Hello?  (Spiv blows dust off of keyboard)  I can't remember any passwords or what exactly I set out to do in front of this screen.  YAY! Well. I'll give it a GO!

  Sincerely hope everyone is doing well since last correspondence.  I will spare you a dissertation on "what the hell I did during a pandemic" and just get to the generalities.

We're all doing well here in our rock and roll camp.  As you can see, shows are trickling in, some were re-booked from last year.  Some places book a year out, so that's why the multiple dates/same venue throughout the year.  Some clubs/venues are sadly no longer and I'm assuming some bands are no longer after musicians all got a feel for free weekends. D'oh!  Regardless, there are scattered potential bookings I decided not to post, pending whatever.

Original music wise, sure - still messing around with various projects and re-listening to old jam recordings.  Time will tell and inspiration/drive will fuel that truck when it's ready to hit the highway..

That's about it - hopefully we'll see you soon!

Rock on!

Kentland Records arises from the dead!! 8/3/2020!

 

Hi everyone!  Hoping everyone is staying safe and well!  Well.. this sucks. I know it's just not us musicians that are taking the hit in our new reality, we're all paying the price for something out of our control.  Yes, as a band guy, an aging band guy, what do I/we do?  2020 is pretty much off the books.I feel for the full time touring musicians, the clubs/ joints that host us.  There's no telling what the new normal will be.  I appreciate all of the friends that have pushed to encourage myself and my bandmates to play anywhere, anything.  I get it.  I think the world is realizing how much live entertainment plays an important role in life. To be absolutely candid - I cant find the fire to hunt down gigs. Trust me, I'm rock and roll to the core, but this is more than defeating, and who knows what the future holds?  Stay positive -absolutely.    So, , We have a GIG to promote. 

 

This Saturday. 8/8/2020

Red Pop Fury 

Round Barn winery

Baroda,MI

 

ME, Flamboyant Tony and Mr. Glynn will throw the rock down.

 

FYI - Covid Parameters:

Outdoor gig.  250 max capacity.  wear masks, social distance.  Band will restrain from playing music that incites crowd. in other words, this is my favorite gig.  kick out the jams.

 

That's what's on the books.

 

Thank you all for being a part of our machine.

 

Love and hugs

 

Spiv

 

 

 

Kentland Records Covid-19 reaction.

 

Hello, all!  Unless you were born around 1918, this is a new scenario for all of us.  All shows are cancelled, suspended, de-activated until further notice.  As a music portal, our hearts bleed for all of the musicians out there, blindsided and literally unplugged.  When this passes and we find out how to live a new 'normal", we cannot wait to plug in and contribute to your heaing loss.  Until then - thank you for being a part of our lives, and please stay safe.  

 

Rock on.

Spiv

 

 

 

 

 

 

KENTLAND RECORDS WELCOME TO 2020!!!

 

Hello everyone, and belated holiday greetings from Kentland Records!  We had a great 2019, lots of great shows, lots of wierd shows, lots of off the grid shows and a sad farewell to one of the most iconic rock clubs in Chicago that every Kentland band has played for over two decades, Elbo Room.  Simple Simon had the honor of being one of the acts to bid farewell.  Rock on!  Onward and Upward!

 

2020 - Shows are chiming in frequently, so check back to see what's going on.  Looking forward to pumping out some new music to start the new decade off on a loud note!  Take care and ROCK ON!  -Spiv

NEWS:
 
So I, SPIV, got to play the National Anthem at a Major League Baseball game.  Many people have asked what it was like?  Well, the parameters were to keep the guitar version traditional.  Albeit many friends wanted me to go all Hendrix or Van Halen on it - nah.  I just played it.  No pressure until the first note.  Everyone has their attention on you , and everyone knows the melody.  Nevertheless, it was super cool.  Thanks for anyone who commented via social media.  There was also a nice blurb in the Forest Park Review. xoxoxo.
 
 
Big hugs to our great friends the Vibe Tribe, who became essential members of Kentland bands(Blackmaker, Javelinas).  They played an anniversary show recently, and we all wwere there in spirit.  Blessed to know you knuckleheads!
 
Outside of that, REDPOP FURY/PETTY CASH  have shows on the books, as well as SPIV Solo acoustic.  Come on out.  
 
As for new Kentland music - the horse may be sleeping, but he's itching to ride....
 
 
Rock on!

News:

 

Hey all! Been a while since Spiv has sent correspondence!  Anyway, lots happening, as always.  Please check the Kentland home page for updated dates.

FROSTING is on!  6/9/2018!  Elbo Room with our friends Audio Curve.  Frosting welcomes back to the lineup Bill Brinias and Ryan Nelson.  As always, the jams will be kicked out in full form.  Get to the show!

Scattered shows of all shapes and forms are littering the Kentland calendar.  Gets confusing at times, to myself as well, trust me, with multiple members in RED POP FURY, Spiv solo acoustic etc.  A couple of notable dates, PETTY CASH playing Chicagoland Speedway (7/1), Tribute Island in Kenosha WI (7/22) Rte 66 car show in Berwyn (8/25), and Berwyn Octoberfest (9/15).  All are family friendly and most are daytime rock shows.  Bring your entire family tree!  REDPOP FURY, who had a nice snapshot playing live at Guaranteed Rate Field back on 6/1, check the FB page – looks cool, has some cool shows coming up the pipe as well, including Willow springs fest (8/4), Harvest Jam (9/14) Hegwisch fest (9/29) and Round Barn Winery, with SPIV solo opening (10/13).  All are family friendly as well.  SPIV will play anywhere at any time, clearly marked by the scattered crazy shows everywhere.

Kentland would like to offer up congrats to Timmy Lydon and Corinne Sullivan for tying the knot back on 5/12.  Aint nuthin’ like a rock and roll wed’n!

That’s about it!  For updates, please check back! 

 

Rock on!

NEWS:
 
Review of 2018 thus far:
 
FROSTING came out of the woodwork with a stellar rock show at Wire in Berwyn in early January. Special thanks to Bill Brinias (with an entire truckload of gear for HIMSELF) and Ryan Nelson for filling in on Guitar and Bass guitar respectively. Rehearsals were a blast, the gig was a blast, and the first time FROSTING went out SANS a female vocalist in the group. Talk is still brewing about more shows and writing, of course. Let's get it on!! Yay FROSTING!
 
BLACKMAKER had it's first outing in some time at District Bar in Rockford IL. Without a doubt, it was off the rails. First time for BLACKMAKER playing without the departed Reggie Raisner. Personal reasons, nothing band-related. Spiv held the 6 string rock, just added more AMPLIFIERS. Show was great, band is still in the talks of doing more. Time shall tell.
 
PETTY CASH hits the pavement for a double duty weekend celebrating Johnny Cash’s birthday Feb 25,26 at BUB CITY Rosemont, and BUB CITY Chicago, respectively. The word was fairly quiet - but we are EXTREMELY grateful that Matt Friscia (Poster Children) is back in action from a very bad car crash from a while back. Looking very forward to ROCK. hit the link to find out more!!! http://bub-city.com/chicago/
 
 
RED POP FURY IS ALWAYS THE BEST EVER. That is all.
 
ROCK ON!

News: BLACKMAKER "All We Had Left - The Collection" is now available on CDBABY!  Here's the link! 
 
 https://store.cdbaby.com/cd/blackmaker2  
 
T'was a great 2017.  Re-kindled some old rock and roll friendships (Blackmaker), and released a monumental 4-cd retrospective.  Lots of great gigs throughout the year.  A couple of Kentland alumni (Tony, Spiv) crossed the 50yr old threshold.  There's no turning back... we're IN for the long haul!
 
It's funny how I've heard, from others' perspective, many folks gauge their view of musical success by how popular  your band / music is.  I'll tell you this, and I can speak for my bandmates - The truth is: it doesn't matter if we're selling out an arena or sitting on a chair solo acoustic, playing covers..  We're entertainers.  Within the group playing, we strive for goosebumps via performance of a song on stage.  There's simply no explanation for that feeling when it happens - truly out-of-body type stuff.  
 
I can say that we're at that phase.  We play many types of gigs - bars, fests,  block parties, tons of private functions, etc.  These gigs are above and beyond the glory of a 3/4 sold out, 40min House of Blues show. Bottom line:We love performing alongside each other, wherever, whenever. When that spark hits, and you feel it in the audience - THAT is success.
 
Thanks you: The few, the proud, the Kentland Records mail recipients.   You are our family.
 
Happiest of holidays, whatever your religious affiliation or any of that overthought / oversensitive crap.
 
Thank you for being a part of our RNR family!
 
Rock on!

NEWS:
 
KENTLAND RECORDS would like to send heartfelt condolences to the family and friends of Kris Gutrich (Simons, Blackmaker, Red Pop FURY) Bill Gutrich, father of Kris, passed away September 29, 2017.
 
Blackmaker had a great show at the Bluesfest At The Crossroads in Terre Haute, IN. Great to see some old friends and throw down some guitar slung rock and roll in an ever growing festival. The bous in Blackmaker definitely want to set up more shows in the future. Talks are always in he works. The 4CD set "All we had left" will soon be available for online purchase. Due to some snags in the uploading/setup process, it's taking a little longer than expected. Stay Tuned!
 
SIMPLE SIMON is still alive and well, just focusing on a thing called life and perhaps the uprising of Blackmaker the last 8 months have put new things on a holding pattern at this point. No worries - in time my friends, in time...
 
JAVELINAS - Rest in peace, we will never forget! Here's a juke joint version of "red shoes" live on Fearless Radio about 10 years ago... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vW1T6xTbInw
 
FROSTING - Gathering ideas for more recording.
 
RED POP FURY - Had some great shows over the summer, and a few on the books throughout the end of 2017. Get out and ROCK with them! NEVER underestimate the power of a category 5 rock and roll hurricane.
 
PETTY CASH - Great summer of shows! Sadly, we were playing Tom Petty songs while he was current, now we've become a definite "tribute to both" Petty and Cash. We shall keep the music alive - come see the live shows!! Big one coming this weekend 10/15 at 45 fest in Villa Park, IL. https://www.villaparkchamber.org/content/45-fest-0
 
SPIV - Solo Acoustic HELL. It's like when you're full from dinner, but want something sweet, but not like some big ass explosive piece of cake with three sauces. A nice cup of vanilla yogurt with some crunchy granola and even a few anti-oxidant blueberries does the trick EVERY TIME. Fan of wineries? Come see the last show outdoor for SPIV - Solo Acoustic HELL at Round Barn in Baroda MI. 12 EST (11am Chicago time). Early show, beautiful setting, FUN.
 
 
That's all folks!
 
ROCK ON!

News:   Hello folks!  Been a while!  Let's kick off with a rewind review -  Lots of gigs the past few months, various bands - all were just as spectacular as imaginable!  AS USUSAL:)  
 
BLACKMAKER:  First show in years at Wire was awesome.  We've got one more in the books for our friends down south at Bluesfest in nTerre Haute IN.  After that, time will tell....  Regardless, if you didn't know, BLACKMAKER released a 4 CD set "All WE HAD LEFT - The Collection"  51 tracks across 4 CD's.  What a great bunch of music!  Spiv is currently working on getting the collection uploaded to CD Baby, when that's all done it will be available for digital purchace.  Stay tuned, details to follow.
 
FROSTING:  Tim and Spiv are clunking heads again, going to resume working on a potential EP release for 2017.  Summertime is crazy time in personal lives, so when the smoke clears, back to the grind of RECORDING!!  Stay Tuned!
 
Simple Simon:  Shhh... the baby is sleeping.  When he wakes up he'll be hungry, need a change and will be ready to ROCK.
 
Petty Cash:  What a fun band!! Lots of shows coming in at the end of the summer season -  Check back here for more details or feel free to visit www.pettycashband.com
 
Red Pop FURY:  Pure musical majesty in any way, shape or form.  Couple of private shows on the books, spinning wheels and shifting calendars to hopefully find a few more shows thru 2017.  Stay tuned!

News: BLACKMAKER BLACKMAKER BLACKMAKER This certainly the headline story of this particular mailer. Well, this will be the first show with the original lineup since 2004. We're hitting it with a bang at an uber cool club, WIRE in Berwyn IL. Friday, June 02. On the bill is the LEGENDARY Marty Casey as well as local rock outfit 13 Monsters. This particular gig, if all goes as planned, will be the only one on the books where you can get a NEW BLACKMAKER CD. Wait, Wha? You read it correctly. On a whim, a last minute decision was collectively made to put out a ...wait for it... 4CD SET of any and all unreleased demos, studio recordings, unfinished songs etc that BLACKMAKER ever inked. Who the hell is crazy enough to do something like that? BLACKMAKER.

4 Discs, 40+ songs. Granted, these are from the vault - the real vault. The set is unmastered, which basically means audio levels are all over the place (some songs way louder/quieter than the next) Some songs are unfinished, some have audible cd glitches, etc. It's literally ALL WE HAD LEFT. In all honesty, we really wanted to have it for the first show in years. Part of the decision to just "roll with the cd set as it is" was due to that fact. June 02 is hopefully not the last show Blackmaker will ever do, but who knows. With the way rockstars are dying nowadays... Ok, I won't go there. Back to the CD set. So basically you're getting EXACTLY what we took home after rehearsals, studio sessions etc. People over the years always asked "why didn't you put this song or that song out" - Well - you're getting them. ALL OF THEM. $25 gets you the set. Yes, it will eventually be available on iTunes, etc. But that usually takes about 1-2mos to set up. Being more of a purist, I like to read the liner notes and have the damn thing in my hands, so I'd advise you to BUY THE SET at the show!

 

Outside of that news, there are other various shows on the books -Redpop FURY, Petty Cash, and Spiv solo acoustic hell. Come on out and ROCK!!!

 

Rock on!

News:

Well blow me down. BLACKMAKER had it's first official rehearsal with the original lineup since our last time on stage in 2004. To say it was a goose bumping, emotional event for the 5 of us is an absolute understatement. What a band. Hard to find more words, but what a band, what a collection of rock music. Absolutely reinvigorated us to not put this to rest, but perhaps do a scattered reunion show here and there and bring that energy to the public. We're working on a couple of shows at this time, nothing but tentatives on the books - Don't you worry your little butt... you WILL KNOW when a show is booked. here's a FB clip of that rehearsal weekend: https://www.facebook.com/jeff.randall.56/videos/1559448477417866/?pnref=story

SIMPLE SIMON has a show!!! For the first time in years, the SIMONS are heading back up North to one of our favorite rock and roll towns, Beloit WI. We're absolutely excited to be playing with long time friends The Blacktop Kings, whom we've shared the stage with in some way, shape of form many times in many cities over the years. This will truly be one for the books. Get your hotel room and ROAD TRIP!

RED POP FURY. Always entertaining, always off the rails. Never EVER the same show twice, with the absolute best stage banter ever seen on stage by any human being in any part of the universe. We never update our website.

SPIV - Solo acoustic HELL. From Merle Haggard to The Kinks to The Cure to Gordon Lightfoot and a hell of a lot of 70's oozy yacht rock... Writing a set list is banned. Fun times!


That's about all I have this round. Remember, dates update and change from time to time, so always visit www.kentlandrecords.com for updated stuff.

Rock on!

News:  From the mouth of JAVELINAS: 

My how time flies... This time of year, 10 yrs ago, Javelinas released our second full length record, "Seven Sisters". Recorded, mastered in 7 days in the historic Smart Studios (RIP), It was a record that moved a lot of people across the USA, including ourselves, obviously.

Chris McGinnis, Mark Grzelak, Chris Glynn, Dan Postlewait, put out an independent kick to the throat masterpiece. In our lifespan, we played hard. Mostly small clubs, bigger shows here and there, as ...is the course, but we hit the road often as possible and always turned heads that were stubborn to turn. Aah, the glory... Regardless, Javelinas was a live bonfire of rock and roll from the first note. As for 7 Sisters? Great reviews across independent, regional press nationwide, and most proudly, 5 songs off of 7 Sisters were in regular rotation on pre-Sirius merger, XM Cross Country radio, Nashville. When Javelinas songs were ranking above Willie Nelson and John Fogerty songs, it was something unexplainable to feel unless you were in the band. Long live JAVELINAS. Long Live Rock And Roll. Feel free to peruse through our video clips and photos, or visit the mothership www.kentlandrecords.com to hear clips etc. Rock on!

I'll give my personal side - I have the great fortune of having been in insanely driven bands throughout the course of this musical career.  They all have exclusive stories and all share a thread of commonality somehow.  Javelinas for me was a coming of age band.  I was approaching 40, still hard core rock and roll, but needed to morph in the guitar/singer/songwriter/frontman realm, in a different GENRE.  Call some parts of it country, sure.  The label was Americana, but we were still just rock and roll.  We had a few acoustic songs, yeah.  Best part was that we could do a gig with the most cutting edge rock band, or the old school rock historian and still have complete merit, poise and zero uncertainty.  It was the band that took my musical perspective to a new realm, and I'm still learning.  LIFE friends with Chris Glynn, Dan Postlewait and Chris McGinniss. We created history.

And History was created by the few, the proud, the Kentland bands.   As I type this, I'm mentally preparing for the first jam session of the band BLACKMAKER in, well, years.  I can't wait to dive into the music and share time with another group of livelong musical friends:  Tony Porfirio, Jeff Randall, Kris Gutrich, Reggie Raisner.  Not quite sure what the plan is yet, but it has to (re)start somewhere.  3/3/2017 is that restart.  Details to follow.

On the retrospective gig front, Thanks to all who came out to the dual BUB CITY jams (Spiv/Tony acoustic) Rosemont, (Petty Cash) Clark st. What a weekend of great music.  Moments were had/made.

On the current gig front:  Spiv Solo acoustic HELL rages on - check the calendar for dates... 

RED POP FURY IS PLAYING IN THE CITY OF CHICAGO?!?!!@#$%@#^%  YES!  YES! YES!   After you look in awe at the green Chicago River, and scream at the green floats at the St. Patrick's Day Parade in Chgo - Get your ass down to the Polk Street Pub.  Courtesy of LYDONLAND - Red Pop Fury will bring, well, something unlike those folks have never witnessed in the realm of rock music entertainment.  I'm thinking book a room with the significant other and make a night of insanity. 

That's all I got.

ROCK ON!!!

Aah, 2017!  Who would've thought Spiv would be sending rock and roll emails out at this juncture in life?  Yee haw! 

Let's get to it and talk about some band stuff:


SIMPLE SIMON:  Had a nice writing session in late January, more to come for sure.  The story:  We had archived about 20-30 songs that never saw the light of day in the late 1990's-early 2000's.  We've never stopped thinking about these songs and decided to blow the dust off them and see if anything sticks, despite the fact that they're 15+yrs old.  Some pretty cool stuff, some quite meh. Early stages, but there may be an EP in the works here of the ones we like best.  New stuff??  Lots of riffs, ideas etc flowing as well for the beginnings of a potential collection of new Simons music, circa NOW is in line as well.  Exciting times - stay tuned.

FROSTING:  I'd like to say "not dead yet".  A release will be underway some time this year.  Mark my words.  There's only so many times you can hear the music in your head, car, ipod etc until it literally drives you crazy and have to get it out.  Anyway - stay tuned.

BLACKMAKER:  Did someone say Blackmaker? Yes.  Looks like the band wants to do a couple of shows to "close the book" and relive some very cool music a few more times.  Stay tuned....

Spiv Solo Acoustic HELL/RED POP FURY:  Check the website for shows.  Hyatt Mag Mile booted the music program in 2016, and just brought it back.  Spiv first show 2/4.  Red Pop FURY is always off the rails.  Spiv apologizes for not announcing our McNallys show that happened In late Jan.  oops........



Till next time, ROCK ON!

SIMPLE SIMON:  Thank you, thank you thank you all who came out to our off the rails SUPERSTAR 20th anniversary show.  Special thanks to Terata for opening the show with fire!  One of our absolute favorite releases in our catalog, it was challenging, exciting and amazing all in one night.  So great to wipe the dust off of songs we've never played live!  There are various youtube clips of songs available to relive the moments!  The show sparked talk within the Simons camp to get together and start breaking ground on new material.  Bring it on!

FROSTING:  Still in the works for more music up the pipe.  Stay tuned!

Spiv solo acoustic HELL.  All good things must come to an end  After a great 4yr run, One of Spiv's comfy, cushy acoustic regular shows is pulling the plug.  Hyatt Magnificent Mile has undergone a management change and guess what that means....  Don't fret, two last chances (12/21, 12/23) to head downtown, shop, chill on the couch with some great food, drinks, a view of the city and the soothing sounds of Spiv - solo acoustic HELL.  Come on down!

That's about all for now.  Have a great holiday season and we'll catch you in 2017.

Rock on!

THREE:

SIMPLE SIMON is playing a show Saturday NOVEMBER 05, 2016.  This is the fourth year of "20th anniversary shows" and the last with regards to Simon history in the 1990's.   Yes, there were a few releases years later, however this particular show/event is monumental in Simple Simon history.  I (Spiv) couldn't put it in words better than my, since childhood friend, brother in arms, been through EVERYTHING together mate, Tony Porfirio disclosed his view in a candid email.  Here it is: 
 

 
ELBO ROOM LIVE PRESENTS!
Doors: 8:00pm Show: 9:00pm 21+  Under 21 accompanied by parent
Ticket Link:  BUY NOW!
 

As many of you (my friends and family) already know, the last four years, my band Simple Simon has celebrated the 20thanniversaries of our CD releases.  OnSaturday, Nov 5th @ the legendary Elbo Room in Chicago, the 4th installment of our 20th Anniversary series - Superstar -  will be performed in it’s entirety; a 20th rule and custom.  The word “epic” gets thrown about a little frequently these days and I’m not sure if the word can ever apply to the works of one Simple Simon, but if it could, Superstar is our Epic.  It is by far our most diverse sounding and introspective record we ever released.  

 

 

Anyone who has attended one or all of the previous 20s knows how amazing it has been for everyone to flash back, nod our heads and rock our balls off.  For me, this show is different.  Since we made the decision (or was it Kathy G that decided) to host these 20s, I have been waiting for this show.  Writing was always fairly hard for us.  Spiv and I almost always had very clear ideas of the directions we wanted to go and there was usually quite a bit of give and take, compromise and sacrifice to find middle ground.  Superstar was different. It was a lightning strike; a supernatural phenomenon; a spiritual awakening.  Spiv and I crossed our proton streams and all life as we knew it did not stop instantaneously and every molecule in our bodies did not explode at the speed of light.  Instead we produced a star…a Super one at that.   Every aspect of this record was unique. (click here)  How it was written, recorded and even the eventual release at the Metro was bizarre and historic.  While it only enjoyed moderate sales, I believe we wrote a truly great record that still sounds and relates as relevant 20 years later.

 

 

This is our most ambitious project and has led to the most prep we have ever put in for one of our 20 bashes.  The rehearsals have been difficult and fulfilling at the same time.  We are incredibly happy that Elbo Room has offered to host and that our long-time friends and musical brethren - Terata - will be sharing the stage with us that night.

 

 

This is going to be a night to remember for me and my SS bros.  The 3 of us will die soon and never play rock and roll (on Earth) again.  I hope you can share the Superstar experience with us, before…you know.

 

 

After party at my house…

I will add this.  I distinctly remember inking the musical tracks at a 2nd floor apartment on Diversey/Austin in Chicago.  It's hard to explain a burst of inspiration from out of nowhere, but the tracks, what eventually became "Superstar" came from out of the blue.  Divine intervention? who knows.  All I know is that I was so excited, I drove to Tony's house in my Pontiac Bonneville (2dr, velvet interior), and demanded he listen to the music with me.  Weeks/months followed, and as Tony said above, we connected.  We discussed song titles, lyrics etc.  It was 100%positive. This was the stuff we read about in magazines.  Doesn't matter that we weren't famous or under contract with some record label, the feelings we felt were absolutely on par with that of genuinely written music, some that inked the deal.  We knew.  We knew.  20yrs later, I'm still figuring out the crazy chords for the songs, one week before the show.  I'm sure we'll make mistakes, but there's no way I can explain what three grown men playing a 20yr old under the radar record that meant so much to us and a regional fan base feels like.   Listen to the whole record.  We're gonna play it. We're gonna play it like it was always meant to be played.  

We're not rock stars. We're not a pea in a giant conglomerate label...

We are part of a generation of creative people, pre-anything instant (internet, ads, etc).  I sometimes feel we're the last of the few who grew up having to practice, earn our keep.

For what it's worth, Superstar is another star, buried in the vivid galaxy of music.

Last note - we will play the hell out of this on a one night only event. You should go to this show and bring a friend.   You're not gonna see something like this ever again.

Rock on-

SPIV

20th Anniversary of the 1996 release "SUPERSTAR"
Elbo Room
Chicago


Hello!  Hope everyone had a brilliant summer, 2016!  We've some shows on the books in Sept, Oct.  A couple of cool shows on the books - the usual swooning, hellish SPIV with his cushy solo  acoustic shows, always a blast..  RED POP FURY has a cool fundraiser for St. Andrews School in Chgo, what has become an annual gig for the fury. This years it's at FAT CAT on Broadway in Chicago. Granted it is a fundraiser, however the venue is open to the public, so feel free to crash it!  RED POP FURY also has a return show at Suzy's in Yourkville IL - 'twas a blast last time, 'twill be a blast this time for sure!

SIMPLE SIMON has finally booked the 20th anniversary show for their 4th release "SUPERSTAR"  SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 05, ELBO ROOM, Chicago.  Superstar is definitely the standout, pivitol record in songwriting approach and growth as musicians and the becoming of a seasoned band.  I know it's my personal favorite of the '90's Simons releases, and vividly remember the entire writing, recording process as well as the amazing CD release show at Metro,Chgo way back in '96.  Amazing memories! Seeing that the SIMONS play the record in its entirety at the past release shows, this show fares no differently. Clocking in at 18 tracks, the gents have a TON of work to do in 1.5months!    And that will make for an explosive pre election day, hmm?    Kick it with the Simons then get your but out and vote!!!!
...aaaand a quick shout out to Kentland related great friend, Matt Friscia (Petty Cash) who recently recorded an upcoming record and will be doing the upcoming tour with the amazing 90's bombasts, POSTER CHILDREN.  Be sure to check him out kickin' out the jams when they blow through Chi-Town!

That's it for this round -

Rock on!
