Jeff Mitchell’s Lonesome Gallery

Hi folks,

Just a quick one.
This thursday, the 9th, I’ll be traveling to Chicago to play with Dr. Kickbutt and the Orchestra of Death at the Flabby Hoffman Variety Show. This will be my first time playing in Chicago and I am therefore “psyched” as the young people in this country used to say. The show is at Phyllis’ Musical Inn in Wrigleyville at 11pm. I think you should attend. Will You? If you do, I will play the musical saw for you.

to recap…

Hi all.

Just finished up a truly enjoyable weekend of music with my friends The Willis, from Oshkosh, WI. Split a show with them last thursday at the HayMarket here in Decorah, IA. They had all grown beards for the tour, with greater and lesser degrees of success. The Willis displayed a rugged, mountain-man demeanor as they took to the stage (floor) of the Market (dive bar). Decorah received the rock gratefully and demanded more, even when the band had spent every round from their bandaleros of song.

An evening of Texas Hold ‘em followed the show at my rural home. Willis members Steve, Todd, and Erik showed their gritty resolve, playing long into the night after all others had punked out and gone to bed. I truly couldn’t help but admire these single-mindedly determined men, as they played on, though their eyes were puffy and beards awash in spittle.

Saturday, I traveled to Minneapolis with my friend Schroeder and took in sets by Dallas Orbiter, The Willis, and Self-Evident, each band sharing with us in their own special way. All in all, a fine weekend with fine folks.

take care, Jeff
