Okay, it’s getting late over here in Protected Left land, so I’m going to keep this short and sweet.
First off, thanks to all who came out to the show at Mulligan’s this past Friday. It was our first time in Grand Rapids, as well as our new drummer Jason’s first show. Everything went great. Here’s hoping that’s a trend that continues.
Second, we have a show coming up this Saturday in good ‘ol Muskegon, MI. We’ll be playing with our pals Terror! Terror! … Oh, My! who will also be rolling out to the show with us in our beloved van. So, essentially, it will be a rolling party from one town to the next. RSVP HERE!!
Finally, I found a review of our show in Indianapolis, IN last summer. During the show we covered Propagandhi’s “Fuck Religion” and the reviewer mistakenly credited the song to us. Flattered as I am, I just wanted to set that straight. Anyway, you can find the review HERE.
PS - I have to learn to use that new tags feature. Eventually.
We have added a show at The Pyramid Scheme in Grand Rapids on February 10th. You can R.S.V.P to the event at the following link: The Following Link.
Mario’s other band, Lenin/McCarthy, will be headed out on tour this week. If you live anywhere in the tri-state area, they will most likely be coming through your town. Check out the dates here.
Not much new news to report in the PL camp. Chad is in school, Joe just saw NOFX last night in Chicago, and Mario is, presumably, riffing. The one update we do have is another review of our debut ep Songs Of The Doomed, coming to you courtesy of Rockfreaks.net.
To read the full review, check it our here.
This is what it looks like when you forgo showers in favor of long van rides and sweaty rock shows.
Weekend #1 - The beginning
Weekend #2 - The end
Alright, Ladies and Gentlemen. We have safely traversed the highways of the upper midwest. It was trying at times, but we made it home in one piece. I’m sure at least one of us is working on something close to a “tour diary” but that will have to wait for another day.
In the mean time, we did have one upstanding individual post a review of our last show of tour at The Gurley House in Akron, OH (sadly, the show at The Black Cherry in Toledo was canceled). The blog is called Broken Headphones and you can get to the article by following the link below.

Check it out.
