NYC Venues

Peter Grant — Mon, 04 Feb 2008 19:38:14 +0000

OK, so Gothamist wrote a piece about our squabble with the Annex following Friday’s cancellation without notice. In the peice we got as good as we gave. And that is fine. We’re big boys, we can take it. Just want to be clear about one thing: we don’t hate New York or New Yorkers. As a matter [...]

The Annex in NYC

Peter Grant — Sat, 02 Feb 2008 17:42:53 +0000

OK, so we got screwed by the Annex in NYC last night. They canceled our show without letting us know. One band even drove all the way from Boston only to be told to turn around and go home. So here is what we are doing. I’m trying to email every major blogger, journalist and scenester [...]

Can Doctors please stop commenting on Britney?!

axewheelder — Sat, 05 Jan 2008 15:20:16 +0000

What’s with doctors who have never met Britney Spears commenting on her condition? I’m hardly going to get all “Leave Britney Alone” on your ass, but I do expect more from a doctor. Hippocratic Oath anyone? Don’t doctor’s make enough money without needing to become celebrities? Well, I guess everyone wants to be rich and [...]

My Aim is True

Listening to Elvis Costello’s My Aim is True yesterday on the train. It kicked my ass so hard. I simultaneously wanted to grab a guitar and rock, and give up playing forever. The songs are that good.

Ain’t That America (A Living Room in Indianapolis)

axewheelder — Sat, 15 Dec 2007 14:31:35 +0000

Pulled out of Jersey City at 7:00 am, heading to Indianapolis to play in someone’s living room. A dude named Steve. We don’t know him. That is right, we drove 11 hours to play in the living room of a complete stranger. Driving through Pennsylvania in the snow blows. We stopped to eat in West Virginia. [...]

Huey Lewis

Peter Grant — Tue, 04 Dec 2007 14:33:49 +0000

New review in from Bullz-eye.com. My favorite part is where they say this is “For fans of Huey Lewis.” If you’re a fan of unpretentious rock music that uses guitars and strong melodies to deliver songs that are, for lack of a better term, All-American, you’re going to love the Milwaukees. Critics have been jumping on [...]

The Chowder Excursion

axewheelder — Mon, 03 Dec 2007 16:15:56 +0000

First, we’ve been bad bloggers. I know. Working on making that better… Here’s the lowdown on the weekend: 4 shows. 3 days. Friday: Rex’s in West Chester, PA. Kinda weird. People seemed to like us but didn’t seem to like to clap. I talked to one person about it, she said she couldn’t because she had a [...]
