Official CD Release and BIG NEWS!

TONIGHT we'll be interviewed on Q101 with Local 101's Chris Payne!
Tune in at 9:00PM to 101.1FM in Chicago or listen live online at Q101.com.

A quick shout-out:
Our listening party was a phenomenal success thanks to Dave, Kristine & Melissa of Late Bar, Katrine & her rollergirl waitresses, DJ Kenny Kicks & DJ Gary for sharing their glam night with us, August & Frankie at NoVo Arts, and ALL of our wonderful fans and friends who came out, drank bamboo shots and danced the night away with us. Being a Maybenaut kicks ASS these days!

But we're not even close to finished... THIS WEEK we have two big, big events where we'll play LIVE and rock your socks clean off and onto a fox:

In-store performance at Laurie's Planet of Sound!!
This Thursday, May 20th at 7:00PM
We'll be playing the record and a few of our favourite new songs, signing CDs, and making a general mess of ourselves at Chicago's COOLEST record store. This ain't Best Buy. This is a REAL record store. If you haven't been there yet, now is the time to check it out: 4639 N Lincoln Avenue in Chicago, IL. The show's all ages, so bring the (respectful & well-behaved) kids!
