We’ll be playing at Cal’s Liquors on Friday, December 12. It will be our first Chicago show in something like 126 days, so locals jonesing for some Hay Perro, your chance is finally at hand.

As the lateness of this post would suggest, this is a pretty last-minute affair, so details like “what other bands are playing” and “what time things start” have proven elusive. Despite this, an estimate for the show’s start time has been posted to the right.

Cal’s Bar is at 400 S. Wells in the Loop. Barack Obama’s transition headquarters is close by. Perhaps he will be working late and stop by.

In an event that can only be described as very exciting to those involved, we’ll be playing in Akron, Ohio, the hometown of fully half of Hay Perro.

The show is on Saturday, November 15 at Annabell’s Lounge in the city’s Highland Square neighborhood. Things get underway at 10:00, though you might as well come early and take advantage of Annabell’s legendarily low-priced lagers.

Here’s a flyer:

We’re heading back to Milwaukee on October 18 to play another show with the Venom Lords and Pillowfight at the awesomely named Frank’s Power Plant. Judging by this carelessly proofread flyer, there seems to be a zombie theme, so that’s cool.

Show starts at 9:00. If you need the address, Google “Frank’s Power Plant.” It’s the first match.

We will be playing our inaugural Wisconsin show in the fine city of Milwaukee on Friday, September 5. We’re playing at the Riverwest Commons, which is at 815 E. Locust Street.

Things begin at rock o’ clock, also known as 9:00 p.m. Also on the bill are Fetch the Pliers, Pillowfight, and Floor Model.

After almost a year of anticipation, we are finally playing another show with Chicago paragons of rock I Love Rich. This is huge.

The show is on Thursday, August 21 at the Liars Club (1665 W. Fullerton). Things get under way around 9:00. Also on the bill is Come On Come On.

Join us. We’ll be talking about this show for quite some time and it will just be easier if you were there and we don’t have to explain it.

June 6, 2006 was The (inter)National Day of Slayer.

July 7, 2007 was either a day for everyone to get married or forgettably protest climate change.

On August 8, 2008 we will rock Cal’s Bar with Thunderunderus and Deadfingers,

The show starts around 10:00 and we’ll play last. Cal’s is located at 400 S. Wells in the West Loop.

Here’s an enthusiastic flyer:


(n.b. the flyer says the show begins at 8:00. This was presumably done only for admirable purpose of including as many 8s as possible. The show actually begins at 10:00.)

On Thursday, June 5 we’re playing at the Cobra Lounge which according to its MySpace page is “YER ROCK-N-ROLL PUSSY HOLE!!!”

Also on the bill are the Venom Lords and the Veterans. Here’s a flyer.

This will mark the first time we’ve ever played at a bar that carries Schlitz and the second time we’ve played at a bar that advertises its wing specials.

The show starts at 10:00 and Cobra Lounge is at 235 N. Ashland.

Have you ever been to Barrington? Tons of times, right?

Have you ever seen Hay Perro? Once for like five minutes, right?

Well now, at long last, you can combine those two activities. Next Saturday (April 19) we are playing at the Penny Road Pub in Barrington, at the Underground stage. It’s at 545 Penny Road, Barrington, IL.

Joining us are The Wreckage, Urban Squirrel Deluxe, and Matthew Schafer Band. We play last.

They have a lobster claw game machine, people! Like those things at movie theaters filled with stuffed puppies, except here it’s live fucking lobsters that you can eat if you win.

We’re playing out first out-of-state show on April 4 at the Way Out Club in St. Louis. The show starts at 10:00. Also on the bill are Red Card Royale and The Saw is Family.

That’s really all we know. If you’re in the 314 (or even 636) area code, consider joining us.

On Saturday, February 16, we’re traveling 85 miles west to play at Kryptonite Bar in Rockford.

Joining us for this rock extravaganza in Cheap Trick’s hometown will be the Venom Lords and First Round Failure. We sincerely hope that Dan from the Venom Lords will take off his shirt for the second consecutive show.
