a new morning

I stole the title of this blog entry from the Suede album. Anyway, Airiel has welcomed 2 new members to replace Cory and John. Mikey and Andrew have fit in perfectly and after the 3 shows we've done so far, I foresee nothing less than awesome coming our way. Our first show together was at darkroom for a PANIC! spinoff night I put together called Supersonic on February 2nd. Apteka and Airiel played with DJ Skid, Johnny Kesh, and me DJ'ing. It was a huge crowd and everybody loved the new guys and we the DJs kept the dance party going till the end.

February 17th was a sold out show at Schubas with A Place to Bury Strangers and Holy Fuck. We had a big crowd see us and it was awesome to see APTBS again. This past Wednesday, March 5th, we played Metro. It went really well and I had the big screen and the projections looked fantastic. There's been press in the Chicago Sun Times and New City naming Airiel one of Chicago's top 10 bands to check out, which is pretty exciting. Other than that, I can't wait for more shows and to finish the "Sugar Crystals" video I'm working on. More later...
