  • Caught by covid

    I guess there really isn’t any good time to test positive for Covid. My turn came on Monday. I didn’t feel 100% at band practice Sunday, so didn’t join Shockker for drinks afterwards and just went home. I had symptoms Monday morning, so got flagged by the health screen app from my work (Netflix TV series) and got a drive through test at the Netflix Lab (yes Netflix has its own doctors and labs). I got a call later from the HSS telling me the sad news, and began the task of cancelling our gig at the Railway (sorry Balto and Moylan).

    After a hellish night of broken glass throat and chest pain, I’ve been able to keep symptoms at bay by eating DayQuil and NyQuil. My poor liver will need to recover from the vast amounts of acetaminophen, but all in all, things could be way worse. Unfortunately, Shane, Brian and Christa all tested positive today as well, and Shockk is isolating with symptoms so… Yeah, after dodging this bullet for two and a half years, we’ve all been caught.

  • We’re back… kinda

    So fingers crossed we actually are going to play some shows again!

    Our pandemic drought of live rock has been going since Bowie Ball 2020, which is now two years ago officially. We’ve decided to forego that event this year, but have been keeping ourselves busy writing songs by text message (yes iphone voice recorder is the way to go for this), and we’ve actually finished a couple good ones at a legit studio as well, which we’ll debut live in March.

    Our good buddy Chris Walter has been writing up a storm and has asked us to join La Chinga and Rebel Priest for a book launch at Lanalou’s.

    We’ve also been asked to support the Dreadnoughts Punkstravaganza again this year and, public health order willing, that’ll be our first time back at the Rickshaw.
