December is here already. Looks like I'll need to get working on the 2011 recap soon.
It'll be a novel...
Until that happens, how about some of the usual?
First, I'd like to start by wishing both of my little bros a happy birthday. It's odd how they managed to be born on consecutive days (but years apart). It sucks that Jordan is celebrating his 21st in Afghanistan, but I'm sure his USMC buds are making it worthwhile. Luckily, he'll be home this month. No doubt that Joey, 19, will be celebrating for a couple of weeks: he'll be throwing it down fronting Thor on December 17th.
I spent most of last week running and peddling Whistle When We Break Down CDs, working on the "Out of Our Hands" video, and doing some updates to ChrisJuneIND.com.
Outside of that...
Tuesday was the radio add date for Whistle When We Break Down on 300 college radio stations. Initially I thought it was a national campaign, but there turned out to be some stations in Canada too. Again, I'll spill the beans on radio reports/charting as the info come in. Kudos to Tinderbox Music for getting on board and making this happen!
If you're interested in seeing the station list, I'll post the it at the end of the blog. If you have friends and family or know students in these markets and tip them off, I certainly appreciate it!!
I stopped in at Sacred Apple on Wednesday to get more ink in my left arm. It's healing up nicely. Thanks to them for being an IND sponsor & taking care of me. I'm looking forward to sporting their new shirt & my new work at shows.
I barely made it to catch the end of the Frankfort Applebee's Open Mic on Thursday. There were several new faces/acts in attendance. I'm glad it's starting to pick up. Jason Wells is doing some good work over there.
The Jurassic Park Pop Fest went down at the Lafayette Theater on Saturday afternoon. My bro & I stopped in to see Why I Like Robins' set, but it turns out they got bumped from the bill. That was a bummer, but I was entertained by other acts (wishing I'd have taken notes on what their names were).
Coming up this week:
Between administrative work, IND practice, and guitar lessons, I'll be hanging at Lafayette Live at the Lafayette Theater on Wednesday night & running sound at Black Sparrow on Friday night. I'll most definitely have CDs on me.
Also, IND drummer Chris Parker will be filling in for our buds in The Enders for their shows in Lafayette at Foam City on 12/9 and Indianapolis at Indy's Jukebox on 12/10. If you're hip to aggressive/punk/hardcore-ish tunes, make stops at their shows!
That does it for the weekly update. Thanks for stopping by!
As always, to get mini-updates between blogs, catch me on Twitter: @ChrisJuneIND and Facebook: Listn.to/ChrisJuneIND.
Have a great week!!
