We really like to see the ridiculous faces we make on stage and make fun of them while consuming beers. In other news, we’re beginning to record the second installment in our Exit EP series. The first one should be printed,...

All Ages Show Friday!
Cherished Again is probably the best furniture spot in Fort Wayne, and now, out of the goodness of their hearts, they’ve built a stage and soundsystem in their warehouse and are holding ALL AGES shows. Totally rad. This means that you can see amazing Fort Wayne indie on the cheap and without having your parents park a block away. Also, no drunk dudes will hit on your underage girlfriend, try...

Wooden Satellites at O'Sullivans
This Friday night, Jan. 22nd Wooden Satellites will join Jinx and the Back Alley Cats and Kids in Europe at O’Sullivans. This show was previously booked at Club Cancun but it appears, if the dark widows and lack of anyone answering the phones are any clue, that it is no longer open for business.
Cover will be a measly $2 and the show starts at 10PM.
Directly following the O’Sullivans...
