Last week was pretty huge for me! I got to sing the National Anthem at Miller Park for a Brewers vs. Cubs game on Aug. 22nd. I thought us Shades did a great job considering the likes of this bitch above getting to do it. On top of that the Brewers swept the Cubs! Thanks to the out of towners Josh and Dave for coming down and helping with all the shows.
Then we headed off to Minneapolis to play the Triple Rock Social Club with Murder By Death and Ha Ha Tonka. The highlight of the night for me was getting to eat 2 Juicy Lucy’s from Matt’s Bar, and also catching up with some old friends. Good!
Friday we headed home to share the same bill of bands at Turner Hall Ballroom in our hometown of Milwaukee. It’s always a fun place to play, and have Ruthie run around in all night. I have a long week of work ahead of me but I gotta try to make that money. Happy Birthday to the world’s greatest, and most loving mother Robin Phillip! Love you Mum!
