on NOV 1st Be sure to check our live shows page for details and updates soon.

You may have noticed a new layout as well as a few other intersting things. We are trying to spruce up around here. Be sure to let us know what you think!
