Aviation Club: Monday

I was fired up about an Aviation Club reunion a few weeks back at Off Broadway, and must say that's it's good news that the group's returning for another show, this coming Monday at the Bluebird. Danny Hommes sends along the word, and I'll note there's a reference to yours truly here, as I sorta/kinda suggested the opening groups for A.K.A.C.O.D., the Club and Bill Boll.

If you like clean, honest pop/rock, this is a show for you - and pack a few extra bones, since Jet Lag's will probably be for sale. That's just a guess.

Hello to all,

Well the last gig (which was supposed to be "the last gig") was loads of fun. We actually pulled it off to the degree that we can pull it off. Our apparent friend, music scribe Thomas Crone referred us to what some say is the new hot spot for live music in town "The Bluebird" and so it goes, we're booked for another show. Its funny how that works out. The rest of the band is really busy preparing for a huge Lettuceheads show in March and we promised to not let Aviation Club interfere with that effort, but alas, it looks like we've got to go have another evening of great fun playing music almost everyone has forgotten or never knew in the first place.

I've been New Year purging the crap laying around my house and came across this collection of actual press quotes about Aviation Club. (full disclosure; I wasn't in the band when these were written, just coattail ridin' as it were)

"They're from the Midwest? Too bad they're stuck here where probably no one will notice them" referring to an opening slot for Violent Femmes

"Aviation Club may be top original band in town" circa 1983

"It's no secret they're great"

"Aviation Club bears watching like no other band in St. Louis"

But enough about "them", if you missed the last show, you should make it to this one, it might just be our second to last.....
