Faun Fables Canceled.

I was on the 18 heading towards Downtown somewhere around Nicollet & Franklin when Shane from Guzzlemug sent me a "Show canceled!" text. Apparently their van broke down somewhere in Iowa. Since I was already half way there and had a copy of the Guzzlemug set from the Sleepytime show I told Shane I'd meet him down there. Jello Biafra and the Guantanamo School of Medicine was down the street at The 400 Bar and I was tempted to see if I could record. Good talking with a couple of the Guzzlemug fellas but at that point I just felt like going home and gave 24/7 a ring. Thanks to Billy and The Triple Rock for drowning my sorrows in the meantime.

Guzzlemug is moving to Chicago and these shows will be your last chances to see them around here:

Third time recording Sleepytime and they never disappoint. In my opinion they are one of the greatest bands of our time. Please support them by picking up their official releases. Most SGM and SGM-related releases are available through their online store. Thanks to the band and to The Triple Rock for allowing me to record. Guzzlemug (Minneapolis) wasn't messing around with their supporting set. They were also kind enough to load Sleepytime some gear for this mini-Midwest run.

The 04/13/09 set from The Triple Rock can be downloaded here. Life is good when Sleepytime Gorilla Museum stops through once a year.

Coming Soon...

The first show I ever recorded was Sleepytime in Tempe, AZ Jan. 2004. I have since missed at least three Minneapolis SGM shows for various reasons but I redeemed myself last Monday. This is an amazing band. If you're into it please support them by buying the official releases. Faun Fables and Dub Trio were also recorded. Many thanks to the bands and to The Triple Rock for permitting these sets to be documented. - John 04/18/09

Sleepytime returns to The Triple Rock Friday April 16th with our very own Guzzlemug as support! Tickets are available online, at The Triple Rock and also at Red's Savoy Pizza Uptown location! Stop sleeping.
