In preparation for (also to raise money for) our trip next month to the U.K., where Jon Langford and Sally Timms and I et al are playing a bunch of dates, we'll be appearing Sunday at 7 at (where else?) the Hideout.

We'll also be playing a few tunes on WBEZ this Friday morning. Turn it on early and just let it stay on.
