Press
Both Scene in Cleveland and the Reader in Chicago published mini-reviews of A Divided House in advance of the shows... Yes, that's the New Bomb Turks' Eric Davidson that did the Scene review. The writer of the Reader piece, J Niimi, promises a live review in next week's issue. Also, Songs Illinois music blog has posted a blurb about the band with links to the downloads.
Many Thanks
A huge thank you to all of you who came out to the shows in Cleveland and Chicago. It was a little hairy for me, having not played live for nearly 8 years, and having practiced all of once with both Matt and Scott prior to the 12th, but hopefully you all enjoyed the shows. Matt took time from his busy pre-European tour practice schedule with Lambchop, and Scott did double duty, drumming for the Rainy Day Saints as well.
Thanks especially to all those who helped out by buying some CD's, including the special "sampler" CD-R, and for those of you who took the time to say hello. It's always a pleasure to put faces to the names of commenters and emailers.
Thanks also to Bruce at the Empty Bottle and Kathy at the Grog Shop. Both have been presenting bands at their respective clubs as long as I've been a band.
And of course, thanks to the other bands, who were all great...
