http://www.ticketmaster.com/event/0000455202DDA1A1?artistid=1514826&majorcatid=10001&minorcatid=60

and get your tickets NOW for the 4th Annual Yule Dogs Spectactular at the Mercury Lounge, Friday December 10th! We'll be kicking things off promptly at 8 PM and will be followed by Wormburner and Knockout Drops, and as always the evening will conclude with the Yule Dogs (members of all bands plus some Bogmen/Mad Larry/et al) singing all your favorite Christmas hits.

In addition to all the usual excitement, this will be our "Lifeboat For Fatty" Release Party as well, and we'll be performing the album in it's entirety for what will be the first, and most likely last, time! I've assembled a crack team of crackheads to pull it off, and it's going to be freaking awesome.

LAST YEAR SOLD OUT WELL IN ADVANCE, SO GET YOUR TICKETS NOW!




Hope to see you there! Safe swimming,

Vincent

Thanks/Setlist/LIFEBOAT NEWS!

Swimmers!

Thanks to all who made it out to Wicked Willy's last night for the Lifeguard Nights/Hanky Panky extravaganza, and thanks to Satchel Jones for hosting us! It was a wild time and it was a treat to have Dr. Ew Brady back on the keys and vocals for both sets, as we ran through some Lifeguard Nights hits of yesteryear. Here are the sets:

Lifeguard Nights

Whiny White Boy
Downtown
Everything's Falling Apart
Shame
Dire Straits
Lost Boy
Lonely Hwy
Batten Down the Hatches
The Red Eye

Hanky Panky

Tomorrow (Mark Sandman)
I'm On Fire (The Boss)
Sunday Morning Coming Down (Kris Kristofferson)
Back On The Blow (Hanky Panky original)
All Shook Up (The King)
Harvest Moon (Neil Young)
King of Carrot Flowers (Neutral Milk Hotel)
Girls Just Wanna Have Fun (Cyndi Lauper)

We unfortunately had to cut a couple numbers out of the Hanky Panky set due to time constraints, but rest assured, Hanky Panky will probably return to the stage sometime before 2014.

Now for an !IMPORTANT ANNOUCEMENT!

You can now stream all 10 tracks from "Lifeboat For Fatty" for a limited time at:

REMINDER: 4th Annual Mercury Lounge X-mas Show w/Wormburner and Knockout Drops is Friday December 10th. Get your tickets now because THIS WILL SELL OUT! Seriously. It sold out last year weeks in advance. Don't get shut out.

Safe swimming,
