It was a hard weekend as fans of the band had to drive to three states and four gigs to keep up with our favorite hard banging rock band. As we discussed last week, it appears as though Kimster has split for the twin cities, while Adam is off “experimenting” with pounding out rhythms in the burbs. Silent Brian is still backing Mel's monster vocals.

Couldn't make it to the Kimster's first gig in the Twin Cities, but Rockin' Tim made it down to the Hideout for a farewell with her in an acoustic set. Kim was complaining to the crowd that her stuff was stuck in a snow drift on the North Side and that she was looking forward to squeezing some amps for us in the spring when she'd be back with the Ferrets, a band she played with in the distant past.

Meanwhile in the burbs, Adam exploded a drum head and pounded the crap out of a bunch of cymbals in a Palatine set before heading into the Road House in Janesville to sit in with some boys from down South. It was a note bend time crunching set that put the entire house on edge. As one boy near me screamed “I don't understand!!!”

Mel and Brian were apparently trying a new set of tunes without Adam and Kim as they were unbooked on Saturday. The long weekend putting some serious time together for this fearsome twosome in the garage as they prepared to take on the world again.
