i had no idea they were still a band. i really wish i was free to see them. as much as i love califone (got to consider them the greatest current band from chicago--plus wilco) i might be most excited to see them. especially if they got to play loud.

califone (got to consider them the greatest current band from chicago--plus wilco)
think califone moved to california or some ish dude. suppose you could still consider em from chicago though.
