Rescheduled!! Tonight’s (Sat) show at BubbleHouse Brewing has been rescheduled. We just wanted to do one last post about it in case any of our Chicago friends had missed the previous ones about it being canceled. We still love Bubblehouse very much and look forward to seeing them in 2026!

Wild things happen In Music City, like Kitty (and drums) waiting in the ring to film the opening credits for the Music City Pro Wrestling television show. We did a mini set, played our friend Jeremiah Plunkett to the ring (where we only watched the NWA Mid America championship belt). In Music City!

What a wild Halloween weekend in Galesburg & Dixon, IL! This is our friend Eric who came down all the way from LaCrosse, WI in a very questionable car. We all did the Mash and our minds were blown when everyone was calling for us to play “The Queen of Halloween.” It was a scream!

Halloween weekend is here! Kitty may have worked Nancy a bit too hard learning this year’s Halloween set, but it will definitely be worth it on Fri (10/24) in Galesburg, IL at Reserve Artisan Ales and Sat (10/25) in Dixon, IL at Val's Place. Listen to "The Queen of Halloween" and get ready!

"He's a Bad, Bad Man" is a Top 10 track on this awesome Australian radio station ( @banksradioau.bsky.social )! If this keeps up, we might just have to go play Australia...

Why does Nancy think they’re Lemmy now? Because of what the world-famous Decibel Geek Podcast said! They also discussed our friend Jeremiah Plunkett, our "Jim Cornette Experience" theme, and rumours about Music City Pro Wrestling's biggest card in company history! Love Rock? Give a listen!

A little bird told Kitty that we’re playing Edwardsville, IL on Friday and that we’ll be doing a special Halloween set just for E-Ville (mwahahahaha!). It happens at Samm’s Last Chance from 8-11 p.m. Wear black clothes, feel awesome!

We made Spotify spookier! TIDAL terrifying! Apple Music maniacal! “The Queen of Halloween” is here! In the great tradition of spooky 60s Halloween garage rock novelty songs, it’s 2:09, soaked in reverb, and has just enough theremin to make your spine tingle!

Recording! (Any guesses what?) Our secret to a great 8-string bass tone includes: a 1960s Kustom 2x15, a ribbon and dynamic on the same speaker (in phase), and our proprietary feline sound enhancement system up top.
