A week of Maybenauts!!

So many updates!!!

This Friday we will be playing live on the Razor & Die Show!!
You can tune in at 88.7FM if you're in Chicago, or online at www.wluw.org. The show airs from 2:00-6:00PM.

This Saturday we'll be playing at Quenchers!
With Ellie's old band, Haywood Yards.

This Monday we'll be playing a special noontime concert at UIC!
To kick off the celebration UIC Radio's 10th anniversary week!
After the set, we'll be chatting with John Rose and listening to some cuts from our new record on his UIC Radio show. You can listen in at www.uicradio.org.

We've now added a Maybenauts merch store to our website! From here, you can order the Maybfits tees and pre-order our new EP, Big Bang! Pre-orders of the CD come with a digital download - you can listen to the songs NOW, before the record comes out! How cool is that?!

We've also got some great stuff brewing for summer already, so stay tuned!!

February 11th @ the Abbey!

Missed us at Lincoln Hall? That's a shame, because it ROCKED!

But you've got another chance this week:



It's our anniversary show! The Maybenauts are one year old.

First anniversary gifts are traditionally paper in the US. Draw us a picture and get a special surprise at the show!

In the UK, first anniversary gifts are cotton. Because of this photo, we will also accept cotton balls and Q-tips as anniversary gifts!

According to Wikipedia, the "modern American" first anniversary gift is clocks. We will also be accepting clocks and photographs of Flava Flav as well.

Really, you'll get your surprise just for showing up, but we like to encourage our fans to be creative!

Maybefits tees are ready, too! They'll be for sale at the Abbey show, so if you didn't get yours presale (or if you did, and want to pick it up) come on out!

We rocked Lincoln Hall - AGAIN!

Here are some photos for those of you who couldn't be there, by Audrey Leon! Thanks Audrey!







Also, today is our one year anniversary! Our February 11th show at The Abbey will be our official anniversary celebration. Stay tuned for details!

Radio Ga Ga!

Last Sunday we were played on TWO stations right here in Chicago, next to some other amazing local acts. Both DJs also plugged our rad Girls Out of the Garage show which is THIS THURSDAY. This. Thursday. :)

The second show was Chris Payne's Local 101 on Q101 (101.1FM).

How freakin' cool is this!?!?

WE GOT PLAYED ON THE RADIO TODAY!!!!

Chris Payne of Q101 kicked off his show tonight with OUR song, My Head Is a Bomb. HOW FREAKING COOL IS THAT?!?! We stopped practice to listen and recorded it to cassette, because we are nerds like that. :)

Eek!

Our Café Wha Who show (tonight!) has been canceled! Instead, we will celebrate Leilani's birthday in proper new wave goth dress up dance 'til dawn style and reschedule for another time (because we do love Café Wha Who).

Until then, our next show is a big one... January 28 at Lincoln Hall with Wanton Looks, Leslie Hunt, and Scotia Widows. Members of Scotia Widows and Wanton Looks played in The Breeders and KISS bands with us at Covers for Cover II! It's almost like a reunion! SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

Anyway... the show will be amazing and if you're not there, you kinda suck. Just sayin'.

Also, remember our awesome Maybefits t-shirts? We've already sold five in two days!! That means we're 20 away from printing! Yaaaaaaaay!

Here are some gratuitous images of things discussed in this blog:

Maybefits t-shirt come to life (almost)!

Check it out! You can now pre-buy our awesome Maybefits tee.

That means you're helping us afford to get them made! BUT - you also get a discount and FREE SHIPPING for pre-buying! Projected production date: about 1 month.
