with Walt Mink
SALARYMAN TRANSMISSION: TODAY WE PLAYED AT CLUB SODA IN KALAMAZOO, MICHIGAN, OUR FIRST SHOW EVER IN MICHIGAN .WOULDN’T YOU KNOW IT, WHEN WE GOT THERE, WE WERE INFORMED THAT THE BAND POSTER CHILDREN (ALSO FROM OUR HOME TOWN OF CHAMPAIGN) WAS PLAYING AT THE CLUB ACROSS THE STREET, CALLED THE WAREHOUSE, ALSO TONIGHT, AT THE SAME TIME AS OUR SHOW. IT WAS ANNOUNCED IN THE LOCAL PAPER AND ON THEIR BULLETIN BOARD. THERE WERE MANY CONFUSED PEOPLE WALKING AROUND. WE DID NOT GET OVER TO THE WAREHOUSE TO SEE IF POSTER CHILDREN ACTUALLY DID PLAY, BUT WE HAVE A SNEAKING SUSPICION THAT THEY DIDN’T. WE NEVER SAW THEIR VAN OR ANY OF THEM AROUND THE AREA.
WALT MINK, WHO ARE FRIENDS OF POSTER CHILDREN, PLAYED AFTER US. THEY ARE A FUNKY-BUTT ROCK BAND WHO DON’T REALLY SOUND LIKE ANY OTHER BAND IN THE WHOLE WORLD. THEY HAVE AN INCREDIBLE BASS GUITARIST NAMED CANDACE, AND NOW A NEW DRUMMER NAMED ZACK, WHO IS A JAZZ-BO. WE HAD A GREAT TIME TALKING TO THEM; THEY HAVE A NEW ALBUM OUT NOW ON THEIR OWN LABEL, THAT’S INDIE ROCK, KIDS. THE RECORD IS CALLED COLOSSUS. SALARYMAN END TRANSMISSION.
