HAY PERRO

Annabell’s Lounge (Akron, OH)

ben — Thu, 30 Oct 2008 23:47:13 +0000

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:

Frank’s Power Plant (Milwaukee)

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.

Summer of Destruction

We have a new EP out. It was released on Belgian Style Records and is called “Summer of Destruction.” Details and a couple of MP3s are on the “Recordings” page.

The David Packer-drawn cover looks like this:

There was discussion of using our own blood for the cover as KISS did but we ultimately opted for red ink.

You can buy one here. If your budget has no room for new Hay Perro product, you can also just ask a band member for one and he or she will probably give it to you.

(n.b. There is no “the” in the title. It was omitted intentionally and for highly artistic reasons. When recommending the EP friends and casual acquaintances, please refer to it by its proper title.)

Riverwest Commons (in Milwaukee)

ben — Tue, 19 Aug 2008 00:14:37 +0000

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.

Liars Club (w/ I Love Rich and Come On Come On)

ben — Sun, 10 Aug 2008 19:46:52 +0000

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.

Cal’s Bar (w/ Thunderunderus and Deadfingers)

ben — Sat, 28 Jun 2008 19:03:52 +0000

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.)

The Cobra Lounge (w/ the Venom Lords, the Veterans)

ben — Fri, 09 May 2008 21:53:26 +0000

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.

Penny Road Pub

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.

The Way Out Club (St. Louis, MO)

ben — Tue, 25 Mar 2008 23:18:18 +0000

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.

Hay Perro in the Illinois Entertainer

ben — Sun, 02 Mar 2008 18:02:54 +0000

In November, the Illinois Entertainer ran a positive review of “A Stepper’s Affair.” Since the page didn’t show up in Ben’s weekly Google searches for “‘hay perro’ ‘a stepper’s affair,’” we only found out now.

Their kind words have forever been archived here. If there’s ever an Hay Perro press kit, the final sentence will likely be quoted.
