CANASTA - Next Fri. 3/8 @ Ace Bar (First Chicago Show in 5 Months!)
(sent on 2013-03-01)
Well, well, well, Canasta fans, it's been a while, hasn't it?
We hope you're surviving and thriving in this long and snowy winter. 'Round these parts, we've been working our buns off to bring you all some new material. And while the writing can be fun and rewarding, sometimes you just wanna strap up and entertain… With that in mind, we're happy to announce our next show, one week from tonight!
At long last, we emerge from our winter songwriting cave to play our first Chicago show since late September! How we've missed seeing you sweet people and, of course, rocking your equally sweet faces off. Please join us next Friday, 3/8, at Ace Bar for what's sure to be a fantastic night with yours truly and a few of our best broheems, Zapruder Point and Mike Roth. Like Canasta, Z.P. has also been on the scene for over a decade, which is nuts. But what was often a solo or stripped down endeavour for troubador Dan Phillips in the past is now a fully-realized rock army. Mr. Roth, meanwhile, played bass with us for "Belle & Sebastian Night," but he's better known for his work with Cobalt & the Hired Guns, the band with whom he recently parted ways. This is only Mike's second solo show since striking out on his own, so expect to see him with a hunger in his eyes! The show starts at 9pm and Canasta will headline, so expect a lengthy set, complete with alternate-universe hits, deep cuts, covers and perhaps even a B&S tune… Let's do this!
