It's been a rough recently, folks. Instead of dropping the ball on blog stuff like last week, I'm going to throw out the 'reminders' and call it even.

The shows on the EVENTS PAGE are below.

• 07/21 - Chris June IND LIVE with Rotovox, Minsky Kinks, The Enders, and Evasive - Lafayette, IN
• 07/27 - Chris June IND LIVE with Kramus - Indianapolis, IN
• 07/28 - Chris June IND LIVE with Born Under Burden, etc. - Frankfort, IN
• 08/18 - Chris June IND LIVE with Arch Drive Goodbye and Through the Ashes - Mishawaka, IN
• 08/25 - Chris June IND Unplugged at Mitch-a-palooza - ROCK FOR THE WOUNDED - Frankfort, IN

Check out the lovely Roxie Vette of Minsky Kinks modeling the shirt

If you're heading out to the show this weekend, remember that Rurban and Chris JuneIND launched a contest to give away a Rurbanized IND logo shirt.

To enter, ‘like’ the Chris June IND, Minsky Kinks, and Rurban pages on Facebook… and leave a wall comment on each saying “Roxie sent me.”

In addition to the shirt, the winner will also receive some Minsky Kinks swag (button, magnet, & Roxie Vette patch).

We’ll draw the lucky lady’s name from a hat on Friday, July 20^th at 7:06pm and pass the goods off to her at our Aces Pub show on Saturday, July 21^st.

It’s worth mentioning that Aces Pub is a 21+ establishment and the winner must be present to claim the prize(s).

Also, the shirt size is SMALL.

Guys may enter to double the chance of their ladies winning the prize(s) and ladies may enter to double the chance of their ladies (Hubba hubba) winning the prize(s).

Disclaimer: Roxie Vette not included

That does it for this week’s, uh, update.

Here's another timely and shorty recap brought to you from the AC at IND HQ! 

I kept pretty busy last week doing un-blog-worthy stuff. Figures...

Sometimes you have to lay low and regroup.

The lull broke when the boys and I rallied on Friday to get gnarly for charity at the Kevin Reynolds Benefit at Aces Pub.

Here's the set:

"Guilt that Keeps on Giving"
"My Rx"
"Feed Me a Lie"
"Pocket and Soul"
"Heartkiller" - H.I.M. cover
"Before it Gets to Me"
"Settling"
"Boys of Summer" - Don Henley/The Ataris cover
"Amputee" - Oceansize cover
"Dear Reason"
"Out of Our Hands"

I popped a string mid-song a little before the half-way mark. I consider it a win when the rest of your band doesn't notice until after the song's over. :-)

Chris and Drew ripped through a short "Lowrider" and Primus medley while I made a quick string swap.

Although I fought with tuning for the rest of the set, it didn't ruin my fun!!

PS: The fixed-bridge/locking tuner combo on my Tele = awesome.

Mr. Rich Couch and Desert Island 5 got us involved with the show. Those dudes, along with Kyle Bledsoe and The Mixtapes, packed the place and jammed hard all night! Thanks to them and the Aces Pub crew for taking care of everyone and throwing the shindig for Kevin!!

If you missed the benefit, fret not. We'll be moving around a bit over the next month-ish:

• 07/07 - Chris June IND LIVE with For Pete's Sake - Mulberry, IN
• 07/21 - Chris June IND LIVE with Rotovox, Minsky Kinks, The Enders, and Evasive - Lafayette, IN
• 07/27 - Chris June IND LIVE with Kramus - Indianapolis, IN
• 07/28 - Chris June IND LIVE with Born Under Burden, etc. - Frankfort, IN
• 08/18 - Chris June IND LIVE with Arch Drive Goodbye and Through the Ashes - Mishawaka, IN
• 08/25 - Chris June IND Unplugged at Mitch-a-palooza - ROCK FOR THE WOUNDED - Frankfort, IN

Keep your eye on the EVENTS PAGE as I'll continue to add dates. I'm ready to see you out & about!

If you can't wait for the show, check out these live videos I found online last week. I can play for you right now on your computer or phone! :-)

Here's a solo unplugged performance of "Pocket and Soul" from the Purdue Farmers Market; captured by Indiana Agriculture.

Here's us doing a cover of Chevelle's "Point #1" at Camp & Jam; edited and posted by our friend Mark from Refrigerator Mother.

That does it for this week’s update.

Today (Monday, July 2nd) is the last day to pick up "Dear Reason"  from the iTunes and Amazon.com stores. Like "Settling," I'm letting it expire. If you're down with the cause and/or support independent music, it's only a whopping 99 CENTS. No pressure.

And... if you're down for blowing all the money hiding in your couch, you'll get a free download of "Before it Gets to Me" when you purchase Whistle When We Break Down from the Bandcamp Page! That's an extra 4 songs for $3!!!
