It's been a while since Heiruspecs has made an appearance at the Whole Music Club (almost 5 years), but they are set to play here on Friday, December 11th. Tickets are on sale now!

Aw man. We just talked with Aaron "Lazerbeak" Mader on the phone and made some good plans for his appearance on Making Music this Thursday.

We are also super excited about our All Girl Drummer Night - Chicks With Sticks. That show is going to rule.
