Quickie (relatively speaking)

                Hey guys what up?  Big news for Sioux Falls.  We done got ourselves some shows!  We've been sending our music to absurd numbers of venues and awesomely enough, many have written back saying they'd like us to play there.  !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  Fucking sweet.  We are beyond psyched.  So far we've got 4 dates lined up in December and early January.  Those dates are:
Thursday Dec. 8th at The Ella St. Social Club w/ In Media Res (who incidentally have a motherfucking Wikipedia)
Thurday Dec. 20th at The Bunk Bar (which incidentally is one of Portland's coolest venues) w/ The We Shared Milk (who incidentally kick ass) and Themes
Friday Dec. 30th at Tonic Lounge
Tuesday Jan. 3rd at The Ash Street Saloon w/ Commons

You can actually see "Sioux Falls" on their calendars!

That's what we've got set in stone for now but we're talking to other venues and we've got a few house shows thrown in there as well.  It's bizarre to think that things are actually happening.  We're so used to talking about how awesome things are going to be that when things actually start getting awesome and moving in the right direction it just seems surreal.  Cool surreal though.  Not being molested by Freddy Krueger surreal.




Definitely a top contender for the worst song ever.  Chad Kroeger is sooooo fucking ugly.  I almost want to feel sorry for him (that actually isn't true.  He is a giant douche and I feel zero anything resembling compassion).

Look at his face.  I keep trying to figure out what's actually wrong with it but I can't seem to put my finger on it (although his forehead leaves ample space for fingers {does he even have a big forehead though-  or am I just trying to find a simple explanation for his tremendous physical shortcomings when the real answer is much more troubling?}).  He looks like a super effeminate neanderthal or something (never should one hear phrase- "He looks like Nicholas Cage but more ugly").  I dunno.  Obviously Nickelback is the easy target as far as shitty bands go but they're casually ripped on so often that it's sometimes hard to remember how much they actually do suck.  Because they do.  Here's how I like to break it down:

Nirvana>Pearl Jam>Creed>Nickelback  And I hate everything after Nirvana.  That song in particular is probably the worst I've heard from them (because what goes together better than Canadian Post-Grunge and limp, knowingly convenient social commentary?  Everything.)

We'll keep ya posted on the shows.  

Check this out first though. 

Way cool
