Hammerheads, Bottom's Up, and 20,000 Leagues Over..
It's been a few weeks, but some real exciting things have popped up. For one, we've made some friends. Well, two to be exact, really. Our friends Chris & Josh of Hammerhead are too cool for words, so we'll just say, "These guys are too cool for words." They're so "rad" (what am I? A f'n Ninja Turtle?) that they're going on tour with us. What? What' ( Read more... ) -
Seventeen and strung out...
After cancellations, misfires, and endless mischief, the band is still going strong. Why wouldn't we be? We have ten plus songs, a slew of covers, and an evolving following that's growing with each show. To think, we're actually selling albums! Who would have thought that was possible, huh? Well, it is possible and that's been a total plus...not ( Read more... ) -
Not the Weather Underground, but close...
The second show at the Underground Lounge went really, really well. We had something like 40-50 people all stuffed in the bar below, and that was a relief. I just wish people could smoke in bars still. I can only imagine the stuffy atmosphere that would have created, especially if a sweaty, scruffy biker was plopped down at the bar for the whole of ( Read more... ) -
Cobra's, Cougar's and Kyle: Show One Down, Three To Go...
After a year of hype, we finally made it to the Cobra Lounge. It was a cold, cold, cold fuckin' night in Chicago, but we pulled through. Something like thirty or forty people managed to come out for the Thursday show. It was a strong pull and a strong audience, with some great familiar faces in tow, too.
If you haven't been to the Cobra Lounge, it' ( Read more... ) -
We Sell It Back To You When You Beg EP
It took a year and a half, but we finally finished our first EP. It's a brisk eleven minutes, but absolutely worth it. To be honest, for just getting situated here in Chicago back in August, we're moving at a rapid pace. An EP? Booking shows? Another EP on the way? Whoa, we might be getting ahead of ourselves, but whatever... we like to.

The Code Kids debut...
Well, things are officially over with The Pax Romana. It doesn't seem necessary to use the band name anymore, so thus, we've come up with a new one. Thanks to Kyle Masterson, we have a new name ( Read more... ) -
Three weeks and counting...
Only another three weeks and guitarist Jay Ziegler will be moving to Chicago. That means it'll be two years since the band's actually done anything progressive. But, wait a second. That's assuming we haven't been doing anything at all up to this point. Untrue. Very untrue. In fact, the ball is rolling and things are looking brighter than ever ( Read more... ) -

time is running out
I leave Thursday, or as they say, "I leave Thursday."
The Pax Romana has been broken up for a year now. It's sad, it's depressing, but you can't let it get yourself down. On the fortunate side of things, Jay and myself have been recording and demo'ing songs, mainly stuff we've individually written but also stuff we originally intended for the band ( Read more... )
