Well ladies and gents, it's that time of the month again, and boy am I cranky. Er ... I mean I'm cranky about having to write this damn newsletter again... you know ... aw hell, forget it. Special hellos to all the new suckers... er, friends, all our new friends that signed up on The Blacklist recently. You'll be getting one of these flyers every day for the rest of your life. Enjoy.
Got a couple of gigs to tell you about this month. The first one's right around the corner - this coming up Tuesday, in fact. We'll be playing at Scalawag's on second street (it used to be JJ's Blues, so you probably know how to find it). A little later in the month, you'll find us at The Phoenix Jazz Club, rippin' it up on a Saturday night. (Saturday, April 13 to be exact. They tried to get us to play April 1st, but we ain't fallin' for that old trick...) If you haven't been to the Phoenix, it's on 1st street downtown, right above Mexico Lindo. Literally, right above. Come early and you can spit in someone's tacos. Hope to see you all there!
