Hello,
I am announcing some rock shows.
I guess I am promoting them.
We are from here and we lurk and read this list everyday mostly, but we
only post shows...
Are we evil?  Maybe...

Maybe you would like to come and say hello and tell us, it could be
nice times.

Gutshot and Thirsty are from Athens and make dark acoustic music, like
if Iron and Wine was from Texas and drunk and mean instead of from
Miami and high and nostalgic.  They have a ukelele and a bass-jo.  They
have a new vinyl LP called "Songs About Women and Dying" and it has
nice artwork and lovely sad songs.

Mount Moriah is still slow-core alt.country of sorts.  It shares
members with In the Year of the Pig, which is neither slow-core or
alt.country, but the door guy at Reservoir liked our show last Tuesday
so that was nice...

thanks for your time,
we like you and think you are very special
