It's been awhile since our triumphant CD release party at the Ritz, and it was time to show our faces in public once again. We grabbed our friends Moving Parts, whom you may have seen at the Ritz, and we headed down to the Driftwood in South Minneapolis. As you may know, it's a nice little haunt with that neighborhood atmosphere. Always a good time. Moving Parts rocked the place, and drew a good bunch of folks there.

This show was kind of a reprise of our release show with some other stuff thrown in, too, such as our brand new version of the Fab Four's "Please Please Me." (That's the Beatles to the uninitiated.) 

Before "Give Yourself" tonight, Anthony said that every album that involves facial hair needs a good breakup song. "I shaved mine," Dustin said. "It was a mistake." I chimed in. "I didn't like this beard at first, but then it grew on me." Groans were sent up. And then we played the saddest song we've written. Hilarity.

We filled the night with plenty of rock and grooves and when our time came to an end, the remaining crowd absolutely demanded an encore. So we burped up "Jumpstart My Rocket" to close. 

What more can be said about this show? It was a fun time at a fun place with fun people. And facial hair. Beards.
