i recently had the pleasure of watching a local band, freaks of nature, absolutely tear through some covers as they practice for an upcoming halloween show. if you’re anywhere near the community center in gays mills, wisconsin on friday october 27th you won’t want to miss their show.

one of the many benefits of moving to viroqua, particularly if you’re musically inclined, is that there’s a large and welcoming set of musicians in the area, and i suspect it won’t be too long before i succumb to the peer pressure to get out every so often and play.

despite appearances, i didn’t play drums. there were two kits, the real drummer was banging away to the left.
