A year ago, our good friends in Chapel Hill, NC
Roberto Cofresi and
Diane Koistenin turned us on to
Red Hot Poker Dots of Melbourne, Australia. Roberto was helping RHPD book a US tour so we got them a gig at
Cal's. These guys and a gal had been touring the Southern States for almost two months already. They started out with an old American car they bought for a few hundred bucks. They strapped the upright bass on top. But that broke down so they rented a van. When they left Chicago, they still had another month of touring ahead of them. It was a great show and we had a splendid time hanging out with the Aussies that night and at the next day's
BBQ at Kilian and Tricia's place. The show was recorded and one of the songs became
Disclexigton's first
track du jour.
Well RHPD is back. And we're doing them one better this time around. RHPD is opening (so get there early 9 PM) for the Helicopters and Kristin Shout at
Martyr's, this Thursday, August 11th. Only $6 bucks. Nice
write up in the Reader. Go! This will be a great show.
Then
definitely come out Sunday, August 14th to
Cal's and catch RHPD again with the
Invincible Czars from Austin, TX opening and our own
THE LATEST headlining. This will also be an early show - 9 PM.
Oh and catch THE LATEST live on the radio this Friday at 9 PM on WHPK's
Pure Hype!
