August 7th, Ribfest, Deals Gone Bad, then Flogging Molly

Cheers Everyone,

Well, its that time of year again, the ‘outdoor festival type show’
time of year, the time of year we swear every year we are going to
stop playing shows because of the sheer sweatiness of our band.
Well, once again, we couldnt say no, so here you go, the next couple
shows, all outisde, all in the swealtering Nebraska heat.

THIS WEEK!!!!

Thursday August 7th
Capitol City Ribfest
Downtown Lincoln(outside Pershing auditorium)
7pm
The Killigans/Deals Gone Bad

Yes, Ribfest means, its a festival honoring the holy grail of
barbeque, the almighty pork rib. $5 admission, gets you a show, and
access to all the awesome vendors. Vegetarians beware. Looking at
the lineup of bands, this night seems to be the biggest night in
music. They’ve invited our friends “DEALS GONE BAD” over from
Chicago to headline the night. Deals plays a mix of soul, ska, and
reggae, and are one of our favorite bands. This show is going to be
a great time, so please come out and see these guys before they get
too big to come back.

Sunday August 10th
River Riot
Westfair Amphitheater
Council Bluffs Iowa
Flogging Molly
4pm

Not sure how many tickets are left for this one. Yeah, we are
playing first in a string of 3 other bands, leading up to the one and
only Flogging Molly. If you are heading up to this show, be sure and
get there by 4 so you can catch us. We play early, followed by, The
Skybombers, Pomeroy, and Rehab. Woo.

Sunday August 31st
Nebraska State Fair
Open Air Auditorium
The Deraillers

Not sure on all the details yet, but I thought Id throw this in for
good measure. Austins mega huge country/rock act The Deraillers are
coming back to Lincoln on the big stage, and we were lucky enough to
be added to the bill. Cant wait for this one.

We will be back on the bar circuit in September. First up, Lincoln
Calling with 4020 at the State Theater, September 18th.

 Also, Ive been hearing concern from all over about the status of Brown Bottle Hymnal.  Yes, it is currently sold out in hard copy form.  We are currently working on restocking it, but if could take a little time.  MP3 versions of the album are available all over the place, including www.itunes.com  Look for it to be back in print in the next couple of months.  Maybe even some vinyl.
