We rocked the Cubby Bear last Thursday - thanks to everyone involved! Gidgets Ga Ga, Fritzpatrick, the staff at Cubby Bear (special bonuses to Jamie Duffy the rockin' soundguy, and their badass supernice all-around awesome security team), and all of our friends and fans who came out!

We're planning some tour dates for our Wisconsin fans, too! We'll be hitting Milwaukee's Cactus Club on Friday, June 4 and Madison on June 5 (venue TBA).

The following weekend we'll be performing at Steel Bridge Song Fest, a veritable mini-SXSW that focuses on songwriting. Three of our lovely members will be participating in the preceding week's songwriting workshop, Construction Zone. SO. FUCKING. EXCITED.

The Double Door show was great! All four bands sounded AMAZING - these girls can REALLY rock. Remember to check out everyone we played with, because you will NOT regret it!!

Airlines X from Chicago
and The Handcuffs, also from Chicago

Thanks to those who wore the panda masks and rocked along with us!





On another note, this month we'll be heading back up to Madison, WI to mix with Mister Travis Kasperbauer (featured above), and that means our completed EP will be available very soon!

Girl Power Double Door Extravaganza

Also playing are:

Whore Du Jour (of Madison, Wisconsin and featuring Travis Kasperbauer, the producer of our upcoming EP, on guitar)

You don't want to miss this one - four severely rocking chick-fronted bands for a measly $5.

Holy Crap, That Was Awesome.

The Maybenauts are all busy recuperating from the most unbelievable weekend ever. We kicked off our Easter/Passover celebration early with a show in Chicago at Quenchers on April 9, and then hit the road to visit our northern neighbors with a show in Madison at Inferno on the 10th. The show was a blast, with Madison locals The Type. Shhhhh... There have been talks of a split 7" with The Maybenauts and the Type!!

After our wonderful show we settled in with our hosts, Travis Kasperbauer and Jane Wiedlin, and went to task tracking five glorious tunes. Travis worked his magic at the control board while Jane helped produce some unbelievable vocals.

We hope to have some rough mixes in the next week and start working on finalizing the recordings and some cover art... When will the new EP be available??? Oh, soon, little children, soon...

Ready, set... GO!

It's booked! In April we will be heading to the lovely town of Madison, Wisconsin to record with the awesome production team of Travis Kasperbauer and Jane Wiedlin. We'll be laying down some of the new songs you've been hearing at shows for the past few months, in preparation for the release of our debut EP as The Maybenauts. We'll also be playing a show while we're out there - we'll keep you posted on the details.

Until then, we just announced a handful of new shows that are coming up (including a visit to our neighbors in Indiana). Check 'em out and check us out! We promise you a good time, baby. ;)
