Grande Machine, Skullcranes and Comedy.

It’s true.

Tonight at The Bulldog in Uptown there will be free booze, free food and free music. The Food goes until 7:00P.M. Then comes the rock. One set by The Skullcranes, then, Dan and Johnsons dirty little secret “American Penetration” aka “Testacle” plays a set then another by The Skullcranes. All of these Wednesday activities will be wrapped up by 11:30 so you can get that much needed rest.

Again, Free food, free music and free beer/rail drinks. (not sure how long the drink special lasts, 5-6 maybe?) Hey man, we can’t do everthing.

Ah, yes.

The last few weeks has been a blurry blast emphasized the word blurry. Shows, parties, roadtrips, parties, cold and warm beer, whiskey, jag shots, mmm, coffee, gas station food, pulled pork, coolers of beer, beef jerky, holy shit beer. In other words, lots of fun.

Thanks to all of you who came ot to see us play at the Frequency, The Stones Throw and The Club Underground. Oh, and thanks for buying our new C.D. We hope it hasn’t graduated to “coaster” yet. We usually like that to take 3 to 4 weeks.

We have a slew of shows coming up this summer so check the our schedule often as new shows will be added here and there. Currently we will be in Wausau, Madison, Oshkosh, Lawrence, Lincoln, Omaha, St Paul and Minneapolis; with other trips planned later in the year to Chicago and Rockford.

Check us out on Madison radio station WORT on a program called “Charlie Don’t Surf”.

Friends,

Lets gather around and rejoice this bullshit. The time has come. Yes, the time has come. It was September of 2008 when we said “we should record another record”. 9 months later, IT’S ON!!!! Thats how we do it in the C.H.
Here is how this weekend goes. Friday night @ The Bulldog in UPTOWN, 7:00 TO 10:00 is the happy hour listening party. Come eat, drink, gossip, pick up dudes or whatever the fuck it is you like to do. The new Skullcranes WILL be for sale at The Bulldog and with the purchase of a Skullcrane disc you get a free beer. A beer, not FREE beer.
Saturday night is the messy rock explosion we will call a C.D. release party. Club Underground in N.E. 5 bucks. Bloodcow (Omaha) Droids Attack (Madison) and 20 Dollar Love (Burnsville) will also be there making the stage sticky.

Its been a long time……we are truly looking forward to seeing all of you.

Suck it.

Wha..?

This weeks new song is “Maplewould’nt”. It is track eleven off the new effort by The Skullcranes. The song is about reflection, nostalgia and change. And it’s deep. Real deep.

FYI—

This will be the last “new song” we will be posting until the release, which, by the way is May 12th.

DO IT.

A song about holding hands and friendships.

It is with a heavy heart that we inform you that this Mondays show at The Uptown with The Giraffes has been cancelled. The Giraffes had a family illness and had to cancel thier tour. Let’s wish the best for said family member.

O.K.

So when I sent out that “vote for us/warped tour/ blah blah) mine eyes were on the glory of a 15k guitar center gift card. And I was hammered.

I had no idea that any of it had to do with anything called “buzz factor”.

I apologize.

Please disregard.

Sincerely, all of us at The Skullcranes Inc.
