Milwaukee Boat Line Summer Concert Series Cruise - This Friday!

Ladies and gentleman, friends, countryman, West 'Stallians - lend us your ears.

We've had a busy last month with the band. Lots of shows, all of them fun and interesting. Starting off with our performance in Appleton May 18th at Jonnie's old stomping grounds, Chadwicks, and then a week later being asked by our good friends at the Best Place to play their (and coincidentally OUR) third anniversary party... just great fun. It is really awesome to see how far we've come as a band over the last three years, and the number and quality of great gigs we are now getting is a testimony to the hard work we've put in. Having a new CD is the icing on the Bockenplautz cake, for sure! 

This last weekend we played for the Wisconsin Paralyzed Veterans of America for a benefit show, which was also a ton of fun. We were asked to do this due to connections Jonnie has with the VA hospital in town, and were very glad to volunteer our PA and our musical talents to the event. About 100 Harley riders met up with us at the beautiful outdoor courtyard at Mr. B's Steakhouse in Brookfield to relax after their morning ride, have a beer or two, enjoy a raffle, and partake in some acoustic powerpop. Cool for us as it was our first outdoor gig in the sun (sunscreen thoroughly applied to all balding bandmembers, no doubt!), and our first time playing for a Harley riders group, which is a little different than what we normally do. We kept our setlist very classic rock heavy, and they really seemed to enjoy us. We also proved what we have always thought - that we are a great daytime beer-drinking band! We were honored to participate in this event.

This Friday, June 14th, is perhaps the coolest gig we have ever had - the date is finally here! Our Milwaukee Boat Line Summer Concert Series Booze Cruise! Please make every effort to attend - this may be our only show in Milwaukee until September!
