It wasn’t a great show — we were plagued by a very bad stage mix and didn’t play or sing particularly well that night. Also, for reasons unknown to me, we wound up sitting around the venue for a few hours until the staff deigned to do a soundcheck, and I hit the stage more than a little annoyed and at a low energy ebb. That said, the venue has a decent sounding (almost acoustically dead) room, and it’s a good-sounding recording. The energy and performance quality started to pick up by the end of the set.

Our recent show at Chicago’s Abbey Pub with Hot Buttered Rum is now available for download on Archive.org. Many thanks to our pal Brian for taping the show and making it available on the Live Music Archive. Now you can relive the show in all its silver-caped glory in the privacy of your own head.
