The Trouble with Sweeney have two lately announced shows this weekend: July 25 | The Empty Bottle, Chicago, IL | w/ OKGO and Bang!Bang!

I made it back from tour with Reels of White Softly Flow. There was lots of road trip excitement, including stops at a couple of local diners and a visit to my parents’ house in Indiana. I planned to post the car playlists here, but seem to have left them at home. I’ll try to get them up soon. I’m now in Montreal and am going to see the Expos and Phillies play later tonight. I’ll be off for Italy on Wednesday. Don’t forget, both Saxon Shore and Denison Witmer are on tour, be sure to catch them live when they come to a town near you. The Trouble with Sweeney have been in residency on Monday’s at Pete’s Candy Store in Brooklyn and Tuesday’s at Silk City in Philadelphia. 16 August is the store release date for Early Day Miners one-sided LP. :::scott:::
I received the test pressings for Saxon Shore : Four Months of Darkness LP and Early Day Miners : Deep Harbor one-sided LP today in the mail. It’s a bit like Christmas when this stuff shows up. Quite exciting and foretelling a very busy summer for vinyl releases at btv. Hey, did you visit The Onion this week yet (it is Wednesday, all of you cubicle drones)? Wander on over to The Onion AV Club and see the nice words they had to say about The Marionette and The Music Box. Another reason for me to be smiling this evening on minimal sleep and preparing to fly to Amsterdam tomorrow. The Trouble with Sweeney just received 5/5 in A.P. for I Know You Destroy!, though I haven’t seen the mag yet.
