THE WINTER BEGINS

Welcoming in 2010. The holidays are over, and now it's time for much more important things, like playing reggae music in your city. In about two weeks, we embark upon our weekend warrior schedule of touring. We'll be trying to hit as many different cities as we can in the midwest between now and the end of March. Notably, we'll be coming to Knoxville, Detroit, St. Louis, and probably a run out to New York State later on. Check our tour schedule for an updated list.

For you special Cincinnatians, we'll be blowing up the Southgate House Parlor on January 15th with the Frankl Project, the Happy Maladies, and Jahlumbus homeboys Stretch Lefty. Definitely not a show to miss. It's a Friday night. Come get loose! 5 bucks at the door, and this show will be smoke-free

Ska is Dead. Seriously.

On Monday, November 9th, we are playing on the Ska Is Dead tour at the Mad Hatter in Covington, KY. This show features such legendary bands as The Toasters, Voodoo Glow Skulls, Deal's Gone Bad, and local punkers, Loudmouth. Tickets are $15, but we are running a contest on our Facebook event page. Whoever invites the most people to the event wins two free tickets!

To our Chicago crew, we have good news: you only have to wait until November 14th to catch us again. We'll be playing with Passafire at the Beat Kitchen and are extremely eager to get back to Chi-town and to see all you guys there.

Lastly, if you haven't heard already, we've been nominated this year for a Cincinnati Entertainment Award, in the category of Best World Music. We had the distinct honor of winning this award back in 2007, and are eager to win once more. You can vote on the Citybeat Magazine website here. But hurry up: you only have 'til Monday to get your vote in!

RiotFest 2009 & Punk Rock Grandma

If you missed out on Chicago's Riot Fest this year, you ought to be kicking yourself. So many great bands in such a great city. Our show was awesome, The Aggrolites ruled, and the Punk Rock Bowling Tournament was a blast. Big ups to Riot Mike for putting it all on.

In other news, this saturday is a very special one. At The Mad Hatter, we will be hosting a night to honor Pat Rice, a local music legend. Our basist, Chris Grannen, produced and directed a documentary about her, and this will be the first public screening of it. The show starts at 8pm, and the documentary will be played at 11pm or so. For $5, there's no better way to come out and support one of the biggest supporters of music in Cincinnati.
