Free Parking Tour Date:

A GIG!

We’ll be playing a private party on Sunday May 21.  Park your cars at Harpers on Hurstbourne Parkway, stand on the hood, and you might be able to hear us!

 

 

Velcro Pygmie Dates This Week:

Travis and I saw the boys Monday Night at the Chow Wagon.  Believe it or not, 2 beers ($12) cost me more than 2 Pygmie T-Shirts ($10).  That’s nuts!  But anyway, they were great as usual.  Their set list is very similar to ours.  So if you like us, you’ll love them!  You’ve got 2 chance to catch them this Derby Week – Thursday at Phoenix Hill (11:30 show time is being reported) and Friday at 4^th Street Live, in the street @ 9:00.  Friday’s show is free.  Come out and see a great local / regional band and one of the most energetic performances you’ll ever see.  I’ll be at Friday’s show so look me up!
