Lollapalooza - We're getting closer:

After litterally hanging on for a few months through over 2500 bands, we are still part of the last band standing contest to play Lollapalooza. Our fans, friends, families, and others have kept us in the mix by voting daily and spreading the word in a true grassroots fashion. After that Perry Farrel and other celebrity Judges sent us to this round. Well tonight we partake in part A of a two part round that they are calling the semi finals. We play a live battle of the bands on the South Side in Merrionette Park at a venue called 115 Bourbon St. If you can't make it out or if you are not in Chicago you can still help us win. From 10:30-11:30 Central Standard Time tonight text message the word DEARBORN to 99161 as many times as you can (no limit). The band with the most text messages in that hour becomes one of the final 4 Chicago bands. Then starting tomorrow it goes back to online voting for one week. The band of those 4 that gets the most votes goes to the finals where two of five bands will play Lollapalooza. We are honored to have made it this far and thank you for doing this for us. Now please send some text's tonight and help us advance!

Schedule Change for WGN and "Iguana from Oh My God" is playing with us at the Metro!!

We just found out that our slot on WGN has been moved from the scheduled 8-9 am to 7-8 am. Sorry for any inconvenience this may cause and we hope you can still catch it. We will be posting it on the website if you can't view it ASAP.

Also, Iguana from Oh My God is playing with DEARBORN at the METRO this Saturday. After playing Keyboards on over half of the songs on their new album he was invited to perform this show with them and graciously accepted. For those of you that aren't familiar with Oh My God here are some related links of theirs. (OMG on Myspace - OMG site) Iguana has played with Junior Wells, Buddy Guy, Otis Rush, Van Morrison, Jeff Healey and more. They were on the 3D-MAS compilation last year and are one of Chicago's (and the States) greatest rock bands. His presence adds a serious element to the band and is just one more reason to come check it out the Return of Rock and Roll 2 this Saturday Jan 7th at the METRO
