First and foremost, a HUGE thank you goes out to everyone who came out to the show and stuck around for the whole thing. It was a pretty long show and we can't tell you how much your support means to us.


Another HUGE bunch of thanks goes to Junebugger Dan, who is not only one of our biggest fans, but tonight was so kind as to man the door and the merchandise table. You are my rock star. You are my kind of guy. You rock a mountain lion's @$$. Seriously.

Junebug's opening band, Fed By Doris, had to cancel tonight. One of the members lives in Mobridge, SD and couldn't make it to Aberdeen. But luckily, Will Brown was here to save the day. He played some solo acoustic stuff that was really very good. We hope to maybe play with him again.

Dan Cleberg was on hand tonight to play bass with us on some tunes. It was nice to have some added instrumentation live.

According to PJ, the set tonight was 135 minutes without the intermission. That's a record for us. It beats our previous longest show by 45 minutes. Coolness.

We played Da Bomb by Fed By Doris tonight. It was unfortunate that the band couldn't play themselves. However, their drummer and bassist were present and they both happened to be playing with Junebug tonight. So Junebug with Dan Cleberg ripped up kind of a different version of the song with Dan on the vocals since Jer wasn't there, Tony on supporting vocals, and Dustin and Anthony on guitars. It was a fun one, that's for sure.

One thing that made this show different was that at the end, we kept playing beyond the setlist. Cupid was intended to be the last tune, but people wanted to hear more. So we played what we've got of a work-in-progress tentatively called Everything Seems Like a Dream. We then proceeded to play Sittin' on the Dock of the Bay by Otis Redding and then Peej requested Happy Book of Smiles. And as if that wasn't enough, Dustin, Will, and Tony jammed for about 15 minutes on some blues impromptu.

We decided tonight that the Official Junebug Groupies are now called the Official Junebuggers.

It was a fun night.
