Now announcing, presenting to you now, children of all ages, (including anyone still hanging around from the Stone Age [please no mammoths])---
If you are brave of heart, come find us in Solon Springs, WI, December 11th (a Saturday). I say brave because we will be winter camping, yes, outside, yes, in a canvas tent, and yes with a wood-burning stove! A strange place to have a show, you may think? Well, it is! We are playing our first paid gig (woo-hoo!) at a "mercantina." This, in short, is a hardware store with a liquor store/venue attached. Only in Wisconsin, I suppose....
We met the man who is responsible for creating a very popular kind of tent for winter camping. After hearing us play some of our tunes at a different winter camping event, he got our info and asked if we could be the entertainment for this event in December.
He has offered us a tent to sleep in and it is free. If you are brave, and would like to come camp along with us during that evening, we can bring some people with. Please let us know in advance so that we can e-mail Duane and ask for enough tent space. I'm sure we can all squeeze into one and be cozy and warm with each other. We will be playing 3 sets throughout the afternoon and into the evening. There may be a warming tent/beer tent outside as well. If you just want to drop by for the music, we would love to see you there! It is about 30 minutes south of Duluth, though I don't have any further directions yet.
If you cannot join us, please be there in spirit, as we say a big Congrats, Na Zdrowie (to your health in Polish/Russian), Gratis! and Huzzah to the Rail Yard Ghosts as we kick off our first show! Lets Dance in the Name of Dirt!
Coming Soon: audio of our music for this here blog thing. Maybe even some video from the show!
P.S. Please also stay tuned for links to our individually recorded music, we are excellent, if I do happen to think and say so myself. :) Please send us links to your art, music, poetry, zines, whatever! We could always use a new pen pal.
