everyone in lake county...look out!
Now Playing: "when doves cry" patti smith
we're playing a show next saturday at pirate studio in grasylake! our first show in lake county since january! hope to see y'all there. there was a good turnout for last night's show at pirate, so i'm hoping there'll be that kind of energy at our show.

they're back
Now Playing: All Out Attack "Selective Service System"
Our show on the 29th of April is no longer cancelled. LUMA found a new venue. I'm hoping their first show back goes well. We're hungry for shows. And all age venues!
Our split with Rule 22 has been cancelled, though. We still have our 10 songs. We just don't know what to do with them. Any suggestions, let us know.

some more photos
Now Playing: the faint "call call"
i can't believe how late it's gotten since i started work on the photo page for the november 19th show...well, go look. i'm hoping the next photo page (december 4th) won't take so long. but probably not, since there's about twice as many photos. it'll get easier w/the more i do, i know. i'll start work on that any night but tonight. i'm too tired.
the next show i know we have is on the 5th of march. champaigne y'all! it's a bummer our civic center show got cancelled. i don't believe we're playing lake county for awhile. (which is fine by us. but we know how some of you feel.) we got mchenry, though. that's not too far.
all show updates will be put in the calendar first, so look there before coming here.
take care of yrself,

Oh fuck...
Now Playing: Pink "Most Girls"
All shows at the Civic Center have been CANCELLED ('til further notice). Besides the show tomorrow. Hey, some of us are lucky. Some of us ain't. See ya next month? Or the month after that? Who knows?

what i found
Now Playing: Runaways "Cherry Bomb"
I did some searching for shows that I knew we had coming up, but forget exactly when they'd be. So...go look at the shows page. We're playing in McHenry in the beginning of April. And we're playing in Libertyville in the end of April. I think we have more shows coming up (a couple more with LUMA/Libertyville Civic Center), but I couldn't find any more. But they'll be up as soon as I know.

(pondering)
Now Playing: Bad Religion "Punk Rock Song"
I kinda suck at making d.i.y. patches. But I did make a handful. I'll be giving them away for free at our next show. Maybe I'll make more, if y'all like 'em.
I'm taking down the old journal in a minute. Not that there was anything interesting to it. I don't think anyway.
Check out my friend Nate's band, UPRISING from Detroit. "http://www.uprisedetroit.cjb.net" I'm keeping my fingers crossed that they'll come down & play with us in June.
That's all for now,

a bunch of shows to look forward to
Now Playing: Jem "They"
HMHMICB doesn't have another show 'til the 25th of February. BUT Brxan & Scott's other band, Damaged for Life, have a show the week before (18th, for all the mathematically inclined). At the Libertyville Civic Center. It's going to be a great show. BONUS: Haunted Life & Illuminati (possible CD release show). So, you get two lives; one haunting & one damaged. And you get people who are (or who claim to be) unusually enlightened, who may (or may not) be releasing their new CD.
Back to HMHMICB news...I was talking to Justin about playing shows at the Civic Center. Sounds like we'll be playing their a few times in the next three/four months. I know I'll be setting up a show there in June. Confirmed bands to play are us (well, I should probably check on that), Evil Empire, and The Abjects.
I bought a yard of pink fabric for $1 today. I got my spray paint & stencils. I'm gonna go crazy! CRAZY!!! Ah, the fumes!

I just found out about it. (Sorry to those kids I saw today. Told 'em our next show wasn't until next weekend...) It's @ Pirate Studios in Grayslake on Rt. 45. Obviously, there's more info in the Shows section.

Now Playing: Black Fork "Survey Says Surveillance"
well, i just realized we had a bunch of comments that i had never seen before. i didn't realize i had to go into the comment zone and click to approve them all. weird. anyway, they should be up now. (sorry, brit. i thought you were crazy for a minute.)
